Application of flexible structures has been significantly, increased in industry and aerospace missions due to their contributions and unique advantages over the rigid counterparts. In this paper, vibration analysis of a flexible structure i.e., automobile wiper blade is investigated and controlled. The wiper generates unwanted noise and vibration during the wiping the rain and other particles ...

This article represents experimental study work carried out on a single stage diffuser type centrifugal pump. The flow-induced pressure pulsations, mechanical vibrations and noise has been monitored during the experimentations for five different flow rates by varying the radial clearance. For each case of radial clearance and flow conditions, overall levels and frequency spectra, in a wide freq...

In recent years, as the weight of IT equipment has been reduced, the demand for motor fans for cooling the interior of electronic equipment is on the rise. Sensory test technique by inspectors is the mainstream for quality inspection of motor fans in the field. This sensory test requires a lot of experience to accurately diagnose differences in subtle sounds (sound pressures) of the fans, and t...

Active Gurney flaps, or microflaps, are studied to determine their effectiveness in reducing noise and vibration in rotorcraft, as well as improving rotor performance. The effectiveness of the microflap is examined using a comprehensive rotorcraft simulation code. The aerodynamic properties of the microflap is modeled using a nonlinear CFD based reduced order aerodynamic model that takes into a...
