Hybrid mass damper: theoretical and experimental power flow analysis

experimental investigation of power consumption, mass transfer coefficient and flow regime in gas-liquid dispersion systems

Theoretical and experimental investigation into an adjustable automotive damper

A non-linear model of an adjustable automotive damper is developed, which includes the compressibility of the ̄uid, trapped gas and expansion of the cylinder. The parameters for the model are selected by ®tting the model to experimentally obtained data from the damper. The model is shown to give an excellent representation of the damper under investigation. The performance of the damper model i...

Power Flow in a Plate with an Attached Point Damper

due to flexural vibration flows from mechanical sources which can be transmitted /hrough a structure, such as an elastic plate, to another attached structure that is connected to the first at a single point. The connected structure can dissipate this energy through coupling to an acoustic medium or transmit it to yet a third structure. The objective of this work is to investigate the path of po...

Thermal Analysis of Shell-Side Flow of Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Using Experimental and Theoretical Methods

In this paper the thermal behavior of the shell-side flow of a shell-and-tufe heat exchanger has been studied using theoretical and experimental methods. The experimental method Provided the effect of the major parameters of the shell-side flow on thermal energy exchange. In the numerical method, besides the effect of the major paramerers, the effect of different geometric parameters and Re on ...

OPTIMAL HYBRID BASE ISOLATION AND MR DAMPER

In this paper, optimal design of hybrid low damping base isolation and magnetorheological (MR) damper has been studied. Optimal hybrid base isolation system has been designed to minimize the maximum base drift of low damping base isolation system where for solving the optimization problem, genetic algorithm (GA) has been used. In design procedure the maximum acceleration of the structure has ...
