This paper demonstrates damage detection in a smart sandwich panel with integrated piezoceramic transducers. The panel is built from a chiral honeycomb and two composite skins. A low-profile, surface-bonded piezoceramic transducer is used for high-frequency ultrasonic excitation. Low-frequency excitation is performed using a piezoceramic stack actuator. Ultrasonic sensing is performed using laser vibrometry. Nonlinear acoustics is applied for damage detection. The study is focused on sensor location analysis with respect to vibro-acoustic wave modulations. The paper demonstrates that when structure is damaged, the high-frequency “weak” ultrasonic wave is modulated by the low-frequency “strong” vibration wave. As a result frequency sidebands can be observed around the main acoustic harmonic in the spectrum of the ultrasonic signal. However, intensity of modulation strongly depends on sensor location.

This paper demonstrates impact damage detection in a composite sandwich panel. The panel is built from a chiral honeycomb and two composite skins. Chiral structures are a subset of auxetic solids exhibiting counterintuitive deformation mechanism and rotative but not reflective symmetry. Damage detection is performed using nonlinear acoustics,involves combined vibro-acoustic interaction of high-frequency ultrasonic wave and low-frequency vibration excitation. High-and low-frequency excitations are introduced to the panel using a low-profile piezoceramic transducer and an electromagnetic shaker, respectively. Vibro-acoustic modulated responses are measured using laser vibrometry. The methods used for impact damage detection clearly reveal de-bonding in the composite panel. The high-frequency weak ultrasonic wave is also modulated by the low-frequency strong vibration wave when nonlinear acoustics is used for damage detection. As a result frequency sidebands can be observed around the main acoustic harmonic in the spectrum of the ultrasonic signal.

In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical model is developed to investigate the effect of rail pad stiffness on the wheel/rail force in a slab track with harmonic irregularity. The model consists of a vehicle, nonlinear Hertz spring, rail, rail pad, concrete slab, resilient layer, concrete base, and subgrade. The rail is simulated using the Timoshenko beam element for considering the effects of high-frequency excitation produced by short-wave irregularity. The results obtained from the model are compared with those available in the literature and from the field to prove the validity of the model. Through a parametric study, the effect of variations in rail pad stiffness, vehicle speed, and harmonic irregularity on the wheel/rail force is investigated. For the slab track without any irregularity, the wheel/rail force is at maximum when the vehicle speed reaches the critical speed. As the rail pad stiffness increases, the critical speed increases. When the amplitude of irregularity is high, wheel jumping phenomenon may occur. In this situation, as the vehicle speed and rail pad stiffness are increased, the dynamic wheel/rail force is increased. In the low-frequency range, the wheel/rail force increases as the rail pad stiffness increases. In the high-frequency range, the wheel/rail force increases as the rail pad stiffness is decreased.

The purpose of this study was to develop a model of the dynamic behavior of a hydraulic vehicle double-tube shock absorber. The model accounts for the effects of compressibility, valve stiction, inertia, etc. and can be suitable for use in the analyses on flow-induced pressure fluctuations in the device. The author highlights all major variables to influence the output of the shock absorber, and then proceeds by performing a series of simulations using the developed model. The model is demonstrated to operate well in the large amplitude and low frequency range as well as the small amplitude and high frequency excitation operation regimes. The results are presented in the form of time histories of pressures in each fluid volume of the damper, flow rates through the valves, piston rod acceleration and force. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) graphs are presented, too, in order to identify major components of the pressure fluctuation phenomena in frequency domain.

Frequency Excitation

The experiment was carried out to study the low frequency surface waves due to the horizontal high frequency excitation. The feature of the phenomenon was that the big amplitude axisymmetric surface wave frequency was typically about 1/50 of the excitation frequency. The viscous effect of water was neglected as a first approximation in the earlier papers on this subject. In contrast, we found the viscosity was important to achieve the low frequency water wave with the cooperation of hundreds of "finger" waves. Photographs were taken with stroboscopic lighting and thereafter relevant quantitative results were obtained based on the measurements with Polytec Scanning Vibrometer PSV 400.

High Frequency Resonance

A novel dual-band planar antenna with a low profile for mobile communication system is proposed in this paper. The antenna is composed of one shorted patch with two radiating notches for low frequency resonance and one square patch for high frequency resonance. The low profile is achieved via the shorting patch, which introduces the parallel electrical field between the reflector and antenna. A step-impedance microstrip line is used to feed the antenna. The coupling between the square patch and microstrip line cancels out the inductance of shorting probe, which increases the working bandwidth of proposed antenna. A prototype with a low profile of 0.0286λ is fabricated and measured. The antenna achieves dual impedance bandwidths of 1.6% for the low frequency band and 60% for the high frequency band, covering the frequency range 851–865 MHz and 1.97–3.65 GHz, respectively. The measured results show good agreements with the simulated ones.

Magnetic Skyrmions

AbstractBloch and Neel magnetic skyrmions have been studied in systems of confined geometry (nanodots, a linear array of nanodots). The spectra of low- and high-frequency excitation modes of a skyrmion state have been calculated. It has been shown that skyrmion spectrum asymmetry, namely, the characteristic difference between the frequencies of the azimuthal modes of the azimuthal skyrmion modes rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, is associated with asymmetry in the magnetization profiles of high-frequency spin waves propagating on the background of a skyrmion state in a nanodot. The low-frequency spectrum contains the only gyrotropic mode localized near the center of a nanodot. The gyrotropic frequency depends on the material parameters of a nanodot and the size of a skyrmion. The eigenfrequency of the gyrotropic mode of an isolated skyrmion in a nanodot in ultrathin films ( L ~ 1 nm) does not depend on the internal structure of a skyrmion and is the same for Bloch and Neel skyrmions. The interaction of skyrmions, in particular, in a linear chain of nanodots with the ground skyrmion state, leads to distinctions in low-frequency spectra. The structure of a skyrmion (of Bloch or Neel type) is exhibited as a shift of dispersion curves and a difference between the frequencies of ferromagnetic resonance in a system of interacting skyrmions.

The current research based on vibratory stress relief (VSR) is focused on low frequency excitation, but it is seldom mentioned for complex thin-walled workpiece with higher natural frequency. In this paper, the mechanism of high frequency VSR is studied by microdynamic theory. Aiming at the rotating frame of complex thin-walled workpiece in aerospace equipment, the high frequency VSR numerical simulation is carried out by finite element software Abaqus, the modal analysis technology and harmonic response analysis technology are proposed, and the exciting force, excitation frequency and other important parameters are determined. The simulation results are analyzed to verify the superiority of high frequency VSR to eliminate residual stresses of complex thin-walled workpieces, and provide a theoretical basis for optimal selection of excitation parameters for high frequency VSR.

A perspective of the mechanisms by which energy is transferred from high- to low-frequency modes is presented. The focus is on some recent experiments that reveal how a low-amplitude high-frequency excitation can produce a large-amplitude low-frequency response. Such a phenomenon is potentially harmful, if not catastrophic. Specifically, these experiments clarify the role of internal resonances, combination external and parametric resonances, and the interactions among modes of widely spaced frequencies.
