Mechanical Behaviors of a Buckling-Plate Self-Centering Friction Damper

Electro-Mechanical Buckling of a Piezoelectric Annular Plate Reinforced with BNNTs Under Thermal Environment

In this article, axisymmetric buckling behavior of piezoelectric fiber reinforced polymeric composite (PFRPC) annular plate subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical field is presented utilizing principle of minimum potential energy. Boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are used as fibers. Full coupling between electrical, mechanical and thermal fields are considered according to a representative volum...

Development of a New Semi-active Friction Damper

Mechanical Buckling of FG Saturated Porous Rectangular Plate with Piezoelectric Actuators

In this study buckling analysis of solid rectangular plate made of porous material bounded with the layers of piezoelectric actuators in undrained condition is investigated. Porous material properties vary through the thickness of plate with a specific function. Distributing of the pores through the plate thickness is assumed to be the nonlinear nonsymmetric distribution. The ...

Dynamic Modeling of Magnetorheological Damper Behaviors

Based on theoretical analysis and experiments, this article proposes a new model for a magnetorheological (MR) damper. The proposed model with a smooth and concise form can interpret the bi-viscous and hysteretic behaviors of the MR damper very well. The parameters in the model have definite physical meanings. The bi-viscous and hysteretic behaviors can be characterized by two parameters 0 and ...
