This paper reported test of full-scale cables attached with four types of dampers: viscous damper, passive Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper, friction damper and High Damping Rubber (HDR) damper. The logarithmic decrements of the cable with attached dampers were calculated from free vibration time history. The efficiency ratios of the mean damping ratios of the tested four dampers to theoretical maximum damping ratio were derived, which was very important for practical damper design and parameter optimization. Non-ideal factors affecting damper performance were discussed based on the test results. The effects of concentrated mass and negative stiffness were discussed in detail and compared theoretically. Approximate formulations were derived and verified using numerical solutions. The critical values for non-dimensional concentrated mass coefficient and negative stiffness were identified. Efficiency ratios were approximately 0.6, 0.6, and 0.3 for the viscous damper, passive MR damper and HDR damper, respectively. The efficiency ratio for the friction damper was between 0-1.0. The effects of concentrated mass and negative stiffness on cable damping were positive as both could increase damping ratio; the concentrated mass was more effective than negative stiffness for higher vibration modes.

This study investigates the impact of ownership structures and audit quality on carbon emission disclosure. It also examines how audit quality affects the relationship between ownership structures and carbon emission disclosure. This research includes 106 standalone sustainability reports from non-financial companies that were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2015 and 2018. Our findings show that family and concentrated ownerships convey less information about carbon emissions. Our results fail to demonstrate that disclosure of carbon emissions could be a corporation's approach to respond to stakeholder pressure and public visibility and to provide legitimacy for its existence. We also find a positive and significant association between high-quality (Big4) auditors and carbon emission performance. Our further result suggests that Big4 auditors seem to compromise their high standard quality on auditing family and concentrated ownership firms. They fail to influence their family and concentrated ownership clients to be socially responsible. Policymakers should support the existence of Big4 auditors as a driver of carbon emission performance. Top management should be proactive to tackle carbon emission issues by adopting stakeholder-driven mechanisms and establishing legitimacy with society. Nevertheless, the involvement of family and highly concentrated shareholders in decision-making processes and information disclosure should not be encouraged.

The tribological properties of eight different liquid crystals were investigated in a concentrated point contact device and a ball-on-flat contact. For comparison, the same tests were also performed with commercial greases and the corresponding base oils. Under the fully flooded conditions studied, liquid crystals in a concentrated point contact showed lower friction than commercial greases and greater film thickness dependence on rolling speed than grease base oils or greases. Test results also showed that the film thickness and friction were little influenced by the composition of the examined liquid crystals.

A modeling method for the bending vibration analysis of rotating Timoshenko beams with concentrated mass and mass moment of inertia is presented. The shear and rotary inertia effects become critical for the accurate estimation of the natural frequencies and modeshapes as the slenderness ratio decreases. The effect of the concentrated mass and mass moment of inertia on the natural frequencies are also investigated with the modeling method.

This paper is for the vibration analysis of thick plate with concentrated mass on a inhomogeneous pasternak foundation. the thick rectangular plate resting on a inhomogeneous pasternak foundation is isotropic, homogeneous and composite with linearly elastic material. In order to analyize plat which is supported on inhomogeneous pasternak foundation, the value of winkler foundation parameter(WFP) of centural and border zone of plate are chosen as Kw1 and Kw2 respectively. The value of Kw1 and Kw2 can be changed as 0, 10, $10^2,\;10^3$ and the value of SFP(shear foundation parameter) also be changed 0, 5, 10, 15 respectively. Finally, In this paper, vibration of retangular plate on the inhomogeneous pasternak foundation, natural frequency of this plate with Concentrated Mass are calculated

A nonlinear modeling method for an axially oscillating cantilever beam with a concentrated mass is presented in this paper. Hybrid deformation variables are employed for the modeling method with which frequency response characteristics of axially oscillating cantilever beams are investigated. The geometric nonlinear effects of stretching and curvature are considered to accurately predict the frequency response characteristics of the oscillating cantilever beam. The effects of the size and the location of the concentrated mass on the frequency characteristics are investigated. It is found that the dynamic instability is significantly influenced by the two parameters.

Modal characteristics of a cracked beam with a concentrated mass undergoing rotational motion are investigated in this paper. Hybrid deformation variables are employed to derive the equations of motion of a rotating cantilever beam. The flexibility due to crack, which is assumed to be open during the vibration, is calculated basing on a fracture mechanics theory. To obtain more general information, the equations of motion are transformed into a dimensionless form in which dimensionless parameters are identified. The effects of the dimensionless parameters related to the angular speed, the depth and location of a crack and the size and location of a concentrated mass on the modal characteristics of the beam are investigated numerically.

Equations of motion of a rotating blade considering pre-twist angle, cross section taper and a concentrated mass are derived using the hybrid deformation variable modeling method. For the modeling of a concentrated mass which is located at an arbitrary position of the blade, a Dirac delta function is employed for the mass density function. The final equations for the vibration analysis are transformed into a dimensionless form using several dimensionless parameters. The effects of the dimensionless parameters on the vibration characteristics of the rotating blade are investigated through numerical analysis.

The effect of a concentrated mass on the regions of dynamic instability of an axially oscillating cantilever beam is investigated in this paper. The equations of motion are derived using Kane's method and the assumed mode method. It is found that the bending stiffness is harmonically varied by axial inertia forces due to oscillating motion. Under the certain conditions between oscillating frequency and the natural frequencies, dynamic instability may occur and the magnitude of the bending vibration increase without bound. By using the multiple time scales method, the regions of dynamic instability are obtained. The regions of dynamic instability are found to be depend on the magnitude of a concentrated mass or its location.
