The phrase "actuation factor" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to engineering, mechanics, or systems where a specific factor influences the actuation of a device or system.
Example: "The actuation factor of the hydraulic system determines how effectively it responds to input signals."
Alternatives: "activation coefficient" or "actuation ratio".
This paper presents modal sensitivity factors, actuation factors and controlled damping ratio for segmented distributed piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers laminated on simply supported thick rectangular plates and circular cylindrical shells made of cross-ply composite laminate.
The contribution of the membrane and bending strains to sensitivity and actuation factors is computed for plates and shells for the lowest mode and a few higher modes.
Analytical expressions for modal membrane and bending sensitivity factors, membrane and bending actuation factors and controlled damping ratio are developed for cylindrical shells using FSDT and classical lamination theory.
A parametric study is presented here for the modal sensitivity and actuation factors and controlled damping ratio for the rectangularly segmented distributed piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers laminated on simply supported thick rectangular plates and circular cylindrical shells made of cross ply composite laminate.
The influences of four factors: actuation stroke length, actuation velocity, concentration of gelling agent, and concentration of surfactant, were investigated.
In this study, four input factors, actuation stroke length, actuation velocity, concentration of gelling agent, and concentration of surfactant were investigated for their influences on measured responses of spray pattern, plume width, droplet size distribution (DSD), and impaction force.
Four factors, actuation stroke length, actuation velocity, concentration of gelling agent, and concentration of surfactant were investigated for their influences on measured responses of shot weight, spray pattern, plume geometry and droplet size distribution (DSD).
Experimental test results for depth control are also given and demonstrate that physically relevant constraints on the thrust and actuation power, critical factors for the use of these vehicles, can be achieved.
The data imply that twin-boundary velocity is not the limiting factor on actuation performance.
Commercial lawn mowers expose operators to these factors during actuation of hand controls and therefore may be a health concern.
