The half-power bandwidth method is usually used to calculate structural damping parameters by frequency response function (FRF). In this note, the half-power bandwidth methods for the displacement FRF, the velocity FRF, and the acceleration FRF are proposed based on viscous and hysteretic damping models, respectively. Comparison results show that the application conditions of half-power bandwidth methods for the displacement and acceleration FRFs are limited. They can only be used to calculate the small damping ratio/loss factor. The application condition of half-power bandwidth method for the velocity FRF is not limited. It can be used to calculate the large or small damping ratio/loss factor, which should be the first choice for calculating damping parameters. Besides, when the damping ratio is less than 0.2546 or the loss factor is less than 0.5658, the relative difference between the loss factor and twice the damping ratio is less than 10%. With the increase of the damping ratio or loss factor, the relative difference will increase rapidly, and the approximate relationship is no longer applicable.

In this paper TiN coating was prepared on stainless steel substrate using arc ion plating technique. The coating samples’ phases, surface morphology, micro-determination chemical composition, loss factor and damping ratio were tested. The phases of TiN coating were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the TiN coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), respectively. The damping performance of the samples was measured by hammering activation according half power bandwidth method. The loss factor or damping ratio of samples were obtained according frequency response curve. The results showed that damping performance of samples was considerably improved by TiN coatings.

The article studies the energy method for determining loss factor due to hysteretic damping in systems of vibration and seismic isolation. Typical measure of damping is, where φ is the phase angle between stress and strain sinusoids [1], or damping constant δ ( [2, 3]). Both of these parameters are acquired through experimental investigations for each type of boundary conditions or element’s cross section. Proposed energy method is capable of loss factor ψ determination for different types of beams based on only one experimental investigation. This method is used in the paper to determine the damping ratio of elastic element in vibration isolation system of precision equipment.

This paper presents the results of full-scale field tests on two steel guyed latticed towers. The towers were approximately 83 m in height, were guyed at three levels, and were of bolted angle construction. The observed results consist of the natural frequencies of the first two modes of vibration as well as the damping ratio for the first mode. The observed results are compared with analytical predictions and observations made concerning the contributions of structural and cable action to the damping ratio.

In this paper, we prepared foaming silicon rubber (PVMQ) /isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) composites with chemical foaming technology. The DMA tests results showed that these foaming materials have effective damping characteristics in a wide temperature range. With the special vibrator, we found that the PVMQ/IIR foams that we prepared were the damping materials which has wide frequency domain, because they can keep high damping ratio in a wide frequency domain. When the preloading was between 1.0 mm and 1.7 mm, the structural damping did not change obviously. According to tests, we found that the damping ratio of these foams was fit to the simple equation .

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.

Abstract. Vertical profiles of stratospheric bromine monoxide (BrO) retrieved daily from ENVISAT/SCIAMACHY (ENVIronmental SATellite/SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY) limb scatter data and from ground-based UV-visible observations performed at Harestua (60° N, 11° E), Observatoire de Haute-Provence (44° N, 5.5° E), and Lauder (45° S, 170° E) are compared in the 15–27 km altitude range for the 2002–2006, 2005–2006, and 2002–2005 periods, respectively. At the three stations, the SCIAMACHY and ground-based UV-visible mean profiles agree reasonably well, with relative difference smaller than 23%. When comparing the BrO partial columns, the agreement obtained is good, with mean relative differences smaller than 11% and corresponding standard deviations in the 13–19% range. These comparison results are obtained, however, using different BrO cross sections in SCIAMACHY limb and ground-based UV-visible retrievals. The seasonal variation of the BrO columns at the three stations is consistently captured by both retrievals as well as large BrO column events occurring during the winter and early spring at Harestua which are associated with bromine activation.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate two-phase damping in tube arrays. The objective was to compare different measurement methodologies in order to obtain a more reliable damping estimate. This will allow for improved guidelines related to failures due to fluidelastic instability in tube bundles. The methods compared were the traditionally used half-power bandwidth, the logarithmic decrement and an exponential fitting to the tube decay response. The working fluid used was Refrigerant 11 (Freon), which better models the real steam-water problem, as it allows for phase change. The void fraction was measured using a gamma densitometer, introducing an improvement over the traditional Homogeneous Equilibrium Model (HEM) in terms of velocity and density predictions. The results obtained by using the half-power bandwidth method agree with data previously reported for two-phase flow. The experiments showed that the half-power bandwidth produces higher damping values than the other two, but only up to a certain void fraction. After that point, the results obtained from the three methods are very similar. The exponential fitting proved to be more consistent than the logarithmic decrement, and it is not as sensitive as the half-power bandwidth to the frequency shifting caused by the change in added mass around the tube. By plotting the damping ratio as a function of void fraction, pitch mass flux and flow regime, we were able to verify that damping is more dependent on void fraction and flow regime than on mass flux.

A non-contact modal analysis method is implemented to estimate the structural damping ratios for four stacks of sheet-steel, each bound using a different method. The setup comprised the four subject stacks and, for comparison, two single homogeneous steel plates of the same length and width with thicknesses that approximated the layered stack heights. To carry out the modal analyses, each test item was hung to simulate a free-free boundary condition. A force and frequency adjustable impact hammer imparted transient vibration to each hanging test piece after which the local relative velocity for each one of an array of discrete target points across the entire length-to-width surface was measured using an optical transducer. Damping ratios were extracted from the frequency response curves using the half power bandwidth method. Comparing the results obtained for the layered sheet-steel stacks with those from the homogeneous steel plates showed that damping ratios and loss factors can be estimated using the proposed experimental technique. The consistent impacts and the elimination of test structure mass loading improves the accuracy of damping estimates. In comparison to the solid plates, the layered sheet-steel stacks were characterized by increased damping. The effect was most significant for the stack bound together by polymer rivets.

The damping characteristic and dynamic responses of the concrete-filled square steel tubular (CFST) columns were numerically investigated in this paper. Finite element iteration method in the hysteretic damping system for CFST materials was presented, and an improved method considering viscous damping dynamic equilibrium equation with hysteretic damping model was also proposed. Based on the proposed methods, the loss factor and dynamic response of CFST columns subjected to the earthquake and harmonic loadings were effectively calculated. The results indicate that the stress-dependent damping method induces a larger dynamic response, and the loss factor of the CFST columns increases with the increase of the stress amplitude and lower steel ratio.
