From a theoretical viewpoint, the vocal folds vibration affects the vocal tract transfer characteristics through nonlinear time-varying interaction between the glottis and vocal tract. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate and model such e ects in order to improve voice quality in parametric rule-based speech synthesis systems. In this paper, we rst conducted analytic experiments on the vocal...

With continual interest in expanding the performance envelope of engineering systems, nonlinear components are increasingly utilized in real-world applications. This causes the failure of wellestablished techniques to mitigate resonant vibrations. In particular, this holds for the linear tuned vibration absorber (LTVA), which requires an accurate tuning of its natural frequency to the resonant ...

Traditional linear spectral analysis techniques of the vibration signals, based on auto-power spectrum, are used as common tools of rotating components diagnoses. Unfortunately, linear spectral analysis techniques are of limited value when various spectral components interact with one another due to nonlinear or parametric process. In such a case, higher order spectral (HOS) techniques are reco...

Crossties and cable networks are used on cable-stayed bridges to mitigate wind-induced stay vibration. A nonlinear free-vibration analysis of a cable network with random oscillation amplitudes is presented in this study. Specifically, a nonlinear restoring-force spring model is introduced at the crosstie to simulate in-plane network free vibration at large amplitudes. The current constitutive m...

In the present study, nonlinear free vibration behavior of nanobeam subjected to magnetic field is investigated based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The Hamilton’s principal is adopted to derive the governing equations together with Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and the von-Kármán’s nonlinear strain–displacement relationships. An approximate analytical solution ...

This article presents a damage detection method for prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) elements based on free vibration tests and nonlinear damping identification. Integrated static and dynamic experiments were carried out on three precast PRC beam specimens. The static loading induced different levels of damage to the beams. At each damage level, impulsive loading was applied to the beams a...

natural hazards such as earthquakes have threatened the life of human beings during the history.as a consequence, the vibration mitigation of structures has caught great importance. activecontrol of structures is one of the rapidly emerging areas in the concept of structural control. thispaper presents a control method to deal with this subject when the dynamics of the structure ishysteretic an...

In this paper, a new viscoelastic size-depended model developed based on a modified couple stress theory and the for nonlinear viscoelastic material in order to vibration analysis of a viscoelastic nanoplate. The material of the nanoplate is assumed to obey the Leaderman nonlinear constitutive relation and the von Kármán plate theory is employed to model the system. The viscous parts of the clas...

   The main purpose of the present investigation is to analyze more comprehensively the size-dependent nonlinear free vibration response of multilayer functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (GPLRC) nanobeams. As a consequence, both of the hardening stiffness and softening stiffness of size effect are taken into consideration by implementation of the nonlocal str...
