Damping Forces in Ship Vibration

Robot Vibration Control Using Inertial Damping Forces

Ship roll damping control

The technical feasibility of roll motion control devices has been amply demonstrated for over 100 years. Performance, however, can still fall short of expectations because of difficulties associated with control system designs, which have proven to be far from trivial due to fundamental performance limitations and large variations of the spectral characteristics of wave-induced roll motion. Thi...

Damping Models for Structural Vibration

This dissertation reports a systematic study on analysis and identification of multiple parameter damped mechanical systems. The attention is focused on viscously and non-viscously damped multiple degree-offreedom linear vibrating systems. The non-viscous damping model is such that the damping forces depend on the past history of motion via convolution integrals over some kernel functions. The ...

Viscous damping identification in linear vibration

Parametric identification of viscous damping models in the context of linear vibration theory is studied. Frequency domain identification methods based on measured frequency response functions (FRFs) are considered. Existing methods are classified into two main groups: matrix methods which use directly the measured FRF matrix, and modal methods which use modal parameters deduced from the FRFs. ...
