Active control of flexural vibrations of smart laminated composite beams has been carried out using piezoceramic sensor/actuator and viscoelastic material. The beams with passive constrained layer damping hale been analyzed by formulating the equations of motion through the use of extended Hamilton's principle. The dynamic characteristics such as damping ratio and modal damping of the beam are calculated for various fiber orientations by means of iterative complex eigensolution method. This paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite under flexural vibrations to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity.

Non-contact modal testing for longitudinal modes of a pipe is discussed in this work. The suggested method can generate and measure longitudinal vibrations without mechanical contact by using the coupling phenomenon between deformation and magnetic field, known as the magnetostrictive effect. This effect has been used to generate and measure ultrasonic waves, but seldom used to deal with audible vibrations. In this investigation, the validity of the developed method in a typical vibration frequency range is checked with an inconel pipe being used in nuclear power plants.

This paper proposes the design method of a magnetic suspension that can control external vibration caused by low frequencies on the external vibrations by low frequencies. The magnetic suspension with individual controls is able to compensate the vibrations unlike a mechanical suspension. In the magnetic suspension, two characteristics are required. Firstly, magnetic motive force(MMF) by armature winding must be increased linearly. Secondly, identical magnitude of output force should be produced as direction of MMF. In this paper, axis-symmetric finite element analysis is used for magnetic field analysis. In order to optimize magnetic suspension, response surface methodology combined with experimental design is applied to investigate the characteristics and optimize the magnetic suspension for vibration -free table.

Some design technologies of AC traction motor for rolling stocks are presented. AC Traction motors for rolling stocks are operated in worst conditions such as frequent mechanical vibrations, compact design with limited mounting space, severe thermal stress at outside, driven with nonsinusoidal voltage waveform inverters, and so on. Therefore, design procedures must be carefully investigated in the viewpoint of theoritically and practical use. Design procedure contains, the motor size determination, electromagnetic circuit design, insulation system design, vibrations and thermal expansion of rotor bars, temperature rise, as well as output characteristics.

The piping system of a power plant suffers not only thermal expansion according to the temperature variation, but also many kinds of load: steady state vibrations due to the equipment operation or fluid flow, and transient vibrations due to the earthquake or explosion, etc. The snubbers are usually installed on the piping system to allow thermal expansion, and to reduce dynamic responses. Most snubbers are kinds of hydraulic and mechanical type, which can be degraded by leakage and abrasion, and required much cost for maintenance and replacement. Recently the wire rope type snubbers are developed and applied to the power plant, and proved as effective to reduce piping system vibration. Wire rope type snubber uses the bending rigidity and energy dissipation properties of ropes. This paper presents the procedure of design, and the method to apply hysteresis curve to the dynamic response analysis. Experiments were also conducted to confirm design results.

The aim of the investigation described in this paper is to study the nonlinear parametric vibrations and stability of a simply-supported viscoelastic beam with an intra-span spring. Taking into account a time-dependent tension inside the beam as the main source of parametric excitations, as well as employing a two-parameter rheological model, the equations of motion are derived using Newton's second law of motion. These equations are then solved via a perturbation technique which yields approximate analytical expressions for the frequency-response curves. Regarding the main parametric resonance case, the local stability of limit cycles is analyzed. Moreover, some numerical examples are provided in the last section.

Recent studies reveal that grip forces due to repeated mechanical vasocompressions are most significant for the genesis of vibration-induced which finger syndrome (VWF). Therefore, exerted grip force was regarded as a dependent variable in 2 experiments and the effects of noise and vibrations of different weighted acceleration levels were studied. Neither grip forces nor peripheral blood flow as indicated by finger skin temperature were influenced by noise or vibrations. the cause of VWF is therefore presumed to be a concomitant variable which correlates with weighted accelerations and with grip forces as well. A possible factor is the weight of hand-held vibrating tools.

The aims of this study was to estimate transfer force delivered to cone crusher housing and contribution of force transmission. The rock crushing condition caused vibrations in the cone crusher housing, which were experimentally measured, and frequency response functions (FRF) were also found through modal impact tests. Vibration data and frequency response functions were applied to the transfer path analysis (TPA) model. Next, transfer forces delivered to the cone crusher housing were quantified via the TPA method. Contribution of force transfer was also analyzed based on force estimation results. Finally, this study describes basic concepts and components of the TPA method and reviews its applicability to rotating machinery that experiences impact vibrations and forces.

This study presents the nonlinear free and forced vibrations of a cracked atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever by using the modified couple stress. The cracked section of the AFM cantilever is considered and modeled as rotational spring. In the frame work of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, Von-Karman type of geometric nonlinear equation and the modified couple stress theory, the nonlinear equation of motion for the cracked AFM is derived by Hamilton's principle and then discretized by using the Galerkin's method. The semi-inverse method is utilized for analysis nonlinear free oscillation of the system. Then the method of multiple scale is employed to investigate primary resonance of the system. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effects of some parameters such as depth of the crack, length scale parameter, Tip-Mass, the magnitude and the location of the external excitation force on the nonlinear free and forced vibration behavior of the system.

Modeling of vibrations of a rotating pendulum with working shape memory alloy rod has been performed in the frames of a microstructural model taking into account the latent heat release, absorption and the heat exchange during direct and reverse martensitic transformation. It has been shown that the influence of the latent heat, the rate of preliminary deviation of the pendulum from the equilibrium, the rate of heating and cooling can have a significant impact on the vibrations and damping characteristics of the system.
