To facilitate the damping matching of dampers for vehicle passive suspensions, this paper proposes an analytical matching method of the optimal piecewise linear damping characteristics curve. Based on the vehicle vibration model, taking the suspension dynamic deflection as the constraint, by the vibration acceleration and the wheel dynamic load, an objective function about the relative damping ...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded (FGM) cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation is investigated. The nonlinear formulation is based on a Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, in which the geometric nonlinearity takes the form of von Karman strains. The Lagrange equations of motion were obtained by an energy approach. In order to reduce the syst...

According to the linear viscoelastic model, the population discrete elements under the vibration working condition of the seed tray of the seeder were assumed as rigid conditions to analyze the collision process. The dynamic characteristics among the population collision process for the vibration process of the seeder were analyzed by tracing the microcosmic motion of each seed. The following c...

Electrical interactions between molecular vibrations can be non-linear and thereby produce intermolecular coupling even in the absence of a chemical bond. We use this fact to detect the formation of an intermolecular complex using electron-vibration-vibration two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (EVV 2DIR) and also to determine the distance and angle between the two molecular species.

Magnetic linear gear provides a new and unique opportunity for coupling mechanical impedances and optimizing vibration damping. In the present paper a new magneto-mechanical vibration damper (the so-called Z-damper) is described. Its expected theoretical dynamic behavior shows a particularly high damping capability, a low frequency, as well as an optimal behavior for high frequencies.

ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to explain a modern Hilbert transform method for analysis and identification of mechanical non-linear vibration structures in the case of quasiperiodic signals. This special kind of periodicity arises in experimental vibration signals. The method is based on the Hilbert transform of input and output signals in a time domain to extract the instantaneous dyn...

In this study, the second type of Green and Naghdi's thermoelasticity theory is applied to present the vibration of a nanobeam subjected to rectified sine wave heating based upon the nonlocal thermoelasticity theory. Both Young's modulus and thermal conductivity are considered to be linear functions of the temperature. The Laplace transform domain is adopted to solve the governing partial diffe...

In order to investigate the effects of introducing non-linear material behaviour on the dynamic response of a topsides structure to explosion, a series of analyses has been carried out using a geometrically detailed finite element model. The work reported in this document builds upon that carried out during Phase 2 of the Strong VibrationWorking Group JIP, in which purely elastic models were us...

In this paper an algebraic technique for unbalance parameters identification along with an active control scheme for a rotor bearing system are presented. The system has two disks asymmetrically located along the shaft which is supported by a conventional ball bearing at one end and by an active suspension at the other one. The active suspension is based on linear springs and linear force actua...

This paper presents the development of an active vibration control using direct adaptive controller to suppress the vibration of a flexible beam system. The controller is realized based on linear parametric form. Differential evolution optimisation algorithm is used to optimize the controller using single objective function by minimizing the mean square error of the observed vibration signal. F...
