Vibration Reduction Performance of Damping-Enhanced Water-Lubricated Bearing Using Fluid-Saturated Perforated Slabs

Active vibration damping of water chuck : a feasibility study

Design The feasibility study, focuses on building up knowledge of and experience with the technology of using the "d31-effect" of piezoelectric material to damp the internal vibrations of the system. The investigation starts by specifying the mathematical relations that describes the piezoelectric "d31-effect" and particularising these relations for the actuator and sensor situation. The two vi...

Enhanced transmission through metallic plates perforated by arrays of subwavelength holes and sandwiched between dielectric slabs

This paper presents analytical and numerical studies demonstrating that a perfectly conducting metallic plate perforated by a periodic array of subwavelength holes and sandwiched in between two dielectric slabs permits enhanced transmission of electromagnetic plane waves in both the optical and microwave regimes, and this for both transverse magnetically and electrically polarized fields. The e...

Robot Vibration Control Using Inertial Damping Forces

Viscous damping of perforated planar micromechanical structures.

The paper gives an analytical approximation to the viscous damping coefficient due to the motion of a gas between a pair of closely spaced fluctuating plates in which one of the plates contains a regular system of circular holes. These types of structures are important parts of many microelectromechanical devices realized in MEMS technology as microphones, microaccelerometers, resonators, etc.T...

The Effect of Damping and Stiffness of Bearing on the Natural Frequencies of Rotor-bearing System

In this paper, the effectiveness of stiffness and damping of bearing is investigated on the natural frequencies of the rotor-bearing system. The rotor-bearing system consists of a shaft, two bearings and a disk between two bearings. Parallel spring-damper in horizental and vertical directions is considered for modeling the stiffness and damping of bearings. The gyroscopic effect is also conside...
