In this study, nonlocal nonlinear instability and the vibration of a double carbon nanotube (CNT) system have been investigated. The Visco-Pasternak model is used to simulate the elastic medium between nanotubes, on which the effect of the spring, shear and damping of the elastic medium is considered. Both of the CNTs convey a viscose fluid and a uniform longitudinal magnetic field is applied t...

Stiffness degradation and damping represent some of the most well-known aspects of cyclic soil behavior. While standard equivalent linear approaches reproduce these features by (separately) prescribing stiffness reduction and damping curves, in this paper a multiaxial visco-elastic-plastic model is developed for the simultaneous simulation of both cyclic curves over a wide cyclic shear strain r...

Large conduit arteries are not purely elastic, but viscoelastic, which affects not only the mechanical behavior but also the ventricular afterload. Different hysteresis loops such as pressure-diameter, pressure-luminal cross-sectional area (LCSA), and stress-strain have been used to estimate damping capacity, which is associated with the ratio of the dissipated energy to the stored energy. Typi...

The identifiability of the two damping components of a Generalized Rayleigh Damping model is investigated through analysis of the continuum equilibrium equations as well as a simple spring-mass system. Generalized Rayleigh Damping provides a more diversified attenuation model than pure Viscoelasticity, with two parameters to describe attenuation effects and account for the complex damping behav...

Among the passive control techniques for vibration attenuation in composite structures demonstrated in the last decades, the use of viscoelastic material as a damping core in laminated beam like components is an interesting possibility but has not yet received sufficient attention so far. In order to gain an insight into this interest and develop more accurate and efficient viscoelastic-based v...
