Chaotic vibration has been identified in the flexible automotive wiper blade at certain wiping speeds. This irregular vibration not only decreases the wiping efficiency, but also degrades the driving comfort. A reliable nonlinear system identification namely nonlinear auto regressive exogenous Elman neural network (NARXENN) was adopted in first stage of this survey to model the flexible dynamic...

Dynamics of a thin dewetting liquid film on a vertically oscillating substrate is considered. We assume moderate vibration frequency and large (compared to the mean film thickness) vibration amplitude. Using the lubrication approximation and the averaging method, we formulate the coupled sets of equations governing the pulsatile and the averaged fluid flows in the film, and then derive the nonl...

Withdrawal escape response of C. elegans to nonlocalized vibration is a useful behavioral paradigm to examine mechanisms underlying mechanosensory behavior and its memory-dependent change. However, there are very few methods for investigating the degree of vibration frequency, amplitude and duration needed to induce behavior and memory. Here, we establish a new system to quantify C. elegans mec...

In order to measure the nonlinear features of micromechanical resonators, a free damped oscillation method based on stair-stepped frequency sinusoidal pulse excitation is investigated. In the vicinity of the resonant frequency, a frequency stepping sinusoidal pulse sequence is employed as the excitation signal. A set of free vibration response signals, containing different degrees of nonlinear ...

this paper investigates the lateral vibration of single-layered graphene sheets based on a new theory called doublet mechanics with a length scale parameter. after a brief reviewing of doublet mechanics fundamentals, a sixth order partial differential equation that governs the lateral vibration of single-layered graphene sheets is derived. using doublet mechanics, the relation between natural f...

This contribution is concerned with vibration rejection by nonlinear control techniques in steel industry, particularly in rolling mill plants. The high quality requirements of rolled products, especially in relation to the thickness tolerances, mean a challenging task also from a control point of view. The key part of this contribution deals with so-called wrapper rolls as well as chatter vibr...

This paper presents an intelligent control strategy to overcome nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of a diaphragm-type pneumatic vibration isolator (PVI) system. By combining an adaptive rule with fuzzy and sliding-mode control, the method has online learning ability when it faces the system's nonlinear and time-varying behaviors during an active vibration control process. Since the pro...

Abstract In this contribution, a system simulation method based on the finite element (FEM) is applied to simulate strongly coupled bimorph piezoelectric vibration-based energy harvester (PVEH) with various nonlinear, non-ideal and active circuits: The standard circuit, synchronized switch harvesting inductor circuit electric charge extraction are considered. Furthermore, nonlinear elastic beha...

Recent works done by nano-engineers and nano-sciences about mechanical behavior of nano-plates including bending, buckling and vibration response were reviewed. The authors used non-classical elasticity theories to explain these behaviors of plate structures. Some of them employed Hamilton’s principle along with stain gradient theory, nonlocal theory, surface theory and couple stress theory to ...

Real-time monitoring during soil compaction can be made possible by utilizing the vibration signature of a vibratory roller compactor. The compactor and soil constitute a coupled dynamic system, albeit complex and nonlinear. As the soil density increases and its mechanical properties change, the dynamic response of the compactor will change. Developing a thorough knowledge of the relationship b...
