According to the linear viscoelastic model, the population discrete elements under the vibration working condition of the seed tray of the seeder were assumed as rigid conditions to analyze the collision process. The dynamic characteristics among the population collision process for the vibration process of the seeder were analyzed by tracing the microcosmic motion of each seed. The following c...

Suppression of Random Vibration in Flexible Structures using a Hybrid Vibration Absorber M.H. Tso, J. Yuan, W.O. Wong Abstract A design method is proposed to suppress stationary random vibration in flexible structures using a hybrid vibration absorber (HVA). While the traditional vibration absorber can damp down the vibration mainly at the pre-tuned mode of the primary structure, active damping...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of whole body vibration in oxygen uptake during intense squatting exercise with an added weight and whole body vibration compared with the same exercise without vibration. METHODS Nine male sub- jects performed three trials of dynamic squatting with an additional load of 50% of their body weight during 3 min. One trial without vi...

In this paper new method for vibration control of Flexible Base Mobile Manipulator (FBMM) under constrained motion control were proposed. When robotic manipulator with base flexibility contacts environment under impedance control, vibration occurs at transient and contact moments. Vibration causes position and force inaccuracy, instability and servicing requirements of equipment. Previous activ...

Numerical simulation of bubble growth during pool boiling under the influence of low frequency vibration was performed to understand the influence of common vibrations such as those induced by wind, highway transportation, and nearby mechanical devices on the performance of thermal systems that rely on boiling. The simulations were done for saturated R123 boiling at 277.6 K with a 15 K wall sup...

Vibration generated by a gear-set is a signal of its technical condition. Many papers have been published on relation between the vibration signal and the condition of a gear-set. It is convenient to investigate this relation by dividing the factors which have influence on vibration generated by a gear-set into four major groups: design, production technology, operational and change of conditio...

The vibration velocities of the seat platform and traditional mechanical reduction vibration device were measured through tests, which provided certain basis for proposing and design of the parallel mechanism with six degree of freedom in subsequent paragraphs. Adopting the parallel mechanism as the main part of the seat and the active joints with spring damping elements as the reduction vibrat...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of mechanical vibration stimulation on the muscle force and muscle reaction time of lower leg according to perception threshold and vibration frequency. A vibration stimulation with perception threshold intensity was applied on the Achilles tendon and tibialis anterior tendon. EMG measurement and analysis system were used to analyze the c...

W our reliance on vision and hearing and our weak vibration sense, humans have only recently developed ways to mine the information provided by the soundless vibration of the surfaces around us (box 1). Nevertheless, the information is there: geophones show ongoing tremors of the earth’s surface, stethoscopes bring the rhythm of our heart and lungs to a doctor’s ears, and laser vibrometers let ...
