In this paper modeling of rotating seal and friction damper is explained using NX7.5 and ANSYS130x64 software. Modeling of any component is very important in analysis of the component. Analysis of rotating seal and damper is carried out using ANSYS130x64 to calculate stiffness of friction damper. Various authors explained methods to calculate stiffness of friction damper. In this paper a method...

This paper presents results from a comprehensive experimental program on fluid dampers in an effort to extract their force output during cyclic loading by simply measuring the strain on the damper housing and the end-spacer of the damper. The paper first discusses the path of stresses within the damper and subsequently via the use of elasticity theory shows that the experimental data obtained w...

Magneto-rheological damper (MR damper) has been expected to control the response of civil and building structures in recent years, because of its large force capacity and controllable force characteristics. Recent study is to the application of controllable dampers for reducing earthquake response of buildings and/or wind induced sway. The dynamic characteristics of the MR damper have to be cla...

Damping in reflexively active and areflexive lengthening muscle evaluated with inertial loads. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 3369-3372, 1998. Studies of active areflexive muscle have shown that during a constant velocity stretch the increment in force elicited by an incremental length change falls dramatically after a few hundred micrometers of stretch, a finding labeled as "muscle yield." The mechanica...

Abstract This paper presents a study of viscous torsional vibration damper for crankshaft four-stroke diesel engine. The reliable operation widely used silicone-type depends on the ability silicone oil to absorb energy vibrations. non-Newtonian shear flow interlayer, characterised by reduction in shear-rate-dependent viscosity and moment drag forces, negatively affects damping characteristics. ...

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers have a virtue over conventional dampers, where their damping properties can be adjusted using magnetic field. However, MR been barely implemented in small vibratory systems, which the modal mass and stiffness are relatively small. This is due to two major reasons, namely its high parasitic force big moving mass. When such an damper installed system, system‘s defa...

Wave-induced oscillations of submerged horizontal plates are studied by conducting laboratory experiments and developing theoretical computational models. These models include a linear solver based on the Green-function method, nonlinear model Green–Naghdi wave equations, fluid dynamics. The plate oscillates in vertical direction due to oscillatory loads. Oscillations controlled use spring-damp...

This paper presents an implementation of a nonlinear optimal-based wind turbine tower vibration control method. An NREL 5.0 MW tower-nacelle model equipped with hybrid tuned absorber (HTVA) is analysed against the magnetorheological TVA (MRTVA). For purposes, 3 kN active actuator in parallel passive used HTVA system, while MR damper built MRTVA instead viscous damper, as standard TVA. All force...
