The common house spider, Achaearanea tepidariorum, has a sensitive vibration receptor in each of its eight legs. The receptor has been shown to respond to air-borne sound as well as to direct vibration (Walcott & Van der Kloot, 1959). But for a spider on its web a more usual source of information about the outside world comes from vibrations of the web strands themselves. What is the response o...

According to the structure characteristics of railway viaduct with light floating slabs, a frequency domain dynamic model of the vehicle-light floating slab track-viaduct bridge vertical coupling system is established. The Green functions are used to quickly calculate the receptance response of the system, and then the pseudo excitation method is used to further analyze the parameter influences...

Excessive vibration can be detrimental to the structural integrity of structures or can adversely affect the performance of instruments such as telescopes or antennas. One field in Structural Dynamics is the design and application of systems that reduce the amplitude and duration of vibration. There are two types of vibration suppression systems: passive and active. Passive means that the dampi...

Micro-milling tools are usually used for the 3D precision processing of micro metal parts under ultra-high speed. However, due to structural characteristics small scale, variable cross-section, and weak stiffness, vibration micro-milling is easily mutates, which can potential cause great harm stability machining accuracy machine tools. To reveal transfer law tool vibration, guiding method selec...

In this study, the free vibration behavior of rotating nanobeam is studied. Surface effects on the vibration frequencies of nanobeam are considered. To incorporate surface effects, Gurtin–Murdoch model is proposed to satisfy the surface balance equations of the continuum surface elasticity. Differential quadrature method is employed and in order to establish the accuracy and applicability of th...
