We have designed, fabricated, and characterized metamaterial enhanced bimaterial cantilever pixels for far-infrared detection. Local heating due to absorption from split ring resonators (SRRs) incorporated directly onto the cantilever pixels leads to mechanical deflection which is readily detected with visible light. Highly responsive pixels have been fabricated for detection at 95 GHz and 693 GHz, demonstrating the frequency agility of our technique. We have obtained single pixel responsivities as high as 16,500 V/W and noise equivalent powers of 10(-8) W/Hz(1/2) with these first-generation devices.

As a non-contact method, vision-based measurement for vibration extraction and modal parameter identification has attracted much attention. In most cases, artificial textures are crucial elements for visual tracking, and this feature limits the application of vision-based vibration measurement on textureless targets. As a computation technique for visualizing subtle variations in videos, the video magnification technique can analyze modal responses and visualize modal shapes, but the efficiency is low, and the processing results contain clipping artifacts.

Accelerometers are commonly used to measure vibrations for condition monitoring in mechanical and civil structures; however, their high cost and point-based measurement approach present practical limitations. With rapid advancements in computer vision and deep learning, research into tracking the motion of individual pixels with vision cameras has increased. The recently developed CoTracker, a transformer-based model, has demonstrated excellence in motion tracking, yet its performance in measuring structural vibrations has not been fully explored.

The scanning frequencies have a very important effect on the quality of the resulting Lissajous scanning imaging. In this paper, we propose a frequency selection rule for high definition and high frame-rate (HDHF) Lissajous scanning imaging, by deriving the relationship among the scanning field of view (FOV), actuation frequencies and pixel size based on the characteristics of the scanning trajectory.

The non-linear contact model was chosen to simulate a closed crack in a cantilever beam. This study examines the shape and characteristics of the phase diagram of a cantilever beam with closed cracks. It investigates how various crack properties influence the geometry of the phase diagram and proposes a method for identifying cracks based on their features.

Due to a lack of requirement for any direct labelling of the target molecule, high speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is a potentially powerful procedure for the assessment of biological processes involving macromolecules. When the sample is static the AFM device can be purposefully setup to recover high-resolution information about the feature in question. However, when the feature to be studied moves an appreciable amount during the course of the measurement, the obtained image will be blurred.
