because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...

it is well known that damaged structural members may alter the behaviour of the structures considerably. careful observation of these changes has often been viewed as a means to identify and assess the location and severity of damages in structures. among the responses of a structure, natural frequencies and natural modes are both relatively easy to obtain and independent from external excitati...

induction motor bearing is one of the key parts of the machine and its analysis and interpretation are important for fault detection. in the present work vibration signal has been taken for the classification i.e. bearing is healthy (h) or defective (d). for this purpose, clustering based classification of bearing vibration data has been carried out using principal component analysis (pca) and ...

apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (wf) and oval wheels (or oor, out-of-roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. within the fp7 research project “saferail”, apt has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “wheel flat and out of roundness monitoring (worm) syst...

black tea sample was dried by a vibro-fluidized bed dryer to find its aerodynamic behavior and thermal performance during drying. the drying experiments were conducted at three different inlet air temperatures of 100, 115 and 130°c and fluidization condition at five vibration intensity levels of 0 (no vibration), 0.063, 0.189, 0.395 and 1.184. the results showed that bed channeling and defluidi...

Non-chemical control of plant growth is an important goal for the production of ornamental pot plants. In the present study the effects of simulated vibration on plant height and some physical and mechanical properties of Coleus stem were investigated. The study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Vibration stresses were perfo...

in this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. for the time integration of the problem, the runge–kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. the runge–kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

manual citrus harvesting is commonly performing hard, expensive and time consuming. in this study, a factorial experiment with a completely randomized design in three replications was performed to find out the effect of frequency (three levels of 5, 7.5 and 10 hz), vibration time (three levels of 10, 15 and 20 seconds) on harvesting capacity and losses of thomson cultivar of orange. the results...
