Abstract: An active mechanical waveguide including an ultrasonically-transmissive material and a plurality of reflection points defined along a length of the waveguide may be driven at multiple resonant frequencies to sense environmental conditions, e.g., using tracking of a phase derivative. In addition, frequency-dependent reflectors may be incorporated into an active mechanical waveguide, and a drive frequency may be selected to render the frequency-dependent reflectors substantially transparent.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for estimating tension in post-tensioned rods, such as anchor rods that support structural steel to concrete. A method of estimating tension in a target post-tension rod may include selecting a plurality of post-tensioned rods and modeling tension for the plurality of post-tensioned rods as a function of frequency differences between a first and a second modal frequency and cantilever length of each rod. The method may further include measuring the length of a cantilever of the target post-tensioned rod, determining first and second modal frequencies of the target post-tensioned rod, and determining a frequency difference between the first and second modal frequencies. The method may further include estimating tension in the target post-tensioned rod based on at least the model.

Abstract: An optomechanical pressure-measurement system measures pressure in the range of 10−6 Pa-10−2 Pa by measuring various properties of a vibrational mode of an ultra-thin membrane member. With independent measurements of the thickness and density of the membrane, in addition to the measured vibration mode properties, the system can operate as a primary pressure sensor. The membrane member is mounted on a vibration-isolated mount and is excited by a drive force. A laser beam impinges on the excited membrane, and an optical phase detector detects the amplitude of the oscillations, as well as parameters of the laser beam affected by the membrane vibration. In one embodiment, a mechanical damping is computed based on the amplitude or frequency shift (depending on the pressure range), and the pressure based on the ring-down time of the membrane vibration mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load detection unit having a spring-elastic load carrier assembly for receiving the load (10) and a sensor (3) for the deformation of the load carrier assembly, which occurs under the load (10) that is to be detected, wherein a deformation transmission unit (6) is operatively arranged between the load carrier assembly and the sensor (3). A method, in which additionally a deformation transmission unit is used, is thus provided, which during operation picks up the deformation of the load carrier assembly and transmits it to the sensor as a changed force/path load.

Abstract: An input-side control device includes: a feedback controller that generates a first control input signal for eliminating the difference between a model speed signal ωm and a speed detection signal ω by using the signal difference between a higher order torque command signal Tref and an axial torque detection signal Tsh to generate the model speed signal ωm which corresponds to the rotational speed of an inertial body having a set moment of inertia Jset moving under a torque corresponding to the signal difference; a feed-forward controller that generates a second control input signal by multiplying the signal difference by k·Jdy/Jset; and a low-pass filter that generates a torque command signal Tr from a signal obtained by combining the outputs of the controllers and attenuating components at a higher frequency than a cut-off frequency fc set in the vicinity of the resonant frequency.
