Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental study of pneumatic damping behaviour for the valves in the reciprocating compressor, this paper presents a simple mathematical model of pneumatic damping valves, in which the non-viscous damping force is introduced. The non-viscous damping coefficient is obtained by the experimental determination. The simulation results of this simple model for...

INTRODUCTION Soft tissue vibrations within the human body have attracted the interest of scientists in the last decade. These vibrations are typically heavily damped and it has been shown that the magnitude of damping is related to the muscular activation during a movement task. Thus, the damping coefficient can be used to estimate the work needed to cope with tissue vibrations. However, the ro...

identification of damping parameter is usually more complicated and unreliable comparing to mass or stiffness identification in structural dynamics. there are many factors such as intermolecular friction, coulomb friction and viscous damping affecting the damping mechanisms in a structure. therefore it is difficult, and in some cases impossible, to describe the details of damping mechanisms by ...

A new compact model of squeeze-film damping is developed based on the numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. It provides a simple expression for the damping coefficient and the quality factor valid through the slip, transitional and free-molecular regimes. In this work, we have applied statistical analysis to the current model using the chi-squared test. The damping predictions a...

This paper reports analytical modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) of the effect of two types of air damping (squeeze film and slide film damping) on resonance frequency and quality factor of a multi-layer CMOS-MEMS resonator designed for application as a mass sensitive gas sensor. The sensing principle is based on change in frequency or amplitude of the resonator due to adsorption/absorp...

Abstract Rectification of tilting ratchets is investigated, going beyond the well-studied over-damped regime. The negative friction Langevin dynamics technique is employed to evaluate rectification coefficient such as that for the d.c. voltage of a SQUID rocking ratchet. Numerical results for rectification coefficient in a wide range of temperatures show that variation in the value of damping p...

Resonance experiments are described on polycrystalline ferrite spheres in a microwave cavity with a linearly polarized magnetic field. Fundamental quantities, like the g-factor and the damping coefficient 'of the ferrite, are derived from the measurements. The damping coefficient can be calculated either from a linewidth measurement or from the maximum amount of absorption in the ferrite at res...
