(a) Temporal evolution of the small solenoid current (Ical: solid black line), the force (solid red line) measured by the load cell, and the displacement signal from the LED sensor (dashed blue line). (b) The relation between the horizontal force imparted to the target structure and the displacement (red dots), together with a fitted line (solid blue line) giving the calibration coefficient.
