In this paper, a study on the characteristics and the reduction methods of ground vibration due to the tilting train travelling in the conventional line is carried out. The load transmitted into the ground is computed considering the interaction between the tilting car and the line. This load is then applied in the numerical model for the analysis of ground vibration due to the travelling tilti...

Herein paper compares the analytical model with the FEM based numerical model of the axisymmetric bending of circular sandwich plates. Also, the paper describes equations of the circular symmetrical sandwich plates bending with isotropic face sheets and the nonlinear elastic core material. The method of constructing an analytical solution of nonlinear differential equations has been described. ...

Several experiments involving two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies have been carried out in a Trisonic wind tunnel at supersonic speeds to investigate and analyse the measured values of base pressure and to compare them with those from the theoretical methods. The objective of the experiments was to obtain an appropriate method for processing the results of wind tunnel tests on rockets or ai...

In this article we investigate the numerical approximation of coupled Stokes and Darcy fluid flow equations in an axisymmetric domain. The fluid flow is assumed to be axisymmetric. Rewriting the problem in cylindrical coordinates reduces the 3-D problem to a problem in 2-D. This reduction to 2-D requires the numerical analysis to be studied in suitably weighted Hilbert spaces. In this setting w...

This paper reports the mechanical design, structural analysis, and experimental veri cation of a new high performance semi-direct drive robot arm. A design optimization methodology employing nite element analysis (FEA) is reviewed, and a resulting arm design is reported. FEA simulations of the nal design predict high structural vibration frequencies throughout the arms workspace. Extensive stru...

Rolling bearings are one of the most important noise and vibration generator into mechanical constructions. Therefore, it is very important to have knowledge of the rolling element bearings influence on the level of noise and vibration in this systems. This paper deals with a basic forms for generation of vibration and noise of rolling element bearing and suggestions of vibration analysis signi...

One of the major problems in experimental vibration analysis is to determine location of transducers. It is important to place the transducers on locations with largest vibration amplitude and to avoid locations with zero-movement (nodal lines). These locations are best seen from vibration mode shapes. Finite element analysis (FEA) provides numerical values for natural frequencies, which are so...

This article presents the use of the synchrosqueezing transform (SST) for the timefrequency analysis of shock and vibration measurements. The time-frequency resolution properties of SST is demonstrated by analyzing acceleration measurements from pallets dropped from heights and vibration of pallets acquired in controlled laboratory settings. The article presents results that indicate that SST, ...

There is a worldwide interest in the proper design of embankment dams to resist earthquake loadings. For the first time in Iran, a complete ambient vibration survey due to low-level loads such as wind, machinery activities, low level tectonic activities, and water exit from bottom outlet was performed on Marun embankment dam. These kinds of ambient vibration tests are suitable for manifesting t...
