Implementation

This paper reports a novel large-vertical-displacement (LVD) microactuator that can generate large piston motion at low driving voltage. A LVD micromirror device has been fabricated by using a unique DRIE CMOS-MEMS process that can simultaneously provide thin-film and single-crystal silicon

Abstract A semi-analytic sharp-boundary model of a nonaxisymmetric vertical displacement event (VDE) in a large aspectratio, high-beta (i.e. β ∼ ), vertically elongated tokamak plasma is developed. The model is used to simulate nonaxisymmetric VDEs with a wide range of different plasma equilibrium

countermovement vertical jumps on vertical displacement. J Strength Cond Res 25(9): 2448–2452, 2011—Complex training is characterized by pairing resistance exercise with plyometric exercise to exploit the postactivation potentiation (PAP) phenomenon, thereby promising a better training effect

SUMMARY Measurements of horizontal and vertical displacements are carried out mostly based on reference points identified as fixed. In surveying practice there may be some situations in which there is not possible to perform the measurements with reference to stable points or the difficulties

We have micromachined and tested the first paraffin–PDMS composite thermal microactuator having multi shot large vertical displacement capabilities (~160 µm for 1 mm diameter device). A solid to liquid phase change of trapped paraffin into the PDMS is used to create a large volume dilatation

Abstract The moving point load problem in soil dynamics is analyzed in the vertical particle displacement approximation. Prior to its motion, the load is stationary. From the instant at which it is set into motion it moves, with constant speed, along a straight path on the (horizontal) planar

Turbulent scalar fluxes are determined by correlating vertical velocity measurements, commonly made on towers with a sonic anemometer, with scalar density measurements made with an appropriate fast response

In many bridges, the vertical displacements are the most relevant parameters to be monitored in both the short and long term. Current methods (such as triangulation, water levels or mechanical extensometers…) are often tedious to use and require the intervention of specialised operators
