Dynamics studies how mechanical systems respond to time-varying forces, ranging from the simple oscillation of a mass on a spring to complex interactions in rotating machines, fluid-structure systems ...

Dynamic modelling and vibration control in washing machines address the interplay between machine components, load distribution and operational stability. At the heart of these efforts lies the ...

Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of the quantum interactions that take place in materials. In new work, the group ...
