A new analytical model is developed for the reduction of noise inside a cavity using distributed piezoelectric actuators. A modal coupling method is used to establish the governing equations of motion of the fully coupled acoustics-structure-piezoelectric patch system. Two performance functions relating “global” and “local” optimal control of sound pressure levels (SPL) respectively are applied to obtain the control laws. The discussions on associated control mechanism show that both the mechanisms of modal amplitude suppression and modal rearrangement may sometimes coexist in the implementation of optimal noise control.

Abstract A new analytical model is developed for the reduction of noise inside a cavity using distributed piezoelectric actuators. The cavity is modeled with four rigid walls and two flexible panels, panel on the top is excited by disturbing point forces and thus radiating structure borne noise into the cavity, and the other panel which is on the bottom is bonded with actuators to control the noise inside the cavity. Modal coupling method is used to establish the governing equations of motion of the fully coupled acoustics-structure-piezoelectric patch system. Two performance functions relating ‘global’ and ‘local’ optimal control of sound pressure levels (SPL) respectively are applied to obtain the control laws. Numerical investigations into the effect of number of actuators, error sensors as well as disturbing point forces on SPL’s are presented. Based on the studies, it is found that the number of actuators has a significant influence on SPL’s for local control case, while for global control case, this influence is quite limited. The discussions on associated control mechanism show that both the mechanisms of modal amplitude suppression and modal rearrangement may sometimes coexist in the implementation of optimal noise control.

In this paper, vibration behavior of engine on nonlinear hydraulic engine mount including inertia track and decoupler is studied. In this regard, after introducing the nonlinear factors of this mount (i.e. inertia and decoupler resistances in turbulent region), the vibration governing equations of engine on one hydraulic engine mount are solved and the effect of nonlinearity is investigated. In order to have a comparison between rubber and hydraulic engine mounts, a 6 degree of freedom four cylinders V-shaped engine under inertia and balancing masses forces and torques is considered. By solving the time domain nonlinear equations of motion of engine on three inclined mounts, translational and rotational motions of engines body are obtained for different engine speeds. Transmitted base forces are also determined for both types of engine mount. Comparison of rubber and hydraulic mounts indicates the efficiency of hydraulic one in low frequency region.

The linear in-plane free vibration of a thin, homogeneous, viscoelastic, rotating annular disk is investigated. In the development of an analytical solution, two dimensional elastodynamic theory is employed and the viscoelastic material for the medium is allowed by assuming complex elastic moduli. The general governing equations of motion are derived by implementing plane stress theory. Natural frequencies are computed for several modes at specific radius ratios with fixed-free boundary conditions and modal loss factors for different damping ratios are determined. The computed results were compared to previously established results. It was observed that the effects of rotational speed and hysteretic damping ratio on natural frequency and elastic stability of the rotating disks were related to the mode of vibration and type of circumferential wave occurring.

<p><span lang="EN-IN">The flow of an unsteady incompressible electrically conducting fluid with uniform distribution of dust particles in a constricted channel has been studied. The medium is assumed to be porous in nature. The governing equations of motion are treated analytically and the expressions are obtained by using variable separable and Laplace transform techniques. The influence of the dust particles on the velocity distributions of the fluid are investigated for various cases and the results are illustrated by varying parameters like Hartmann number, deposition thickness on the walls of the cylinder and the permeability of the porous medium on the velocity of dust and fluid phase.</span></p>

The vibration behavior of piezoelectric microbeams is studied on the basis of the modified couple stress theory. The governing equations of motion and boundary conditions for the Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models are derived using Hamilton’s principle. By the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for natural frequencies of microbeams with simply supported boundary conditions is obtained. Numerical results for both beam models are presented and the effects of piezoelectricity and length scale parameter are illustrated. It is found that the influences of piezoelectricity and size effects are more prominent when the length of microbeams decreases. A comparison between two beam models also reveals that the Euler-Bernoulli beam model tends to overestimate the natural frequencies of microbeams as compared to its Timoshenko counterpart.

The dynamical analysis of a rotating thin-walled composite shaft with internal damping is carried out analytically. The equations of motion are derived using the thin-walled composite beam theory and the principle of virtual work. The internal damping of shafts is introduced by adopting the multiscale damping analysis method. Galerkin’s method is used to discretize and solve the governing equations. Numerical study shows the effect of design parameters on the natural frequencies, critical rotating speeds, and instability thresholds of shafts.

Laminar film condensation is an important phenomenon which occurs in numerous industrial applications such as refrigeration, chemical processing, and thermal power generation industries. It is well known that film condensation heat transfer is greatly reduced in the presence of a non-condensing gas. The present work performs a numerical analysis of the steady-state, laminar film condensation from a vapour-gas mixture in vertical parallel plate channels to demonstrate a computer model that could assist engineering analysts designing systems involving these phenomena. The present model has three new aspects relative to other current work. First, the complete elliptic two-dimensional governing equations are solved in both phases. Thus, the entire channel domain is solved rather than using an approach that marches along the channel from inlet to a prescribed length. Second, a dynamically determined sharp interface is used between the phases. This sharp interface is determined during the solution on a non-orthogonal structured mesh. Third, the governing equations are solved in a fully-coupled approach. The equations for two velocities, pressure, temperature, and gas mass fraction are solved in a coupled method simultaneously for both phases. Discretisation has been done based on a finite volume method and a co-located variable storage scheme. An in-house computer code was developed to implement the numerical solution scheme. Detailed results are presented for laminar film condensation from steam-air mixtures flowing in vertical parallel-plate channels. The results include velocity and pressure profiles, as well as axial variations of film thickness, Nusselt number and interface gas mass fraction. Detailed comparisons are made with results from a parabolic solution approach.

Abstract This contribution is focused on a straight composite beam with multiple piezoelectric layers under the action of an axial support motion. In the sense of v. Karman a nonlinear formulation for the axial strain is used and the equations of motion are derived by means of the Hamilton formalism. This system turns out to be a special class of infinite dimensional systems, the so called Hamilton AI-systems with external inputs. In order to suppress the excited vibrations two infinite control laws are proposed. The first one is an infinite PD-feedback law and the second one is based on the nonlinear H∞-design, where an exact solution of the corresponding Hamilton Jacobi Isaacs equation is presented. The necessary quantities for the control laws can be measured by appropriate space-wise shaped sensors and the asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point can be proved.
