Currently, the interest in monitoring the vibration of dynamical systems has been increasing. For example, large and complex air and space structures include vibration monitoring systems to forecast sudden failures. Such vibration monitoring is used to diagnose structural health by analyzing vibration characteristics (such as frequency and amplitude). Among the vibration characteristics used, t...

The forced vibration of the 2D NASA flutter compressor cascade is numerically simulated in full scale with parallel computation technique. The compressor cascade consists of 9 blades bounded by 2 wind tunnel side walls. The implicit line Gauss-Seidel iteration with dual time stepping is employed. The turbulence is modeled with the Baldwin-Lomax model. A newly developed high resolution efficient...

In this paper, free and forced vibration of simply-supported Single-walled carbon nanotube is investigated under the moving nanoparticle by considering nonlocal cylindrical shell model. To validate the theoretical results, modal analysis of nanotube is conducted using ANSYS commercial software. Excellent agreement is exhibited between the results of two different methods. Furthermore, the dynam...

in this paper, the effects of transverse cracks on rotating shaft were studied. according to earlier works, crack shaft failure decrease the critical speed of the shaft and also exhibit a nonlinear vibration behaviour leading to increases the amplitude of 1x and 2x harmonics (first and second order of rotational speed in torsional vibration). this suggests that the application of order analysis...

We successfully synthesized a family of alginate/polyacrylamide hydrogels using various multivalent cations. These hydrogels exhibit exceptional mechanical properties. In particular, we discovered that the hydrogels cross-linked by trivalent cations are much stronger than those cross-linked by divalent cations. We demonstrate stretchability and toughness of the hydrogels by inflating a hydrogel...

The forced vibration behaviors are examined for nonlocal strain gradient nanobeams with surface effects subjected to a moving harmonic load travelling with a constant velocity in terms of three beam models namely, the Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and modified Timoshenko beam models. The modification for nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko nanobeams is exerted to the constitutive equations by exc...

Tests that allow the precise determination of psychophysical thresholds for vibration and grating orientation provide valuable information about mechanosensory function that are relevant for clinical diagnosis as well as for basic research. Here, we describe two psychophysical tests designed to determine the vibration detection threshold (automated system) and tactile spatial acuity (handheld d...
