LVDT stands for Linear Variable Differential Transformer or Transducer.
• It is passive transducer which measures linear displacement. It produces variable AC voltage which represents physical position of object connected to it.
• In simple form, it uses one primary energized by AC voltage and two secondary coils (having equal number of turns) wound around hollow tube. Movable soft iron core is placed between primary and secondary coils.
When alternating current is connected to primary coil, magnetic field expands and contracts around the coil.
• When the field is strong and large enough it cuts the secondary coil and induces voltage. Induced Voltage at secondary is in phase with applied voltage at primary coil. • Each secondary coil produces separate voltage.
The LVDT will not be effective for measuring the vibration of the thicker beam, because the vibrations will be very less pronounced with the stiffer beam. This would lead to a much smaller amplitude which will be difficult to detect, and with the bias error the accuracy will be reduced.
In real world applications the LVDT will be less accurate at measuring the damping ratio and natural frequency because outside forces such as wind have an effect on the vibrations being measured that could cause large errors in the data.
Some other limitations are-
Large displacement is needed for small output.
It is affected due to external magnetic field and hence the entire LVDT circuit need to be shielded to achieve desired accuracy.
Vibrations due to displacement can affect the performance of the LVDT device.
The performance of LVDT is affected due to increase in temperature.
In order to get DC output, external demodulator is required.
It has limited dynamic response.

What instructional methods have you used that have been effective with patients? Are there other methods you think might be more effective? Would you use particular materials to enhance learning?
What would be the effective rate of protection on bicycles in China if China places a 30 percent tariff on bicycles, which have a world price of $210, and no tariff on bike components, which together have a world price of $110? The effective rate of protection (ERP) is percent. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
if the air in the room had been warmer, would the level of the water have been higher or lower when the resonance occurred? justify your answer.

Does Nucor have a source of sustainable competitive advantage? If so, what is it? Justify your answer using the criteria for a resource or capability to be a source of SCA and the criteria for inimitability. If not, how do you explain why competitors have not been able to duplicate Nucor’s resources and achieve the same level of performance?
Congratulations! You have just been appointed to your city’s council. You discover that a hot topic soon to be presented to the council is the construction of a convention center. Your initial research shows that several midsized cities are considering the convention center as a way to increase economic activity, including job creation. The challenge these cities face is how to finance the convention center; projected costs are RM100 million. Voters may resist a ballot to increase local taxes (either...
Most if not all of you have been previously introduced to The Theory of Constraints and have read “The Goal” . It is an “older” book but TOC has stood the test of time. It is a fairly easy read but you can see the chapter summaries and view the summary on what TOC is to gain enough understanding to complete this assignment. I want you to consider your place of work (or a past employer) or if you have...
