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...

concrete bridge deck damage detection by measurement and monitoring variables related to vibration signatures is one of the main tasks of any bridge health monitoring system (bhms). generally damage puts some detectable/discoverable signs in the parameters of bridge vibration behavior. however, differences between frequency and mode shape before and after damage are not remarkable as vibration ...

This article describes the experimental and numerical evaluation of dynamic behaviour Cascalheira bridge, located on Northern Line Portuguese railway network. The bridge has a short span formed by two filler-beam half-decks, each one accommodating track. study includes development finite element model in ANSYS® software, as well situ characterization tests structure, namely ambient vibration te...

Abstract: Modal analysis is a powerful technique for understanding the behavior and performance of structures. Modal analysis can be conducted via artificial excitation, e.g. shaker or instrument hammer excitation. Input force and output responses are measured. That is normally referred to as experimental modal analysis (EMA). EMA consists of three steps: data acquisition, system identificatio...

In this paper, a bidirectional AC DC converter is analyzed. The converter applies a half bridge thyristor rectifier and a recuperating thyristor bridge instead of a braking resistor. Recuperating mode of the converter is focused in the analysis, and it is shown that the converter exposes two operating modes within the recuperating mode, one characterized by negligible, and the other one charact...

In this study, we propose a machine-learning-based approach to identify the modal parameters of output-only data for structural health monitoring (SHM) that makes full use characteristic independence responses and principle machine learning. By taking advantage independent feature each mode, unsupervised learning, turning training process neural network into separation. A self-coding is designe...

Conventional extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanical ventilation have both been identified as significant risk factors for post-lung transplant mortality when applied as a bridge to lung transplantation. We have previously described the successful use of the extracorporeal membrane ventilator Novalung as a bridge to lung transplantation in patients with severe hypercapnia and respira...

This study investigates the mode identifiability of a multi-span cable-stayed bridge in terms of a benchmark study utilizing stabilization diagrams of system model identified by means of the stochastic subspace identification (SSI). The cumulative contribution ratios (CCR) estimated from singular values of system model was also considered. Observations demonstrated that wind speed might influen...

This paper describes modal testing of a wooden baseball bat with the purpose of finding the peak frequencies and vibration modes and their relation to the so-called “sweet spot”. Initial vibration testing was done by performing a tap test along a Louisville Slugger wooden baseball bat. The bat was suspended by elastic rubber bands to approximate free-free boundary conditions. The peak frequenci...

A bridge is an essential component of transportation networks and plays a crucial role in the operation infrastructure, so maintaining this structure to guarantee regular bridges healthy condition needed. The establishment model numerically critical step evaluation because many cases test can be done numerically. generated results then verified adjusted with real or full-scale test. This resear...
