An electric spring (ES) with series connection to non-critical loads (NCLs) is mainly known as a smart load (SL) technology that can compensate undervoltages and overvoltages. In this paper, an improved control method presented for the regulate effective value of critical (CL) voltage nominal harmonics caused by grid side. The spring’s performance simultaneous magnitude regulation harmonic dist...

this study involved the development and evaluation of a new filtering technique, as based on adaptive free mass load cell. the technique's application in reduction of vibration and impulse noise (commonly added to the sugar cane harvester yield monitoring signals) was tested. this technique is based upon assimilate spring- mass vibration system of weighing scale with a free mass load cell ...

ABSTRACT Many studies have been focused on the development of vibration source models, which comprise both the force applied on the track top and the vibration behaviour of the fixation system. Numerous researchers model the interaction between wheel and rail as a constant load moving along the track. Other authors consider a combination of harmonic and non-harmonic moving axle loads. Whereas m...

Useful lifetime evaluation of chevron rubber spring was very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. It is, therefore, necessary to establish a suitable criterion for the replacement period of chevron rubber spring. In this study, we performed characteristic analysis and useful lifetime prediction of chevron rubber spring. Rubber material coefficient was obtained by ...

An analytical solution of steady-state dynamic response of a multilayered viscoelastic medium to a moving distributed load is obtained using a novel approach that combines transfer matrix method with Sun’s convolution representation integrated over impulse response function of the layered medium. The layered media under consideration include elastic and viscoelastic media with four different vi...

In modern master slave system, which have computer mediator between the two sides, the mediator computer faces high and non deterministic computational load arising from complex problem of computing instantaneous physical distances of moving robot from the modeled objects in the workspace. The problem is acute for mediators that work in pre-contact state where tool-tip is in close vicinity to o...

This paper presents an application of a robust adaptive control strategy to HexaSlide type six degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulators . The HexaSlide type parallel manipulators are characterized as an architecture with constant link lengths that are attached to moving sliders on the ground and to a mobile platform. The proposed control law is developed based on a simplified second order syste...

This Letter deals with an analysis of bending edge waves propagating along the free edge of a Kirchhoff plate supported by a Winkler foundation. The presence of a foundation leads to a non-zero cut-off frequency for this wave, along with a local minimum of the associated phase velocity. This minimum phase velocity corresponds to a critical speed of an edge moving load and is analogous to that i...

This study describes the effects of bounce, brake, and roll behavior of a bus toward its leaf spring suspension systems. Parabolic leaf springs are designed based on vertical deflection and stress; however, loads are practically derived from various modes especially under harsh road drives or emergency braking. Parabolic leaf springs must sustain these loads without failing to ensure bus and pa...

Vibration of double-graphene sheet-system is considered in this study. Graphene sheets are coupled by Pasternak elastic medium. Classic and Mindlin plate theories are utilized for modeling the coupled system. Upper sheet carries a moving mass. Governing equations are derived using energy method and Hamilton’s principle considering surface stress effects and nonlocal parameter.  Using Galerkin m...
