This paper makes comparative research on the effects of the self-healing microcapsules on the modal properties of composite disc brake pads. The two groups of composite brake samples are studied that the material of one brake sample is implanted by the microcapsules and the other sample has no microcapsule. Firstly, the computational modal analysis method based on finite element analysis software ANSYS is adopted to calculate the modal parameters of the samples, and the inherent vibration characteristics of the structures are obtained. Then the experimental modal analysis method with hammer is carried out to identify the experimental value of the modal parameters of the samples such as natural frequency and damping ratio. Finally, the theory analysis and experiment results from these two different methods are contrasted and analyzed. It indicates that the addition of the self-healing microcapsule improves the vibration reduction performance of the composite disc brake greatly.

Damping ratios associated with non-structural elements play an important role in mitigating the pedestrian-induced vibrations of slender footbridges. In particular, this paper analyses the effect of vinyl flooring on the modal parameters of steel footbridges. Motivated by the unexpected high experimental damping ratios of the first vibration modes of a real footbridge, whose deck was covered by a vinyl flooring, this paper aims at assessing more accurately the experimental damping ratios generated by this non-structural element on steel footbridges. For this purpose, a laboratory footbridge was built and vinyl flooring was installed on it. Its numerical and experimental modal parameters without and with the vinyl flooring were determined. The operational modal analysis method was used to estimate experimentally the modal parameters of the structure. The damping ratios associated with the vinyl flooring were obtained via the substraction between the experimental damping ratios of the laboratory footbridge with and without the vinyl flooring. An average increase of the damping ratios of 2.069% was observed due to the vinyl flooring installed. According to this result, this type of pavement may be a useful tool to significantly increase the damping ratios of steel footbridges in order to reduce pedestrian-induced vibrations.

The mechanical properties of self-healing composite gear with microcapsules can be effectively improved. Based on Finite Elements Analysis method, the modal analysis of three different formulations of composites gear have been carried out in order to explore effects of self-healing microcapsule on the modal parameters of a gear. The comparison of results shows that modulus ratio is one of important inflencing factors on the natural frequency of a gear. The study in this paper provides a good foundation for further research on self-healing composite gear.

X-axis and Y-axis workbenches are important parts of PCB drilling machine. Theirs dynamic properties directly affect the overall performance of drilling machine. Modal analysis method was adopted in this paper. Measurement and analysis on vibration of X-axis and Y-axis workbenches based on LMS Test. Lab was carried out. The modal parameters such as natural frequency, damping ratio and corresponding vibration modes were obtained. The results present that the X-axis and Y-axis workbenches have a high fundamental frequency, which is 564Hz and 1014Hz respectively. And the damping ratio is less than 4.91% and 2.99%, which shows that the stiffness of the X-axis and Y-axis workbenches are higher. The FEM modal analysis shows that it has the similar results with the experiments in modal parameters. The analysis of natural characteristics of workbench provides guidance for optimizing machining parameters of drilling and improving structure of workbench.

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a cantilever beam without and with crack is observed. An elastic Aluminum cantilever beams having surface crack at various crack positions are considered to analyze dynamically. Crack depth, crack length and crack location are the foremost parameters for describing the health condition of beam in terms of modal parameters such as natural frequency, mode shape and damping ratio. It is crucial to study the influence of crack depth and crack location on modal parameters of the beam for the decent performance and its safety. Crack or damage of structure causes a reduction in stiffness, an intrinsic reduction in resonant frequencies, variation of damping ratios and mode shapes. The broad examination of cantilever beam without crack and with crack has been done using Numerical analysis (Ansys18.0) and experimental modal analysis. To observe the exact higher modes of beam, discretize the beam into small elements. An experimental set up was established for cantilever beam having crack and it was excited by an impact hammer and finally the response was obtained using PCB accelerometer with the help sound and vibration toolkit of NI Lab-view. After obtaining the Frequency response functions (FRFs), the natural frequencies of beam are estimated using peak search method. The effectiveness of experimental modal analysis in terms of natural frequency is validated with numerical analysis results. This paper contains the study of free vibration analysis under the influence of crack at different points along the length of the beam.

The states of the machine tool, such as the components’ position and the spindle speed, play leading roles in the change of dynamic parameters. However, the traditional modal analysis method that modal parameters manually identified from vibration signal is greatly interfered by harmonics, and the process of eliminating interference is very inefficient and subjective. At present, there is a lack of a standard and efficient method to characterize modal parameter changes in different states of machine tools. This paper proposes a new machine tool modal classification analysis method based on clustering. The characteristics related to the modal parameters are extracted from the response signal in different states, and the clustering results are used to reflect the changes of machine tool modal parameters. After the amplitude of the frequency response function is normalized, the characteristics related to the natural frequency are acquired, and the clustering results further reflect the difference of the natural frequency of the signal. The new method based on clustering can be a standard and efficient method to characterize modal parameter changes in different states of machine tools.

In this paper, the simulation with ANSYS software and the experimental modal analysis by impacting are carried out on the electronic button-sewing machine shell. The modal parameters, such as the natural frequency, the damping ratio and the mode shape, are obtained. Comparative analysis of their results shows that the mode shapes of the machine shell are mainly the outward-expanding and inward-contracting vibrations, which provides a useful reference for vibration and noise reduction of the electronic button-sewing machine.

Acoustic system is the core component of power ultrasonic, which is designed by traditional analytic method and modal analysis with finite element analysis method. And component of the step-like horn with rectangular sections and tool head used in two dimension ultrasonic polishing without abrasives are studied, and the calculating results and modal analysis results are consistent on the whole. The harmonic response analysis for the component of horn and tool head is carried out and the three dimensional coordinates of the vibrating node on the tool head with maximal displacement are obtained. The fitting result shows that the moving trajectory of such node is ellipses, which meets the experimental requirement well. So a new way for designing acoustic system of two dimensional ultrasonic vibration through combining theoretical calculation with computer aided design may be applied.
