The Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) effect refers to a special vibration damping technique adapted thin-walled structures such as beams or plates. It usually consists of local decrease the structure thickness profile, associated thin viscoelastic coating placed in area minimum thickness. has been shown that structural design acts an efficient damper high frequency range, but not at low frequencies. T...

A non-linear model of an adjustable automotive damper is developed, which includes the compressibility of the ̄uid, trapped gas and expansion of the cylinder. The parameters for the model are selected by ®tting the model to experimentally obtained data from the damper. The model is shown to give an excellent representation of the damper under investigation. The performance of the damper model i...

the present article seek to investigate the function of elliptical steel damper function in steel frames seismic resisting. the elliptical damper is a kind of earthquake energy dissipater in structure which acts based on the steel yielding feature. thus, this damper in frame lateral displacement mechanism is expected to have a satisfying hysteretic behavior in terms of energy absorption is on a...

Viscoelastic (VE) damper exhibits significant mechanical nonlinearity under dynamic loads due to variations in the temperature, excitation frequency, and occurrence of large strains. However, existing research literature, such is barely considered, its effects on aseismic behaviours viscoelasticlly damped structure (referred as VE structures) are also unclear. In this paper, a modified equivale...

In this paper, the distributed order calculus was used to establish a creep damage theoretical model accurately describe properties of viscoelastic materials. Firstly, definition and basic in math were given. On basis, mechanical elements damper built properties. Then, introduced into three-parameter solid model. The inverse Laplace transform derived operator’s contour integrals path along Hank...

Title of Dissertation: DEVELOPMENT OF MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID ELASTOMERIC DAMPERS FOR HELICOPTER STABILITY AUGMENTATION Wei Hu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Norman M. Wereley Department of Aerospace Engineering Conventional lag dampers use passive materials, such as elastomers, to dissipate energy and provide stiffness, but their damping and stiffness levels d...

We designed and validated a rotary magnetorheological (MR) damper with a specified damping torque capacity, an unsaturated magnetic flux density (MFD), and a high magnetic field intensity (MFI) for unmanned vehicle suspension systems. In this study, for the rotary type MR damper to have these satisfactory performances, the roles of the sealing location and the cover case curvature of the MR dam...
