Considering the impact of the nonlinear stiffness, a 2 DOF dynamic nonlinear vibration model with cubic terms was established according to the structural feature and nonlinear behavior of the tracked ambulance. In the case of primary resonance and 1: 1 internal resonance, multiple scale method was used to obtain a first-order approximate solution for this model. Taking the parameters of the tra...

Passive shunt damping involves the connection of an electrical shunt network to a structurally attached piezoelectric transducer. In recent years, a large body of research has focused on the design and implementation of shunt circuits capable of significantly reducing structural vibration. This paper introduces an efficient, light weight, and small-in-size technique for implementing piezoelectr...

The effect of intramolecular relaxations on the damping of longitudinal and transverse phonons was studied in poly(methylphenylsiloxane) (PMPS) and poly(ethylmethylsiloxane) (PEMS) polymers by means of Brillouin spectroscopy. It is shown that studies of the polarized and depolarized Brillouin spectra as functions of temperature and pressure allow for the separation of the contributions of the i...

the structural slenderness ration (height/ with) is one of the title that can be discussed in quake design of building. but unfortunately, in  iranian code isn’t mention this mater.in this article, bending and bracying structures system are chosen with slenderness ratio 2 upto 6. (11, 17, 23, 29, 35 stage).all of structure are analysed and designed in linear method, then analysed in unlinear me...

in the current study the effect of casimir force and squeezed film damping on the pull-in instability and dynamic behavior of electrostatically actuated nano and micro electromechanical systems is investigated separately. linear elastic membrane theory is used to model the static and dynamic behavior of system for strip, annular and disk geometries. squeezed film damping effect is modeled using...

When humans perform goal-directed arm movements under the influence of an external damping force, they learn to adapt to these external dynamics. After removal of the external force field, they reveal kinematic aftereffects that are indicative of a neural controller that still compensates the no longer existing force. Such behavior suggests that the adult human nervous system uses a neural repr...

For advanced aerospace propulsion systems, development of ceramic matrix composite integrally-bladed turbine disk technology is attractive for a number of reasons. The high strength-to-weight ratio of ceramic composites helps to reduce engine weight and the onepiece construction of a blisk will result in fewer parts count, which should translate into reduced operational costs. One shortcoming w...

The performance of surface damping treatments may vary once the surface is exposed to a wide range of temperatures, because the performance of viscoelastic damping material is highly dependent on operational temperature. In addition, experimental data for dynamic responses of viscoelastic material are inherently random, which makes it difficult to design a robust damping layout. In this paper a...
