Viscous damping of perforated planar micromechanical structures.
The paper gives an analytical approximation to the viscous damping coefficient due to the motion of a gas between a pair of closely spaced fluctuating plates in which one of the plates contains a regular system of circular holes. These types of structures are important parts of many microelectromechanical devices realized in MEMS technology as microphones, microaccelerometers, resonators, etc.T...
متن کاملViscous Damping of Alfvenic Turbulence in Plasmas
We consider viscous damping of both strong and weak Alfvenic turbulence in fully ionized plasmas. We find that the damping is affected by the wandering of magnetic field lines, which makes the effective viscosity scale-dependent. We show that the strong turbulence cascade gets into the viscosity-damped regime at the scale that is larger than the ion mean free path by a ratio of thermal to Alfve...
متن کاملViscous vs. Structural Damping in Modal Analysis
It is shown that among the various damping mechanisms that are generally encountered in a mechanical structure, only the “viscous component” actually accounts for energy loss. The remaining portion of the damping force is due to non-linearities, which do not dissipate energy. Consequently, a linear model of a vibratory mechanical system involves only viscous damping, although the damping factor...
متن کاملViscous 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. ...
متن کاملViscous cavity damping of a microlever in a simple fluid.
We consider the problem of oscillation damping in air of a thermally actuated microlever as it gradually approaches an infinite wall in parallel geometry. As the gap is decreased from 20 microm down to 400 nm, we observe the increasing damping of the lever Brownian motion in the fluid laminar regime. This manifests itself as a linear decrease in the lever quality factor accompanied by a dramati...
