Executive Summary of Findings This document contains review of literature on the effects of vibration on human performance. It is intended to address the issues relevant to reported difficulties in the use of the XM4 Command and Control Vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. The focus of this review is on the effects of vibration on visual task, with additional consideration given to manual ta...

To process the vibration signal fault diagnosis automatically and effectively, a method to calculate the generalized fractal dimension (Dq) based on the traditional G-P correlation dimension algorithm is presented. First, the vibration signal, a kind of random fractal that meets the statistical self-similarity, is reconstructed according to the phase space reconstruction theory. Second, for var...

Piezoelectric materials can be used as actuators for the active vibration control of smart structural systems. In this work, piezoelectric patches are surface bonded to a composite laminate plate and used as vibration actuators. A static analysis based on the piezoelectricity and elasticity is conducted to evaluate the loads induced by the piezoelectric actuators to the host structure. The load...

An underwater robot is one of the important ocean equipment, and especially its stealth performance has influenced on the vitality in naval warfare. Structure radiation noise as the main source of underwater robot noise, so analysis on vibration and noise radiation is a topic of great concern. The way is used widely that based on fluid-solid coupling modal analysis combined with simulation on v...

this study involved the development and evaluation of a new filtering technique, as based on adaptive free mass load cell. the technique's application in reduction of vibration and impulse noise (commonly added to the sugar cane harvester yield monitoring signals) was tested. this technique is based upon assimilate spring- mass vibration system of weighing scale with a free mass load cell ...

In our previous study, the requirements for designing perceptual vibration patterns for older adults were investigated and proposed. Based on this knowledge, the requirements for designing memorable vibration patterns such as a rhythmical vibration pattern called “vibration rhythm” were proposed. However, almost all participants, regardless of their ages, could only recognize a few vibration pa...

this research is carried out to design and manufacturing of lathe vibration tool and their tests. firstly, one-dimensional vibration tool is designed and made of the bending vibration mode. one-dimensional vibration tool with half piezoelectric rings is considered to excite the bending mode of tool. structure of vibration tool is designed in abaqus software about 20 khz and then is made with re...

Vibration-based condition monitoring and fault diagnosis is an effective approach to maintain the reliable operation of a scroll compressor. Unfortunately, the vibration signal from the scroll compressor always has characteristics of being non-linear and non-stationary, which makes vibration signal analysis and fault feature extraction very difficult. To extract the significant fault features, ...

Due to the periodic movement of the piston in the reciprocating pump, the fluid will cause 8 pressure pulsation, and the vibration of the pipeline will lead to instrument distortion, pipe failure 9 and equipment damage. Therefore, it is necessary to study the vibration phenomena of the 10 reciprocating pump pipeline based on the pressure pulsation theory. This paper starts from the 11 reciproca...

A tremendous amount of research has been performed on the design and analysis of vibration energy harvester architectures with the goal of optimizing power output; most studies assume idealized input vibrations without paying much attention to whether such idealizations are broadly representative of real sources. These “idealized input signals” are typically derived from the expected nature of ...
