in this paper, a consistent pattern with the optimal coordinated design of pss and sssc controller to improve the damping of low frequency oscillations is shown. in this design, sensing and signal transmission time delays are considered as effectiveness parameters. the design problem has been considered an optimization problem and biogeography-based optimization (bbo) algorithm is used for sear...

the aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design ofstatcom in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (lfo). the design ofoutput feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according with the time domain-basedobjective function which is solved by a honey bee mating optimization algorithm (hbmo...

For satellite applications the determination of the correct dynamic behaviour and in particular the structural damping is important to assess the vibration environment for the spacecraft subsystems and ultimately their capability to withstand the launch vibration environment. Therefore, the object of this investigation is to experimentally analyse a range of aluminium panel configurations to st...

Yaw damper represents a major source of excitation for flexural vibration of the railway carbody. In order to reduce transmissibility of such undesired excitation, yaw damper should allow for large force transmission at low working frequencies, but should behave as vibration isolator at high working frequencies. Unfortunately, the yaw oil damper (OD), which is nowadays in service, has poor intr...

The simulation results for electromagnetic energy harvesters (EMEHs) under broad band stationary Gaussian random excitations indicate the importance of both a high transformation factor and a high mechanical quality factor to achieve favourable mean power, mean square load voltage, and output spectral density. The optimum load is different for random vibrations and for sinusoidal vibration. Red...

The undamped naturalfrequency CO, and the damping ratio [ can be determined from a plot of the jiee motion of the system. If the damping is light, ( < 0.2, the lqqarithmic decrement can be used to determine the coeficients. Systems with moderate damping are those in the range 0.2 < ( -C 1.2. A methodfor determining vibration parameters for systems with moderate damping is presented here. The me...

Continuous carbon fiber composites with enhanced mechanical energy dissipation (vibration damping) under flexure are provided by incorporation of fillers between the laminae. Exfoliated graphite (EG) as a sole filler is more effective than carbon nanotube (SWCNT/ MWCNT), halloysite nanotube (HNT), or nanoclay as sole fillers in enhancing the loss tangent, if the curing pressure is 2.0 (not 0.5)...

Application of Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers in semi-active vibration dynamics control of a multi-cart system is studied. The dynamics and vibration behaviour of a two cart system is investigated mathematically and an experimental test-rig is employed to verify the model, experimentally. The Bouc-Wen model is utilized to represent the mathematical behaviour of MR damper. Different types of s...
