Pivot Bearings for Efficient Torsional Magneto-Mechanical Resonators
Chengzhang Li, Ali Kanj, Jiheng Jing +2
Rotating magnets have recently emerged as an efficient method for producing ultra-low frequency signals for through-earth and through-seawater communications. Magneto-mechanical re…
Buckling-induced transmission switching in phononic waveguides in the presence of disorder
Ali Kanj, Alexander F. Vakakis, Sameh Tawfick
On-chip phononic circuits tailor the transmission of elastic waves, which can couple to electronic and photonic systems, enabling new signal manipulation capabilities. Phononic cir…
Ultra-tuning of nonlinear drumhead MEMS resonators by electro-thermoelastic buckling
Ali Kanj, Paolo F. Ferrari, Arend M. van der Zande +2
Nonlinear micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) resonators open new opportunities in sensing and signal manipulation compared to their linear counterparts by enabling frequency t…
Design, Dynamics, and Dissipation of a Torsional-Magnetic Spring Mechanism
Ali Kanj, Rhinithaa P. Thanalakshme, Chengzhang Li +3
We present an analytical and experimental study of torsional magnetic mechanism where the restoring torque is due to magnetic field interactions between rotating and fixed permanen…
Magneto-Mechanical Transmitters for Ultra-Low Frequency Near-field Communication
Rhinithaa P. Thanalakshme, Ali Kanj, JunHwan Kim +6
Electromagnetic signals in the ultra-low frequency (ULF) range below 3 kHz are well suited for underwater and underground wireless communication thanks to low signal attenuation an…
Self Sustained Thermally Induced Gas-Damped Oscillations of Bimetal Cantilevers with Application to the Design of a New Pyroelectric Micro Energy Harvester
Tarek Gebrael, Ali Kanj, Daniel Farhat +2
Low efficiency is the main drawback of many MEMS thermal energy harvesters. Recently, energy harvesting micro-devices that operate using the pyroelectric effect gained attention du…
