Periodic arrays of shunted piezoelectric patches are employed to control the propagation of elastic waves in phononic beams. Each piezo-patch is connected to a single resistance-inductance-negative ...

The dispersion characteristics of a piezoelectric plate under the laser excitation are studied. The LAMB wave dispersion curves of the piezoelectric plate are calculated for both electrically open and ...

A new sandwich-style triboelectric nanogenerator improves smart flooring by harvesting motion-based energy, even in wet ...

The Institute of Physics of Materials of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IPM CAS), located in Brno, has acquired a CeraFab ...
