Steam turbine blades are critical components in power generation, and their failure can have profound economic and safety implications. Recent studies have underscored the importance of understanding ...

A root-cause investigation was undertaken at a North American nuclear generating facility when 4 kV switchgear bearings failed. Because the origin of the malfunction was not obvious, the goal was to ...

In this video we take a look at how vibrating systems can be modelled, starting with the lumped parameter approach and single degree of freedom models. We then go on to look at damping, the ...

Korean researchers have developed an energy harvester that can generate electric power from ambient vibrations with diverse frequencies through a novel automatic resonance tuning mechanism. It was ...

Energy harvesting technology is applied to "harvest" electrical energy from dumped energy sources around us, such as vibration, heat, light, and so on. A device that is capable of harvesting energy ...
