To reduce the damages of aeolian vibration of conductors to the power transmission networks, the most common method is installation of Stock-bridge dampers. Estimation of the damper’s dissipated energy is an important factor in determining the number and location of installation of these types of vibration absorbers. This estimation is strongly dependent upon the assumed mode shape of the condu...

Soil has elastic-plastic deformation under vibrating working condition. And the acting force between the soil and the vibrating subsoiler parts is of complication. In order to study the effect of the material acting force to the vibrating subsoiler system kinetics features, this paper establishes the vibrating subsoiler system mechanics model considering material acting force. It adopts numeric...

Many people experience vibration effects on whole-body throughout their lives frequently. Vibrating energy absorbed is exposed all-body caused with vibration hazard in the vertically on body and biodynamic responses from body in speed 2.37 to 5.14 m/s could captivate with car seat on user body, so the vibration energy transferred to a seated people body. In this paper, the human body is modeled...

A method is described that allows, for the first time, intraoperative vibration modes assessment of the acoustically stimulated stapes by means of scanning laser Doppler interferometry (LDI). The study was designed to answer the following questions: 1) Is LDI practical for taking measurements during surgery? 2) Are the results comparable to the findings in temporal bone preparations? and 3) Do ...

Deep hole drilling methods are used for producing holes with a high length-to-diameter ratio, good surface finish and straightness. The process is subject to dynamic disturbances that is classified as either chatter vibration or spiralling. In this work, nonlinear time series modeling is used to setup an on-line modeling approach of the time varying dynamics of the process. An on-line monitorin...

In recent years, acoustic emission (AE) sensors and AE-based techniques have been developed and tested for gearbox fault diagnosis. In general, AE-based techniques require much higher sampling rates than vibration analysis-based techniques for gearbox fault diagnosis. Therefore, it is questionable whether an AE-based technique would give a better or at least the same performance as the vibratio...

Raman spectroscopy complimented with infrared ATR spectroscopy has been used to characterise a halotrichite FeSO4.Al2(SO4)3.22H2O from The Jaroso Ravine, Almeria, Spain. Halotrichites form a continuous solid solution series with pickingerite and chemical analysis shows that the jarosite contains 6% Mg. Halotrichite is characterised by four infrared bands at 3569.5, 3485.7, 3371.4 and 3239.0 cm....

The equivalence between a noise source in combination with a resistance, and a thermal bath, is a part of fluctuation theory. This observation was the motivation for the author’s 1960 calculation of the power flow between modes of vibration excited by random noise sources. The resulting relation between power flow and uncoupled energy of vibration is therefore more than a thermal analogy; it is...
