Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) encompasses the complex interplay between fluid flows and structures, where the dynamics of a fluid can induce oscillatory responses in structures and, reciprocally, ...

Researcher Francisco Huera at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Spain has designed a device that harnesses the energy of ...

Catalan scientists have built a pendulum-based energy-harvesting system that converts the vibrations of water currents into ...

Moving stages are essential but challenging components in semiconductor and nanotechnology manufacturing. These stages, used in wafer inspection, lithography, metrology ,and other applications can ...

An international research team has investigated the impact of wind-induced vibrations on solar modules and has found that wind-induced stress can have significant mechanical repercussions on PV arrays ...
