Force-induced calcium concentration change and focal adhesion translocation : effects of force amplitude and frequency
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Vascular endothelial cells rapidly sense and transduce external forces into biological signals through a process known as mechanotransduction. Numerous biological processes are involved in mechanotransduction, including ... -
Force-mediated adhesion strengthening in endothelial cells at adherens junctions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Cells respond to the application of force with a variety of biochemical responses modulating their shape, structure, function, and proliferation. Two force-responsive links between the inside and outside of a cell are ... -
Force-modulated growth of carbon nanotube forests
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can have exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical behavior, but successful use of CNTs in macroscale materials requires scalable processes to organize CNTs while preserving their intrinsic ... -
Force-sensing foot design and control for reflexive balance control of biped robots
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this work a force-sensing foot was designed and verified through balancing an inverted pendulum on an inclined plane. Its design, development, and verification are motivated by the stability needs of external robotic ... -
Forced convective heat transfer to supercritical water in micro-rocket cooling passages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)An investigation of heat transfer to supercritical fluids in micro-channels was completed to assess the cooling characteristics of the MIT micro-rocket engine. Previous results from supercritical ethanol heat transfer tests ... -
Forced oscillations of electromagnetic cavity resonators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1941) -
Forced Response Measurements of Cavitation Dynamics in a Rocket Engine Turbopump Inducer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)Cavitation is a serious concern in liquid fueled launch vehicle propulsion systems which operate at high speeds to meet the engine thrust requirements. There are several types of cavitation instabilities, but of concern ... -
Forced response of a centrifugal compressor stage due to the impeller-diffuser interaction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The unsteady pressure field experienced by a centrifugal compressor stage can be dominated by of the impeller-diffuser interaction. The energy of the unsteady field, under certain aerodynamic and structural conditions, is ... -
Forced response predictions in modern centrifugal compressor design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A computational interrogation of the time-averaged and time-unsteady flow fields of two centrifugal compressors of nearly identical design (the enhanced, which encountered aeromechanical difficulty, and production, which ... -
Forced Response System Identification of Full Aero-Engine Rotordynamic Systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)A new class of rotordynamic challenges have surfaced in advanced turbofan engine designs where there are opportunities for dynamical coupling between rotor shafts and support structures, requiring entire system-level ... -
Forced response system identification of gas turbine fan flutter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Flutter in aero-engine fans continues to present major safety concerns and cost millions of dollars in maintenance from high-cycle fatigue. New technologies to improve safety and reduce cost require knowledge of damping ... -
Forced vibration in systems with elastically supported dampers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1957) -
Forced vibrations of circular foundations on layered media.

Forces and gauge groups beyond the standard model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 completed the particle content of the Standard Model, but brought into sharp relief two outstanding problems: why is the Higgs so light, and what is the identity of 80% of the matter ... -
Forces and moments due to unsteady motion of an underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This research examines the effect of unsteady motion on the forces and moments experienced by an underwater vehicle in shallow water. The test platform is the REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle developed by the Woods Hole ...
