The Relationship

Strictly speaking, internal damping of alloy materials is a function of temperature, frequency, strain and strain time rate and so on. Most of the previous papers with regard to damping computing only give a volumetric average when the alloy material is subjected to alternative stress. They cannot accurately describe the natural characteristic of damping. In this paper, the moving autoregressive model method (MARM) is presented to research the relationship between loss factor, strain and frequency of the alloys (Al-33Zn-6Si and Zn-27Al-1Cu). The experimental results show that the loss factor of alloy increases with the increasing strain, and increases with the increasing frequency in low-frequency region (below 400Hz). The damping appears strong nonlinear behavior. The three-dimension graph of the loss factor versus strain and frequency provides useful information for the optimum design of machine parts made from damping alloy.

Versus Strain

This paper presents two methods for the identification of nonlinear internal damping of alloy. One is the moving autoregressive model (MARM) method, and the other is the time-varying autoregressive model (TVARM) method. These procedures have been successfully implemented on two numerical examples. Comparison between simulation results demonstrates that the computation accuracy of the TVARM method is higher than that of the MARM method. In the experiments, the internal damping properties of the alloy Al-33Zn-6Si are researched, employing the rectangle beam with a nonuniform stress field and the trapezoid beam with a quasi-uniform stress field, respectively. Experimental results show that the internal damping of the alloy increases with the increasing strain and appears a nonlinear behavior. Moreover, the damping values of the trapezoid beam are relatively higher than those of the rectangle beam. Compared to the MARM method, the TVARM method can give a better description of nonlinear damping because the relation curve of loss factor versus strain obtained by the TVARM method is smoother than that obtained by the MARM method.

The Relationship

This paper presents a novel quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolator designed by combining a tension spring with a vertical linear spring. In order to improve the performance of low-frequency vibration isolation, geometric nonlinear damping is proposed and applied to a quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator. Through the study of static characteristics first, the relationship between force displacement and stiffness displacement of the vibration isolation mechanism is established; it is concluded that the parameters of the mechanism have the characteristics of quasi-zero stiffness at the equilibrium position. The solutions of the QZS system are obtained based on the harmonic balance method (HBM). Then, the force transmissibility of the QZS vibration isolator is analyzed. And the results indicate that increasing the nonlinear damping can effectively suppress the transmissibility compared with the nonlinear damping system. Finally, this system is innovative for low-frequency vibration isolation of rehabilitation robots and other applications.

It is possible to exceed the guaranteed resolution on most electron microscopes by careful attention to microscope parameters essential for high resolution work. While our experience is related to a Philips EM-200, we hope that some of these comments will apply to all electron microscopes.The first considerations are vibration and magnetic fields. These are usually measured at the pre-installation survey and must be within specifications. It has been our experience, however, that these factors can be greatly influenced by the new facilities and therefore must be rechecked after the installation is completed. The relationship between the resolving power of an EM-200 and the maximum tolerable low frequency interference fields in milli-Oerstedt is 10 Å - 1.9, 8 Å - 1.4, 6 Å - 0.8.

The Relationship

In the viper boa (Candoia aspera), the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shows two stable overlapping patterns of pulsations: low-frequency (0.08 Hz) pulses with a mean amplitude of 4.1 mmHg that correspond to the ventilatory cycle, and higher-frequency (0.66 Hz) pulses with a mean amplitude of 1.2 mmHg that correspond to the cardiac cycle. Manual oscillations of anesthetized C. aspera induced propagating sinusoidal body waves. These waves resulted in a different pattern of CSF pulsations with frequencies corresponding to the displacement frequency of the body and with amplitudes greater than those of the cardiac or ventilatory cycles. After recovery from anesthesia, the snakes moved independently using lateral undulation and concertina locomotion. The episodes of lateral undulation produced similar influences on the CSF pressure as were observed during the manual oscillations, though the induced CSF pulsations were of lower amplitude during lateral undulation. No impact on the CSF was found while C. aspera was performing concertina locomotion. The relationship between the propagation of the body and the CSF pulsations suggests that the body movements produce an impulse on the spinal CSF.

Recently, spherical microphone arrays (SMA) have become increasingly significant for source localization and identification in three dimension due to its spherical symmetry. However, conventional Spherical Harmonic Beamforming (SHB) based on SMA has limitations, such as poor resolution and high side-lobe levels in image maps. To overcome these limitations, this paper employs the iterative generalized inverse beamforming algorithm with a virtual extrapolated open spherical microphone array. The sidelobes can be suppressed and the main-lobe can be narrowed by introducing the two iteration processes into the generalized inverse beamforming (GIB) algorithm. The instability caused by uncertainties in actual measurements, such as measurement noise and configuration problems in the process of GIB, can be minimized by iteratively redefining the form of regularization matrix and the corresponding GIB localization results. In addition, the poor performance of microphone arrays in the low-frequency range due to the array aperture can be improved by using a virtual extrapolated open spherical array (EA), which has a larger array aperture. The virtual array is obtained by a kind of data preprocessing method through the regularization matrix algorithm. Both results from simulations and experiments show the feasibility and accuracy of the method.

