Engineering design is often largely about the tradeoffs among the approaches to solving various challenges while meeting overall project objectives. These tradeoffs may be global such as balancing ...

Awhile back I published a simple design idea for a thermal airspeed sensor based on a self-heated Darlington transistor pair. The resulting sensor is simple, sensitive, and solid-state, but suffers ...

The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

Consider the single-DOF problem of a thin bar pinned to ground with a constant horizontal force F acting at the free end of the bar. This says that for a small perturbation about the equilibrium state ...
