Volume and Frequency-Independent Spreading of Droplets Driven by Ultrasonic Surface Vibration
Many industrial processes depend on the wetting of liquids on various surfaces. Understanding the wetting effects due to ultrasonic vibration could provide a means for changing the behavior of liquids on any surface.

Temporal coherency of mechanical stimuli modulates tactile form perception
The human hand can detect both form and texture information of a contact surface. The detection of skin displacement (sustained stimulus) and changes in skin displacement (transient stimulus) are thought to be mediated in different tactile channels ...

Joint mobility changes due to low frequency vibration and stretching exercise [PDF]
It has been shown that fifteen minutes of locally applied cycloid vibration of low amplitude and frequency is equally as effective as a fifteen minute programme of flexibility exercises in increasing short term mobility of the hip flexors. It is suggested that this mobility change may occur as a result of improved muscle relaxation.

Experiments and Simulations on Vibration Induced Densification of Bulk Solids
The change in bulk density or solids fraction that occurs when a vessel of granular materials is vibrated is an important, industrially-relevant process.

Effects of change in Frequency of Ultrasonic Vibrations on Heat Transfer.
The heat transfer coefficients during natural convection of water on a downward-facing horizontal surface and that on a vertical surface were measured under the influence of ultrasonic vibrations. The multi-type oscillation used in this experiment was able to operate at three frequencies-28, 45, and 100 kHz-not only continuously, but also ...

Effect of Low-magnitude, High-frequency Vibration on Osteocytes in the Regulation of Osteoclasts [PDF]
Osteocytes are well evidenced to be the major mechanosensor in bone, responsible for sending signals to the effector cells (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) that carry out bone formation and resorption. Consistent with this hypothesis, it has been shown that

Tactile vibration: Change of exponent with frequency [PDF]
When cross-modality matches were made between a 60-Hz vibration and such other continua as electric current through the finger, number, force of handgrip, and both binaural and monaural loudness, the exponent of the power function for vibration was found to be about 1.0 at 60 Hz.

Role of vibrations in the jamming and unjamming of grains discharging from a silo [PDF]
We present experimental results of the jamming of non-cohesive particles discharged from a flat bottomed silo subjected to vertical vibration. When the exit orifice is only a few grain diameter wide, the flow can be arrested due to the formation of ...

THEOREM ABOUT THE CHANGE OF RESONANCE FREQUENCIES OF VIBRATIONS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WITH FRICTION
Існують маловивчені явища, що призводять до експлуатаційних пошкоджень вузлів та деталей машин, серед яких найбільш небезпечними є тертя, знос і динамічна втому. Вони відносяться до механічних систем, елементи яких пов'язані між собою силами сухого тертя, які широко поширені в техніці, особливо у вузлах контактування елементів з тертям.
