in this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviours of carbon nanotube conveying fluidwith slip boundary conditions is studied using variation iteration method. the developed solutions are used to investigate the effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of the nanotube. from the result, it is observed that increase in the slip parameter leads to decrease in the frequency of vibration an...

Steam-induced vibration is a kind of self-excited vibration which is one of the most important issues affecting the operation reliability of steam turbines. A lot of actual cases of steam-induced vibration of steam turbine were collected in this work. And steam-induced vibration fault was statistical and classified by fault reason, happened time, occurrence load and fault severity. The statisti...

A numerical simulation of vortex-induced vibration of a 2-dimensional elastic circular cylinder with two degree of freedom under the uniform flow is calculated when Reynolds is 200. 2-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved with the space-time finite element method, the equation of the cylinder motion is solved with the new explicit integral method and the mesh renew is ac...

This paper presents the development of a magnetorheological (MR) fluid-based variable stiffness and damping isolator for vibration suppressions. The MR fluid isolator used a sole MR control unit to achieve the variable stiffness and damping in stepless and relative large scope. A mathematical model of the isolator was derived, and a prototype of the MR fluid isolator was fabricated and its dyna...

It has been suggested that poststenotic weakening of arterial walls is caused by arterial wall vibration and structural fatigue initiated by pressure disturbances in turbulent blood flow. We examined the frequency spectra of wall vibration downstream from experimental arterial stenoses and compared them with the natural resonant vibration characteristics of the artery walls. Spectra of arterial...

Concern over construction vibration-induced cracking has led to development of a new approach to vibration monitoring, an autonomous crack comparometer (ACC). This paper describes sensor performance and chronicles the first steps in the development of this concept, illustrated in Figure 1. A single sensor measures both weather-induced micrometer changes in crack width and those produced by habi...

Fluid-structural coupling occurs when microcantilever sensors vibrate in a fluid. Due to the complexity of the mechanical characteristics of microcantilevers and lack of high-precision microscopic mechanical testing instruments, effective methods for studying the fluid-structural coupling of microcantilevers are lacking, especially for non-rectangular microcantilevers. Here, we report fluid-str...
