The behavior of a system comprised of two parallel plates coupled by a discrete, linear spring and damper is studied. Classical Modal Analysis (CMA) is used to illustrate this behavior, while specifically observing the effects of varying the stiffness and damping ratio of the coupling elements. Conditions under which the coupling may be approximated as rigid are identified. Additionally, conditions under which the coupling displacement reaches its maximum and minimum values are identified. This work also lays the groundwork for extending Asymptotic Modal Analysis (AMA) to systems with discrete, elastic, and dissipative coupling.

Plate System

The root-mean-square (RMS) response of various points in a system comprised of two parallel plates coupled at a point undergoing high frequency, broadband transverse point excitation of one component is considered. Through this prototypical example, asymptotic modal analysis (AMA) is extended to two coupled continuous dynamical systems. It is shown that different points on the plates respond with different RMS magnitudes depending on their spatial relationship to the excitation or coupling points in the system. The ability of AMA to accurately compute the RMS response of these points (namely, the excitation point, the coupling points, and the hot lines through the excitation or coupling points) in the system is shown. The behavior of three representative prototypical configurations of the parallel plate system considered is: two similar plates (in both geometry and modal density), two plates with similar modal density but different geometry, and two plates with similar geometry but different modal density. After examining the error between reduced modal methods (such as AMA) to classical modal analysis (CMA), it is determined that these several methods are valid for each of these scenarios. The data from the various methods will also be useful in evaluating the accuracy of other methods including statistical energy analysis (SEA).

Stiffness And Damping

As human occupancy has an enormous effect on the dynamics of light, flexible, large-span, low-damping structures, which are sensitive to human-induced vibrations, it is essential to investigate the effects of pedestrian–structure interaction. The single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mass–spring–damping (MSD) model, the simplest dynamical model that considers how pedestrian mass, stiffness and damping impact the dynamic properties of structures, is widely used in civil engineering. With field testing methods and the SDOF MSD model, this study obtained pedestrian dynamics parameters from measured data of the properties of both empty structures and structures with pedestrian occupancy. The parameters identification procedure involved individuals at four walking frequencies. Body frequency is positively correlated to the walking frequency, while a negative correlation is observed between the body damping ratio and the walking frequency. The test results further show a negative correlation between the pedestrian’s frequency and his/her weight, but no significant correlation exists between one’s damping ratio and weight. The findings provide a reference for structural vibration serviceability assessments that would consider pedestrian–structure interaction effects.

Stiffness And Damping

Stiffness and damping of hydrostatic guideways are calculated by small perturbation method based on Reynolds equation in dynamic regime. The hydrostatic guideway is considered as a system which consists of the mass, the spring and the damper. The effects of some main parameters on stiffness, damping and damping ratio are analyzed which include the supply pressure, the film thickness, the pad dimension, the pressure ratio, the lubricating oil volume and the lubricating oil viscosity. The relationships between the settling time of the hydrostatic guideways and these parameters are investigated under a step load. It is shown that the slide block returns to equilibrium without overshooting under a step load, and the amplitude of the block vibration has not a maximum value under a cyclic load, due to the large damping effect( ξ>1). In addition, the settling time can be shorten with the increase of the supply pressure, the film thickness and the lubricating oil volume, and also with the decrease of the pressure ratio and the lubricating oil viscosity. The settling time get the shortest value when recess parameter( α) is 0.55.
