This paper presents a solution to the boundary stabilization of a symmetric composite laminated plate in free transverse vibration. The symmetric composite laminated plate dynamics is presented by a linear fourth order partial differential equation (PDE). A linear control law is constructed to stabilize the plate. The control force consists of feedback of the velocity at the boundary of the pla...

In this research, a control feedback system is used to study the free vibration response of rectangular plate made of magnetostrictive material (MsM) for the first time. A new trigonometric higher order shear deformation plate theory are utilized and the results of them are compared with two theories in order to clarify their accuracy and errors. Pasternak foundation is selected to modelling of...

Problem statement: Rectangular steel plates are widely used in various steel structures and steel industries. For a proper design of steel plate structures and efficient use of material, the behavior, strength, buckling and post-buckling characteristics of plates should be accurately determined.

Ultrasonic complex vibration welding of same and different metal specimens and structures of the welded area are studied using several complex vibration welding systems, scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM and TEM). Ultrasonic welding can weld various metal directly using vibration and static clamping pressure. The welding area is limited very narrow layer and can weld different...

In this study, vibration of initially imperfect cracked thick plate has been investigated using the differential quadrature method. The crack modeled as an open crack using a no-mass linear spring. The governing equations of vibration of a cracked plate are derived using the Mindlin theory and considering the effect of initial imperfection in Von-Karman equations. Differential equations are dis...

This paper describes a diagnostic system for processing high-bandwidth vibration data from distributed sensors for monitoring and diagnosis of electromechanical machines. The system employs time-frequency and principal component analysis techniques to extract and compress features and a Bayesian decision analysis to combine and classify data from multiple sources. Experimental multi-sensor diag...

In this paper a variationally consistent trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for the free vibration of thick isotropic square and rectangular plate. In this displacement based theory, the in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The cosine function in terms of thickness coordinate is used in tr...

A nonlinear optimal control method is developed for magnetostrictive actuators used to actively attenuate plate vibration. Significant improvements in vibration control can be achieved when the magnetostrictive actuators are driven at moderate to high field levels. This results in nonlinearity and hysteresis which cannot be effectively compensated using linear control theory. This issue is addr...

A vibration based damage identification method is investigated experimentally. The dynamic response of an intact and a locally damaged 16–layer unidirectional carbon fibre PEKK reinforced plate structure with two stiffener sections is considered. A forced–vibration set–up, including a laser vibrometer system, is employed to measure the dynamic behaviour. The feasibility of the two–dimensional M...
