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 ...

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

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

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