The problem of a two-dimensional elastic system moving on a beam is considered. The moving elastic system or vehicle is represented by the structural members with distributed stiffness, damping, and inertia properties, and it is supported by the suspension units. Each suspension unit consists of a linear spring, a viscous damper, and an unsprung mass. The beam is supported at discrete points along its length, and/or by an elastic foundation. The deformations of the moving system and the beam are represented by their corresponding eigenfunction series. The resulting governing equations are represented by the coupled, ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. The equations of motion for an elastic platform moving with constant velocity on a beam are derived and solved by the Hamming’s predictor-corrector method. Numerical examples are presented.

In this paper, two models of elastic metamaterial containing one and two resonators are proposed to obtain the bandgaps with the aim of providing broadband vibration suppression. The model with one DOF is built by assembling several unite cells in which each unite cell consists of a rectangular frame as the base structure and a rack-and-pinion mechanism that is joined to the frame with a linear spring on both sides. In the second model with two DOF, a small mass is added while its center is attached to the center of the pinion on one side and the other side is connected to the rectangular frame via a linear spring. In the first mechanism, the pinion is considered as the single resonator, and in the 2DOF model, on the other hand, the pinion and small mass acted as multiple resonators. By obtaining the governing equations of motion for a single cell in each model, the dynamic behavior of two metastructures is thoroughly investigated. Therefore, the equations of motion for the two models are written in matrix form, and then, the dispersion relations are presented to analyze the influences of system parameters on the bandgaps’ starting/ending frequencies. Finally, two models are successfully compared and then numerically simulated via MATLAB-SIMULINK and MSC-ADAMS software. With the aid of closed-form expressions for starting/ending frequencies, the correlation between the system parameters and bandgap intervals can be readily recognized.

Abstract Studies have shown that isolators in the form of anti-vibration gloves effectively reduce the transmission of unwanted vibration from vibrating equipment to the human hand. However, as most of these studies are based on experimental or modeling techniques, the level of effectiveness and optimum glove properties for better performance remains unclear. To fill this gap, hand-arm system dynamics with and without gloves are studied analytically in this work. In the current work, we use a lumped parameter model of the hand-arm system, with hand-tool interaction modeled as a linear spring-damper system. The resulting governing equations of motion are solved analytically using the method of harmonic balance. Parametric analysisis performed on the biomechanical model of the hand-armsystem with and without a glove to identify key design pa-rameters. It is observed that the effect of glove parameters on its performance is not repetitive and changes in the studied different frequency ranges. This observation further motivates us to optimize the glove parameters to minimize the overall transmissibility in different frequency ranges.

In this paper a comprehensive theory is formulated for the dynamic response of structural members with a constitutive relation in the form of a hereditary integral. A modal approach is taken to uncouple the response due to an arbitrary excitation force and general nonhomogeneous surface tractions. The result of this theory is a general set of formulas which may be used for both nonself-adjoint and self-adjoint systems of governing equations of motion. This general formulation is applied to the specific cases of a Voigt-Kelvin beam and a viscoelastic circular plate.

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.

Lagrange’S Method

A lumped mass numerical model was developed which predicts the dynamic response of an inextensible mooring line during anchor-last deployment. The mooring line was modeled as a series of concentrated masses connected by massless inextensible links. A set of angles was used for displacement coordinates, and Lagrange’s Method was used to derive the equations of motion. The resulting formulation exhibited inertia coupling, which, for the predictor-corrector integration scheme used, required the solution of a set of linear simultaneous equations to determine the acceleration of each lumped mass. For the selected cases studied the results show that the maximum tension in the cable during deployment will not exceed twice the weight of the cable and anchor in water.

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.

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.

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>

Modified Couple Stress

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.