The Relationship

Abstract An accurate diagnosis of ocean heat content (OHC) is essential for interpreting climate variability and change, as evidenced for example by the broad range of hypotheses that exists for explaining the recent hiatus in global mean surface warming. Potential insights are explored here by examining relationships between OHC and sea surface height (SSH) in observations and two recently available large ensembles of climate model simulations from the mid-twentieth century to 2100. It is found that in decadal-length observations and a model control simulation with constant forcing, strong ties between OHC and SSH exist, with little temporal or spatial complexity. Agreement is particularly strong on monthly to interannual time scales. In contrast, in forced transient warming simulations, important dependencies in the relationship exist as a function of region and time scale. Near Antarctica, low-frequency SSH variability is driven mainly by changes in the circumpolar current associated with intensified surface winds, leading to correlations between OHC and SSH that are weak and sometimes negative. In subtropical regions, and near other coastal boundaries, negative correlations are also evident on long time scales and are associated with the accumulated effects of changes in the water cycle and ocean dynamics that underlie complexity in the OHC relationship to SSH. Low-frequency variability in observations is found to exhibit similar negative correlations. Combined with altimeter data, these results provide evidence that SSH increases in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans during the hiatus are suggestive of substantial OHC increases. Methods for developing the applicability of altimetry as a constraint on OHC more generally are also discussed.

Abstract Low frequency sound attenuation is often pursued using Helmholtz resonators (HRs). The introduction of a compliant wall around the acoustic cavity results in a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) system capable of more broadband sound absorption. In this study, we report the amplitude-dependent dynamic response of a compliant walled HR and investigate the effectiveness of wall compliance to improve the absorption of sound in linear and nonlinear regimes. The acoustic-structure interactions between the conventional Helmholtz resonator and the compliant wall result in non-intuitive responses when acted on by nonlinear amplitudes of excitation pressure. This paper formulates and studies a reduced order model to characterize the nonlinear dynamic response of the 2DOF HR with a compliant wall compared to that of a conventional rigid HR. Validated by experimental evidence, the modeling framework facilitates an investigation of strategies to achieve broadband sound attenuation, including by selection of wall material, wall thickness, geometry of the HR, and other parameters readily tuned by system design. The results open up new avenues for the development of efficient acoustic resonators exploiting the deflection of a compliant wall for suppression of extreme noise amplitudes.

Occupational Hearing Loss

Annotation. On the example of railway and air transport, a number of new issues of occupational hearing loss are shown, requiring study and subsequent implementation in practical health care, as new etiological factors in the development of hearing loss. This concerns the factor of labor intensity, which has a potentiating, pathogenetic significance, along with noise, in the development of hearing loss due to the formation of chronic stress, leading to additional ischemia of the vascular stria and damage to the neuroepithelium of the inner ear. There is a need, along with the development of a methodology for assessing the factor of labor intensity for SOUT of workplaces, to determine the criteria for its negative action when used for the examination of the connection between the disease of the organ of hearing and the profession. In the «List of occupational diseases» in clause 2.4.2. indicated diseases associated with exposure to infrasound (IZ), among the manifestations of which, called sensorineural hearing loss bilateral. However, IZ, as well as low-frequency noise (LFN), were not previously considered as significant adverse factors in relation to the hearing organ in mass clinical trials, therefore, there are no expert criteria for the relationship between hearing loss and their impact, which could be applied in practice, which requires accumulation of evidence base for the subsequent substantiation of an independent nosological form of a disease of the organ of hearing, associated with mechanoacoustic exposure.

The Relationship

Human body surface vibration induced by low-frequency noise was measured at the forehead, the chest and the abdomen. At the same time, subjects rated their vibratory sensation at each of these locations. The relationship between the measured vibration on the body surface and the rated vibratory sensation was examined, revealing that the vibratory sensations perceived in the chest and abdomen correlated closely with the vibration acceleration levels of the body surface vibration. This suggested that a person exposed to low-frequency noise perceives vibration at the chest or abdomen by sensing the mechanical vibration that the noise induces in the body. At the head, on the other hand, it was found that the vibratory sensation correlated comparably with the vibration acceleration level of the body surface vibration and the sound pressure level of the noise stimulus. This finding suggested that the mechanism of perception of vibration in the head is different from that of the perception of vibratory sensation in the chest and the abdomen.
