I see this problem all the time. The idea that if you apply a constant force on an object, it should move at a constant speed. Really, this is what Aristotle would say, right? There are two course ...

Compliant constant‐force mechanisms represent an innovative class of devices engineered to provide a near‐invariable output force over a defined range of motion. By exploiting the elastic deformation ...

Your everyday notion of forces probably includes pushing and pulling and similar actions. Technically, when something is pushed or pulled we say that "a force is applied to the object". What happens ...

Smooth motion is key to precision; Here are some tips on how to get it. Precision-positioning systems used for metrology, inspection, printing, DNA assaying, and laser machining are typified by a need ...

Everything in life runs better when it's constant. Daily activities are completed with ease if things in our lives remain steady, as jerky or erratic changes tend to disrupt our flow. The expression ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.
