The new techniques in seismic design of structures are usually attributed to high damping ratios. In such systems, the assumption of classical (i.e. proportional) damping is not valid and in most cases they should be considered as Non-classical systems. Since the analytical tools for studying the behavior of such structures are not easily available, the present work attempts to find the limits,...

in this paper, we present an analytical method for solving a well-posed boundary value problem of mathematical physics governing the vibration characteristics of an internal flow propelled fluid-structure interaction where the pipeline segment is idealized as an elastic hollow beam conveying an incompressible fluid on a viscoelastic foundation. the effect of coriolis and damping forces on the o...

utilizing polymeric materials for damping mechanical waves is of great importance in various fields of applications such as military camouflage, prevention of structural vibrational energy transfer, and noise attenuation. this ability originates from segmental dynamics of chain-like polymer molecules. damping properties of styrene-butadiene rubbercontaining 10 wt% of monosize polystyrene partic...

Piezoelectric elements are widely used for damping micro-vibrations in mechanical structures. Active damping can be realised robustly by means of collocated actuator-sensor-pairs, controlled so as to extract vibration energy. Excellent damping performance is possible as long as sufficient controllability is assured. Passive damping based on a single piezoelectric element can be realised by the ...

We present the first accurate damping profiles acquired in atomic-resolution hydration force spectroscopy, revealing a monotonic damping profile at the nanoscopic tip apex. Atomic resolution is confirmed by the observed inhomogeneity caused by random substitution of Si by Al on the mica surface, and two distinct damping regimes are identified. Damping only appears above our detection limit of 1...

This paper presents a new approach for determining the effective control signals for damping of oscillations by performance comparison of Unified Power Flow Controller in coordination with Power Oscillation Damping Controller and Power System Stabilizer. For the analysis Modified Phllips-Heffron Model of Single Machine Infinite Bus system is established with Unified Power Flow Controller. Impac...

-This paper presents a systematic approach for designing Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) based damping controllers for damping low frequency oscillations in a power system. Detailed investigations have been carried out considering four alternative UPFC based damping controllers. The investigations reveal that the damping controllers based on UPFC control parameters δE and δB provide robust...

Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental study of pneumatic damping behaviour for the valves in the reciprocating compressor, this paper presents a simple mathematical model of pneumatic damping valves, in which the non-viscous damping force is introduced. The non-viscous damping coefficient is obtained by the experimental determination. The simulation results of this simple model for...

There are in the literature several theories to explain the mass loss in stellar winds. In particular, for late-type stars, some authors have proposed a wind model driven by an outwarddirected flux of damped Alfvén waves. The winds of these stars present great amounts of dust particles which, if charged, can give rise to new wave modes or modify the pre-existing ones. In this work, we study how...

The BGP routing protocol uses a mechanism called Route Flap Damping [13] to limit the impact of connectivity instability to any individual sites. Although it is believed that this damping mechanism contributes to the stability of global Internet routing, the exact effects of damping has not been thoroughly examined in a large scale network setting. Previous work [8] has shown that damping can b...
