in this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (tmm). the effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

in this paper, free vibration of an Euler-Bernoulli beam with variable cross-section resting on elastic foundation and under axial tensile force is considered. Beam’s constant height and exponentially varying width yields variable cross-section. The problem is handled for three different boundary conditions: clamped-clamped, simply supported-simply supported and clamp-free beams. First, the equ...

This paper studies free vibration of simply supported functionally graded beams with piezoelectric layers subjected to axial compressive loads. The Young's modulus of beam is assumed to be graded continuously across the beam thickness. Applying the Hamilton’s principle, the governing equation is established. Resulting equation is solved using the Euler’s Equation. The effects of the constituent...

Wave vibration analysis approach is found a systematic and concise approach in solving complex vibration problems in built-up frame structures. From the wave vibration standpoint, vibrations propagate along a uniform waveguide, and are reflected and transmitted at discontinuities. In this study, a multi-story multi-bay steel frame is built. The wave vibration analysis approach is applied to stu...

Propeller induced structural vibration through the thrust bearing is an important source for low frequency shipboard noise and underwater sound radiation from a submarine hull. Such vibration is investigated using a scaled experimental model. This research concentrates on the experimental characterization of propeller force, hydrodynamic force of the thrust bearing and vibration transmission th...

Internal friction and void ratio will change among granular particles under vibration, and the size of void ratio directly affects strength of granular media. To further study the effect of vibration parameters on granular mechanical properties, discrete element method is used to simulate particles motion in a vibrating rectangular case by PFC2D software and study the influence of vibration fre...

This paper presents a tunable electromagnetic vibration-based micro-generator with closed loop frequency tuning. Frequency tuning is realized by applying an axial tensile force to the micro-generator. A closed-loop frequency tuning system has been developed to control the tuning process so that the generator always operates at the ambient vibration frequency to make the entire process automatic...

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...

background : the application of ventilation systems in industries and workplaces is with the aim of improving environmental conditions for employees. the lack of appropriate ventilation system components design and control methods result in the production of sound and vibration in most components. the purpose of this study was to determine the role of the pad isolator in controlling vibration a...
