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 ...

Liquid electrolytes enable fast ion transport but can raise safety concerns, and lithium metal anodes—despite their high capacity—can grow dendrites that trigger short circuits and rapid failure.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
