Vibration is one of the major drawbacks of Linear Switched Reluctance Motor (LSRM). Two design techniques to reduce vibration in the LSRM are proposed. A detailed mathematical approach for calculating natural frequency has been outlined. Different techniques to predict the vibration frequencies are analyzed using ANSYS software. The analyzed structures are compared by using experimental and sim...

Linear vibration absorbers are a valuable tool used to suppress vibrations due to harmonic excitation in structural systems. Limited evaluation of the performance of nonlinear vibration absorbers for nonlinear structures exists in the current literature. The state of the art is extended in this work to vibration absorbers in their three major physical implementations: the mechanical vibration a...

In this study, the free vibration analysis of smart vibration control (SVC) systems based on Reddy – Levinson model and modified strain gradient theory is developed. This system consist of a micro beam at middle and two magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite micro beams at top and bottom which connected by enclosing elastic medium and simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. The effects ...

The structural health monitoring system (SHMS) provides an effective tool to conduct full-scale measurements on existing bridges for essential research on bridge wind engineering. In July 2008, Typhoon Fung-Wong lashed China and hit Sutong cable-stayed bridge (SCB) in China. During typhoon period, full-scale measurements were conducted to record the wind data and the structural vibration respon...

A finite element model was developed to simulate the vibratory stress relief after welding. Both resonant and nonresonant vibrations can relieve residual stresses in welded structures by creating plastic deformation around the weld area. For the non-resonant vibration, the stress reduction strongly depends on the vibration amplitude. For the resonant vibration, the vibration frequency is the ke...

The task of identifying damage to the load-bearing beams large-span bridge structures using vibration diagnostic methods has been implemented, taking into account experimental uncertainties associated with natural phenomena and technological processes. methodology for localizing is based on analysis dynamic characteristics structure, such as frequencies modes vibration. study presents research ...

The Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) effect refers to a special vibration damping technique adapted thin-walled structures such as beams or plates. It usually consists of local decrease the structure thickness profile, associated thin viscoelastic coating placed in area minimum thickness. has been shown that structural design acts an efficient damper high frequency range, but not at low frequencies.
