In this investigation, the material removal rate, tool wear rate and surface integrity obtained by EDM, ultrasonic vibrations assisted EDM and magnetic field assisted EDM were studied and compared with together to show the quality of the effects of applying each of ultrasonic vibrations to tool and magnetic field around gap distance of EDM process on material removal rate, tool wear rate, and s...

Sensory systems are designed to extract behaviorally relevant information from the environment. In seeking to understand a sensory system, it is important to understand the environment within which it operates. In the present study, we seek to characterize the natural scenes of tactile texture perception. During tactile exploration complex high-frequency vibrations are elicited in the fingertip...

Chatter vibrations are present in almost all cutting operations and they are the major obstacles in achieving desired surface finish. Chatter vibrations are the self excited vibrations, which has an adverse effect on surface roughness, dimensional accuracy of the machined components. This paper investigates the occurrence of regenerative chatter vibrations in centerless bar turning operation. T...

the vibrations produced by trains include two parts which are deterministic and random vibrations. due to variation of dynamic loads and patterns of load-time, the random vibration of moving train is one of the most important issues in the field of railway engineering. one of the important sources in producing the train vibrations is rail roughness and irregularities. in this paper, responses o...

The purpose of this mini-review is to outline diversity of chest wall vibrations, specify biomechanical peculiarities and point out a few problems crucial for development of diagnostic and therapeutic applications of chest wall vibrations. The review considers two types of chest wall vibrations: spontaneous, induced by breathing, and forced (or artificial), induced by external vibration forces....

The relative motion between the surface of an object and our fingers produces patterns of skin deformation such as stretch, indentation, and vibrations. In this study, we hypothesized that motion-induced vibrations are combined with other tactile cues for the discrimination of tactile speed. Specifically, we hypothesized that vibrations provide a critical cue to tactile speed on surfaces lackin...

A procedure for calculating the amplitudes of the normal and tangential components of the displacement vector of three-dimensional vibrations of any point on the surface of mechanical wave system is proposed on the basis of experimental holographic interfrometry data and the theory of vibrations of mechanical systems The problem of determination the amplitude – frequency response characteristic...
