The consecutive speed-control humps (SCHs) possess the function of controlling speed forcibly, but cause violent vibration of a vehicle inevitably. This paper tries to further explore the inherent link among parameters of the SCHs, velocity and vehicle vibration. A 4-DOF nonlinear half-vehicle model with nonlinear springs and nonlinear dampers is established. The consecutive SCHs-speed coupling...

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...

Abstract: Microresonators are popular structures used in a variety of applications. They generally operate in the linear region where the vibration amplitude is limited, thereby limiting the signal-to-noise ratio. The nonlinear vibration region, where amplitudes and, consequently, the signal-to-noise ratio are relatively large, is generally avoided owing to instabilities and complexities in ana...

in this study, nonlocal nonlinear instability and the vibration of a double carbon nanotube (cnt) system have been investigated. the visco-pasternak model is used to simulate the elastic medium between nanotubes, on which the effect of the spring, shear and damping of the elastic medium is considered. both of the cnts convey a viscose fluid and a uniform longitudinal magnetic field is applied t...

A semi-analytical method is used to study the effects of the multi vibration absorbers on the nonlinear functionally graded (FG) Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to periodic load. The material properties of the beam are assumed to be continuously graded in the thickness direction. The governing equations of functionally graded beam are obtained based on the Hamilton's principle and these equation...

In this paper, research on transverse vibrations of axially moving strings and their control is thoroughly reviewed. In the last few decades, there have been extensive studies on analysis and control of transverse vibrations of axially moving strings because of the wide applications of many engineering devices that axially moving strings represent. In the investigations adopting linear models o...

The analysis of smart spring vibration isolation system is analyzed through MATLAB simulation. The results show suppressing dominant vibration mode of platform.

This paper deals with MIMO system analysis of low frequency dominant modes, which are critical, examined first by linear controller techniques and then wi...

This paper presents a study on the frequency response of a capacitive micro-beam resonator under various applied stresses. The governing equation whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear electrostatic equation. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equation analytical solution are not generally available; therefore, the ...

In this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the carbon nanotube conveying fluid in slip boundary conditions is studied using the variation iteration method. The developed solutions are used to investigate the effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of the nanotube. The results indicate that an increase in the slip parameter leads to a decrease in the frequency of vibration an...
