These materials are also used in everyday devices, such as loudspeakers, which rely on piezoelectrics to convert electrical signals to mechanical vibrations which create sound waves to produce the desired acoustic signal.
Nanoscale rods of the material wobble in response to mechanical stress — such as the vibrations produced by sound — and generate an electric field.
Such a system is capable of detecting the mechanical vibrations in a very short period of time as well as being sensitive enough to detect minimum displacements and over a very broad range of vibrational amplitudes.
The researchers discovered the high - tech material can act as a microphone (by capturing the vibrations from sound, or mechanical energy, and converting it to electrical energy) as well as a loudspeaker (by operating the opposite way: converting electrical energy to mechanical energy).
This mechanical vibration can be thought of as a musical note from a tuning fork, but in optomechanics it involves tiny devices specifically designed for this purpose.
The experimental design draws from his recent research in the field of optomechanics, which Savona describes as «the art of conceiving systems in which light interacts, in highly controlled and highly tailored way, with a mechanical vibration of some sort.»
Minimization of mechanical aging effects such as flow induced vibration, metal fatigue and the like.
The thermal -, mechanical - stress analysis, vibration analysis and whatever you like to do as an engineer.
Over time, electrical and mechanical equipment will eventually deteriorate from many variables such as loading on a circuit, vibration, fatigue and age, etc..
This means that the device is capable of withstanding harsh conditions such as extreme weather, mechanical shocks and vibrations, and intense solar radiation.
