initially, the first aim of the present study is to model 3-axle rigid truck by developing a code inmatlab. secondly, each equation should be drived by acquisition of lagrange approach. afterderiving equations successfully, validation is performed by some result which was mentioned inbohao li's master thesis. although the present approach is totally different from the approachthat boahao li use...

in this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (er) fluid core is investigated. the rectangular plate is covered an er fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. the two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. the viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

A method is proposed to identify the mechanical properties of the skin and core materials of honeycomb sandwich. All the elastic coefficients and loss-factors that matter in the dynamics of a panel in the thick-plate approximation are identified. To this end, experimental natural modes (i.e. eigenmodes of the damped system) are compared to the numerical modes of a large sandwich panel (lx,y/h ≃...

Clinicians and experimentalists routinely estimate vagal-cardiac nerve traffic from respiratory sinus arrhythmia. However, evidence suggests that sympathetic mechanisms may also modulate respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Our study examined modulation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia by sympathetic outflow. We measured R-R interval spectral power in 10 volunteers that breathed sequentially at 13 freq...

Abstract: In this research, at first, the natural frequencies of a cracked beam are obtained analytically, then, location and depth of a crack in beam is identified by neural network method. The research is applied on a beam with an open crack for three different boundary conditions. For this purpose, at first, the natural frequencies of the cracked beam are obtained analytically, to get the ex...

Abstract—In this paper, a theoretical investigation on the dynamic characteristics of one degree of freedom vibration system equipped with inerter of variable inertance, is presented. Differential equation of movement was solved under proper initial conditions in the case of free undamped/damped vibration, considered in the absence/presence of the inerter in the mechanical system. Influence of ...

We consider a class of viscous damped vibrating systems. We prove that, under the assumption that the damping term ensures the exponential decay for the corresponding inviscid system, then the exponential decay rate is uniform for the viscous one, regardless what the value of the viscosity parameter is. Our method is mainly based on a decoupling argument of low and high frequencies. Low frequen...

In Technical Report EE98024, the authors present a closed-form expression for the quan-tiication of model error in transfer function estimation by characterising undermodelling by a random walk process in the frequency domain. The present note shows that, for systems with resonant modes, less conservative model error quantiications may be obtained by alternatively characterising undermodelling ...

This paper focuses on the efficient estimation of the frequencies and damping factors of a single two-dimensional (2-D) damped complex exponential in additive Gaussian noise. We derive the estimators by extending the FFT-based frequency estimator that relies on interpolation on Fourier coefficients to 2-D damped signals. Performance analysis shows that the algorithm can achieve minimum variance...
