Fluid motion and pressure fields induced by vibrating spheres are frequently used to investigate the function of biological mechanosensory systems and artificial sensors. The calibration of the sphere motion amplitude (displacement, velocity, acceleration), time course and vibration direction often demands expensive equipment. To mitigate this requirement, we have developed a high-quality, low-...

Free vibration of layered circular cylindrical shells of variable thickness is studied using spline function approximation by applying a point collocation method. The shell is made up of uniform layers of isotropic or specially orthotropic materials. The equations of motions in longitudinal, circumferential and transverse displacement components, are derived using extension of Love’s first appr...

A piezoelectric vibration feeder with a magnetic spring is discussed in this paper. The feeder can keep resonance frequency relatively stable under changing loading. Through the analysis on the working principle and magnetic spring stiffness characteristic of this feeder, the dynamic model was established and the relationship among system resonance frequency, loading and magnetic spring stiffne...

Vibration of nuclear power plant components can cause fretting wear and fatigue that eventually lead to component failure. Flexible, high-aspect-ratio under flow, such as the wire-wrapped cylindrical fuel elements in a liquid metal-cooled fast reactor core, are particularly susceptible vibration due their low natural frequencies. The flow-induced vibrations experienced by tend be random amplitu...

The lost of nonentun and stiffness due to ablation nay significantly influence the vibrations of a solid propellant grain. This paper presents an analytical study of the axial shear vibrations of a long hollow cylinder that is subjected to tine dependent body forces in the axial direction. The outer surface of the cylinder is bonded to a rigid case, and the inner radius increases monotonically ...
