news & views librational modes) and thus changing how the sub-surface vibration couples with the surroundings. Common methods of optimizing the water-photolysis reaction conditions involve altering both the underlying semiconductor (through doping) and the electrolyte composition. This new vibrational mode could help to better understand the process on the molecular level, rather than relying o...

in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

In order to detect coal gangue interface on fully mechanized mining face, a new method of vibration signal analysis of coal and gangue based on Hilbert-Huang transform is presented in this paper. At first Empirical mode decomposition algorithm was used to decompose the original vibration signal of coal and gangue into intrinsic modes for further extract meaningful information contained in respo...

Time-varying vocal folds vibration information is of crucial importance in speech processing, and the traditional devices to acquire speech signals are easily smeared by the high background noise and voice interference. In this paper, we present a non-acoustic way to capture the human vocal folds vibration using a 24-GHz portable auditory radar. Since the vocal folds vibration only reaches seve...

-In the previous paper, the use of matrix iteration to determine the natural frequencies of vibration of continuous beam system using the concept of wave propagation in a prismatic bar is reported. The natural frequencies of vibration obtained from the formulated model were compared with the values obtained from literature and those of the exact solution. An error of 28% and 30% was observed wh...

1. Introduction During recent years the speed-gradient algorithms developed in control engineering area [1,2] have been applied intensively to control of oscillatory motion and particularly to control of vibration units. Among problems solved by speed-gradient approach are control of vibration units in start-up modes (swing-up and passage through resonance) [ 3-5], synchronization [6-8], etc. O...

The main objective of this research work is to find the natural frequency and mode shape of truck transmission housing. Truck transmission housing or gearbox transmission casing is subjected to vibration induced by the excitation forces transmitted to the casing through bearings. So it is required to find the natural frequency for the accurate prediction of housing life and prevent it from frac...

The free and forced in-plane vibrations of axially moving plates are investigated in this work. The plate possesses an internal damping of which the constitutive relation obeys the Kelvin-Voigt model, and the excitations are arbitrarily distributed on two opposite edges. First, the equations of motion and the boundary conditions of the axially moving plate are derived. Then, the extended Ritz m...

A quasi three-dimensional numerical model is developed to study vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of two tandem flexible circular cylinders. In this model, the whole cylinder is divided into many sections along its length. The hydrodynamics of each section are represented by the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The dynamic response of the flexible cylinder is predicted by t...

(1996) Vibration modes and acoustic noise in a four-phase switched reluctance motor. Abstruct-Acoustic noise in the switched reluctance motor (SRM) is caused primarily by the deformation of the stator lamination stack. Acoustic noise is most severe when the periodic excitation of the SRM phases excites a natural vibration mode of the stack. The natural vibration modes and frequencies of a four-...
