Linear Damping

The interface of bolted joint commonly focuses on the research of non-linear damping and stiffness, which affect structural response. In the article, the non-linear damping model of bolted-joint interface is built, consisting of viscous damping and Coulomb friction. Energy balancing method is developed to identify the dry-friction parameter and viscous damping factor. The corresponding estimation equations are acquired when the input is harmonic excitation. Then, the vibration experiments with different bolted preloads are conducted, from which amplitudes in various input levels are used to work out the interface parameters. Also, the fitting curves of dry-friction parameters are also obtained. Finally, the results illustrate that the most interface of bolted joint in lower excitation levels occurs stick-slip motion, and the feasibility of the identification approach is demonstrated.

The modal system describing nonlinear sloshing with inviscid flows in a rectangular rigid tank is revised to match both shallow fluid and secondary (internal) resonance asymptotics. The main goal is to examine nonlinear resonant waves for intermediate depth/breadth ratio 0.1 [lsim ] h/l [lsim ] 0.24 forced by surge/pitch excitation with frequency in the vicinity of the lowest natural frequency. The revised modal equations take full account of nonlinearities up to fourth-order polynomial terms in generalized coordinates and h/l and may be treated as a modal Boussinesq-type theory. The system is truncated with a high number of modes and shows good agreement with experimental data by Rognebakke (1998) for transient motions, where previous finite depth modal theories failed. However, difficulties may occur when experiments show significant energy dissipation associated with run-up at the walls and wave breaking. After reviewing published results on damping rates for lower and higher modes, the linear damping terms due to the linear laminar boundary layer near the tank's surface and viscosity in the fluid bulk are incorporated. This improves the simulation of transient motions. The steady-state response agrees well with experiments by Chester & Bones (1968) for shallow water, and Abramson et al. (1974), Olsen & Johnsen (1975) for intermediate fluid depths. When h/l [lsim ] 0.05, convergence problems associated with increasing the dimension of the modal system are reported.

Towed Arrays

A procedure for calculating the response of an array to a harmonic excitation applied at the upstream end is presented. The fluid forces on the array are modeled following the slender-body approximation and the cross-flow principle. An equivalent linear damping is used to replace the quadratic drag due to cross-flow separation. The equivalent linear damping is determined using an iterative procedure. Numerical and asymptotic solutions are derived, and the response of a typical long array is calculated. It is found that, when the separation drag is included, the array exhibits the behavior of an over-damped system, responding only to low-frequency excitations.

Theoretical Condition

A computer program for calculating dynamic coefficients of journal bearings is necessary in designing fluid film journal bearings and an accuracy of the program is sometimes checked by the relation that the cross terms of linear damping coefficients of journal bearings are equal to each other, namely “Cxy = Cyx”. However, the condition for this relation has not been clear. This paper shows that the relation “Cxy = Cyx” holds in any type of finite width journal bearing when these are calculated under the following condition: (I) The governing Reynolds equation is linear in pressure or regarded as linear in numerical calculations; (II) Film thickness is given by h = c (1 + κcosθ); and (III) Boundary condition is homogeneous such as p=0 or dp/dn=0, where n denotes a normal to the boundary.
