Energy harvesting from human motion faces the challenges of low frequency and random
excitation. One strategy that has been successful in the past is frequency up-conversion …

The efficacy of reduced order modeling for transstenotic pressure drop in the coronary
arteries is presented. Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death worldwide and the …

Traditional industry is experiencing a worldwide evolution with Industry 4.0. Wireless sensor
networks (WSNs) have a main role in this evolution as an essential part of data acquisition …

The present paper describes the application of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to
large eddy simulation (LES) of the T106A low-pressure-turbine profile with unsteady …

When modeling a droplet impingement, it is reasonable to assume a surface is flat when the
radius of curvature of the surface is significantly larger than the droplet radius. In other …

This paper discusses the operating principle of a rotational energy harvester for body motion
with an eccentric proof mass. A mathematical analysis for the rotor motion under different …

Many industrial applications incorporate rotating shafts with fluctuating speeds around a
required mean value. This often harmonic component of the shaft speed is generally …

There is a growing belief that wearable computers and sensors will enable new applications
in areas such as healthcare, personal fitness or augmented reality. The devices are attached …

This paper presents a piezoelectric rotational energy harvester based on the frequency up-
conversion principle and building on the findings from a previously introduced device. The …

Cyber-physical systems are the natural extension of the so-called “Internet of Things”. They
are “systems of collaborating computational elements controlling physical entities”. Cyber …
