WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A solid can serve as a medium for heat and sound wave interactions just like a fluid does for thermoacoustic engines and refrigerators – resulting in leak-free machines that can ...

When designing mechanical systems for nonsterile solid dosage drugs, there is more to consider than just the design/selection of the actual HVAC equipment. There are many factors and components of the ...

WHILE the specific heat, melting point and many other physical constants of a crystal are definite for any defined chemical composition, the mechanical strength may vary widely from specimen to ...

Solid-state relays provide robust solutions for electronic switching in load control applications and hold many advantages over electromechanical relays. New, emerging solid-state relay designs offer ...

When we think of relays, we tend to think of those big mechanical things that make a satisfying ‘click’ when activated. As nice as they are for relay-based computers, there are times when you don’t ...

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

Introduction to the formulation and implementation of inelastic constitutive relations for solids. Viscoelasticity, rate-independent plasticity, viscoplasticity. State variable descriptions and ...

Towards all solid-state batteries based on the mechanical properties of their components Prof. Matsuda research group at Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, Toyohashi ...

Non mechanical. Solid state refers to electronic circuits composed of transistors, resistors, capacitors and other components, which may be discrete, single devices, or millions of them can be created ...

The advent of the touchscreen/capacitive sensing has many engineers wondering: Is the mechanical switch obsolete? How about the mechanical relay? There are many good ...
