This paper outlines a mathematical framework necessary to determine the optimal transducer force for a given vibration input. This relationship, between input vibration parameters and transducer force gives a critical first step in determining the optimal transducer architecture for a given vibration input. This relationship also yields a theoretical maximum energy output for a system with a gi...

The main purposes of the present work are devoted to the investigation of the free axial vibration, as well as the time-dependent and forced axial vibration of a SWCNT subjected to a moving load. The governing equation is derived through using Hamilton's principle. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory has been utilized to analyze the nonlocal behaviors of SWCNT. A Galerkin method based on a clo...

in this paper, free vibration of functionally graded rectangular simply supported thick plates based on two variable refined plate theory is presented. according to a power-law distribution, the mass density and elasticity modulus of the plate are considered to vary while poisson’s ratio is constant. in order to extract the five constitutive equations of motion, hamilton principle is employed. ...

the accuracy and efficiency of the elements proposed by finite element method (fem) considerably depend on the interpolating functions namely shape functions used to formulate the displacement field within the element. in the present study, novel functions, namely basic displacements functions (bdfs), are introduced and exploited for structural analysis of nanobeams using finite element method ...

In this study, the free vibration behavior of rotating nanobeam is studied.  Surface effects on the vibration frequencies of nanobeam are considered. To incorporate surface effects, Gurtin–Murdoch model is proposed to satisfy the surface balance equations of the continuum surface elasticity. Differential quadrature method is employed and in order to establish the accuracy and applicability of t...

axial vibration effect of shell particles on dynamic stability of a cantilevered cylindrical shell under an axial follower force was addressed. in spite of free-ended shells, the reduced axial force under this effect cannot be derived analytically. instead, an approximate method was proposed based on the fact that the static (and harmonic) axial deformation under an axial load in a free-ended b...

Railway crossings are an important source of localized ground vibration. Models required for identifying ways to tackle unacceptable levels vibration from existing as well future railway lines. Yet, the use a prediction model that directly allows non-Hertzian wheel-rail contact dynamics and also includes three dimensional calculations response would be computationally expensive. In order reduce...

the fundamental natural frequency of vibration of an inflatable cantilever beam is computed from the system of the three equeations given for vibratory motion of the beam. the effect of various parameters is discussed, and it is shown that, as internal pressure increases, fundamental natural frequency will increase , indicating the stiffening characteristics of internal pressure. a single exper...

Silicon-MEMS gyroscope is an important part of MEMS ( Micro Electrical Mechanical System). There are some disturb ignored in traditional gyroscope that must be evaluated newly because of its smaller size (reach the level of micron). In these disturb, the air pressure largely influences the performance of the MEMS gyroscope. Different air pressure causes different gas damping coefficient for the...
