Shunt damping of structures has been heavily researched, both passively and actively. Negative capacitance shunts actively control vibration on a structure and have been shown to obtain significant broadband suppression. The use of smaller piezoelectric patches, implemented in a periodic array, can alter the behavior of the control. Assorted shunt arrangements as well as circuit configurations will be investigated. Experimental results will be compared to theoretical predictions of shunt performance.

Abstract In continuation of the work on interaction between shock waves and magnetic fields 1,2 the experiments reported here measured the atomic and electron densities in the interaction region by means of an interferometric and a spectroscopic method. The transient atomic density was also calculated using a one-dimensional theory based on the work of Johnson3 , but modified to give an improved physical model. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions.

Abstract.This work measured $ \mathrm{d}\sigma/\mathrm{d}\Omega$dσ/dΩ for neutral kaon photoproduction reactions from threshold up to a c.m. energy of 1855MeV, focussing specifically on the $ \gamma p\rightarrow K^0\Sigma^+$γp→K0Σ+, $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0\Lambda$γn→K0Λ, and $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0 \Sigma^0$γn→K0Σ0 reactions. Our results for $ \gamma n\rightarrow K^0 \Sigma^0$γn→K0Σ0 are the first-ever measurements for that reaction. These data will provide insight into the properties of $ N^{\ast}$N* resonances and, in particular, will lead to an improved knowledge about those states that couple only weakly to the $ \pi N$πN channel. Integrated cross sections were extracted by fitting the differential cross sections for each reaction as a series of Legendre polynomials and our results are compared with prior experimental results and theoretical predictions.

This paper proposes a highly simplified optical voltage sensor by using a piezoelectric bimorph and a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) that can be used for high voltage applications with a relatively good accuracy and stability. In this work the theoretical framework for the whole opto-mechanical operation of the optical sensor is detailed and compared to experimental results. In the analysis, a correction term to the electric field is derived to account for the linear strain distribution across the piezoelectric layer improving the designing equations and giving more criteria for future developments. Finally, some experimental results from a laboratory scale optical-based high voltage sensing setup are discussed, and shown to be in excellent agreement with theoretical expected behavior for different voltage magnitudes.

Recirculation is an important factor in single needle dialysis and, if high, can compromise treatment efficiency. To provide information regarding recirculation characteristics of access devices used in single needle dialysis, we have developed a new technique to characterise recirculation and have used this to measure the recirculation of a Terumo 15G fistula needle and a VasCath SC2300 single lumen catheter. The experimentally obtained results agreed well with those established clinically (8.5 ± 2.4% and 18.4 ± 3.4%). The experimental results have also demonstrated a dependence on access type, pump speeds and fistula flow rate. A comparison of experimental data with theoretical predictions showed that the latter exceeded those measured with the largest contribution being due to the experimental fistula.

The control systems of accommodation and convergence in the human eye are theoretically examined, together with their interactions which represent accommodative convergence and convergence induced accommodation. A control model is proposed in order to help to understand the system, and it is used to make predictions concerning accommodation and convergence placed in conflict, monocular vision, fusional after-effects and the effect of age and drugs on accommodation and accommodative convergence. In each case the theoretical predictions are compared with established experimental results.

This article analyzes concepts of photons and results of old experiments with deflections of light by Sun’s gravity. It is possible to draw a conclusion that experimental results differ from theoretical predictions of both classical and General Relativity theories. In this article was proposed explanation based on alternative potential and the mass of photons.
