Blindly assuming the dynamic peak torques listed on servomotor data sheets for a design almost always results in over-sized, inappropriately expensive gearboxes. A motor’s acceleration peak torque is ...

Materials scientists have found that oscillating loads at certain frequencies can lead to several-fold increases in the strength of composites with an interface that is modified by a molecular layer ...

Using the fast dynamic load described in this Design Idea to test the transient response of a power system can reveal many critical operating characteristics. The voltage deviation resulting from a ...

The simplest model of a battery comprises an ideal voltage source that connects in series with a resistance whose value—often a few milliohms—depends on the battery’s electrochemical condition and ...
