Knitted spacer fabrics can be an alternative material to typical rubber sponges and polyurethane foams for the protection of the human body from vibration exposure, such as automotive seat cushions and anti-vibration gloves. To provide a theoretical basis for the understanding of the nonlinear vibration behavior of the mass-spacer fabric system under harmonic excitation, experimental, analytical and numerical methods are used. Different from a linear mass-spring-damper vibration model, this study builds a phenomenological model with the asymmetric elastic force and the fractional derivative damping force to describe the periodic solution of the mass-spacer fabric system under harmonic excitation. Mathematical expression of the harmonic amplitude versus frequency response curve (FRC) is obtained using the harmonic balance method (HBM) to solve the equation of motion of the system. Parameter values in the model are estimated by performing curve fit between the modeled FRC and the experimental data of acceleration transmissibility. Theoretical analysis concerning the influence of varying excitation level on the FRCs is carried out, showing that nonlinear softening resonance turns into nonlinear hardening resonance with the increase of excitation level, due to the quadratic stiffness term and the cubic stiffness term in the model, respectively. The quadratic stiffness term also results in biased vibration response and causes an even order harmonic distortion. Besides, the increase of excitation level also results in elevated peak transmissibility at resonance.

Abstract The steady state response of a fractional order vibration system subject to harmonic excitation was studied by using the fractional derivative operator ${}_{-\infty} D_t^\beta,$where the order β is a real number satisfying 0 ≤ β ≤ 2. We derived that the fractional derivative contributes to the viscoelasticity if 0 < β < 1, while it contributes to the viscous inertia if 1 < β < 2. Thus the fractional derivative can represent the “spring-pot” element and also the “inerterpot” element proposed in the present article. The viscosity contribution coefficient, elasticity contribution coefficient, inertia contribution coefficient, amplitude-frequency relation, phase-frequency relation, and influence of the order are discussed in detail. The results show that fractional derivatives are applicable for characterizing the viscoelasticity and viscous inertia of materials.

Jet fuel flowing through the fuel injector is atomized and then mixed with high temperature compressed air flowing through the swirler to create a combustible mixture inside a gas turbine combustor. Individual geometric and flow features are carefully tuned at a component level to deliver optimum combustion performance. In a critical interface such as the fuel injector and swirler, manufacturing tolerances not only have an impact on combustor performance and operability but also on durability, as the relative position of the fuel injector to the swirler significantly impacts the swirler temperature. This paper studies the influence of manufacturing tolerances on component assembly and the resulting impact on swirler temperature. The oxidation damage mechanism of the swirler is used as a measure to assess swirler durability. A Pareto chart of the effect of manufacturing tolerances on metal temperature is used to highlight the key influencing parameters. Probability distribution associated with manufacturing tolerances is gathered with Monte Carlo simulation to guide the design.

The work presented here investigates a unique design platform for multi-stable energy harvesting using only interaction between magnets. A solid cylindrical magnet is levitated between two stationary magnets. Peripheral magnets are positioned around the casing of the energy harvester to create multiple stable positions. Upon external vibration, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy that is extracted using a coil wrapped around the casing of the harvester. A prototype of the multi-stable energy harvester is fabricated. Monostable and bistable configurations are demonstrated and fully characterized in static and dynamic modes. Compared to traditional multi-stable designs the harvester introduced in this work is compact, occupies less volume, and does not require complex circuitry normally needed for multi-stable harvesters involving piezoelectric elements. At 2.5g [m/s2], results from experiment show that the bistable harvester does not outperform the monostable harvester. At this level of acceleration, the bistable harvester exhibits intrawell motion away from jump frequency. Chaotic motion is observed in the bistable harvester when excited close to jump frequency. Interwell motion that yields high displacement amplitudes and velocities is absent at this acceleration.
