semi-active base isolation system has been proposed mainly to mitigate the base drift of isolated structures while in most cases, its application causes the maximum acceleration of superstructure to be increased. in this paper, designing optimal semi-active base isolation system composed of linear base isolation system with low damping and magneto-rheological (mr) damper has been studied for co...

An end milling process is widely used in fabrication of complex contours and shape parts at high spindle speeds. Many researchers try to investigate one of important aspect, which come across during machining is the self exited chatter vibration which causes severe damage of the tool and quality of the machined surface. The present work is focused on the Magneto-Rheological Damping effect on st...

Vibrations is an extremely important issue to consider when designing various systems. It may lead to discomfort and malfunction or in some cases collapse of structures. To compensate for these vibrations different types of damping devices can be applied. The main focus which the following work addresses has been to look at standard methodology which enables determining the hysteresis from defi...

Human gait is characterized by periodic repetitions of two phases: a stance phase in which a foot is in contact with the ground, followed by a swing phase in which the lower limb swings through after toe-off. The functional necessities of above-knee prostheses are to provide knee locking during the stance phase and damping during the swing phase. Most of the conventional above-knee prostheses a...

The simplest model possible for bouncing systems consists of a point mass bouncing passively on a mass-less spring without viscous losses. This type of spring-mass model has been used to describe the stance period of symmetric running gaits. In this study, we investigated the interaction between horse and rider at trot using three models of force-driven spring (-damper)-mass systems. The first ...

This paper proposes a new method for real-time rigid body simulations for haptic interactions based on a penalty method regarding contact volume. Analytical methods for calculation of contact forces require too much time to maintain fast update rates for haptic controls. In addition, they prohibit direct connection of haptic interfaces. Penalty methods, which employ spring-damper models for cal...

In his new commentary, Damper re-emphasises his claim that parity is not a generalisation problem. But when proper account is taken of the arguments he puts forward, we nd that the proposed conclusion is not the only one that can be drawn. In adding the word`still' to the title of his ongoing commentary, Damper re-emphasises his claim that`parity is not a generalisation problem.' His view is th...

This research paper represents the analysis and simulation of semi-active suspension using non-linear modeling Magneto-Rheological (MR) with consideration hysteresis behavior for a quarter car model. The is based on assumption that each wheel experiences same disturbance excitation. Hysteresis analyzed Bingham, Dahl's, Bouc-Wen models. focuses passive, Dahl, models five road profiles. desired d...

In this paper, we describe the design and manufacturing of a viscous inertial mass-damper (VIMD) prototype. The damper parameters, mass, damping coefficient can be continuously adjusted. Experimental validations were carried out on VIMD with various parameters scaled sagged cable 19.47 m long for vibration mitigation, along simulation study using finite element method (FEM). experimental result...

Propeller-induced longitudinal vibration resonance in marine propulsion shafting systems causes great harm to the hull structure and is primary source of shipboard noise. Integrating a friction damper with designed parameters into thrust bearings can prevent these issues. To investigate performance damper-integrated bearing transmission control, an experimental theoretical study carried out lab...
