A finite element model was developed to simulate the vibratory stress relief after welding. Both resonant and nonresonant vibrations can relieve residual stresses in welded structures by creating plastic deformation around the weld area. For the non-resonant vibration, the stress reduction strongly depends on the vibration amplitude. For the resonant vibration, the vibration frequency is the ke...

Anti-vibration gloves have been used in real workplaces to reduce vibration transmitted through hand-held power tools to the hand. Generally materials used for vibration attenuation in gloves are resilient materials composed of certain synthetic and/or composite polymers. The mechanical characteristics of the resilient materials used in anti-vibration gloves are prone to be influenced by enviro...

The superconducting magnetically levitated transport (Maglev) system is a focus of interest as a future mode of transport at high speeds of over 500 km/h. Using a computational model of the vertical and pitching motions of a Maglev train, a study is conducted on the effectiveness of a maximum force control of the primary suspension using electromagnetic forces output by a bogie-integrated linea...

A computational study of helicopter vibration and rotor shaft power reduction is conducted using activelycontrolled trailing-edge flaps (ACFs), implemented in both single and dual flap configurations. Simultaneous vibration reduction and performance enhancement is demonstrated under level flight condition at high advance ratios, where dynamic stall effects are significant. Power reduction is ac...

In the air-conditioner’s market, the users are particularly sensitive to the vibration and noise of the machine. Thus, the enterprise not only the air-conditioner manufactures but also the compressor manufactures cast about how to develop and design more quietly machine. In this paper, we analyzed various kinds of factors that influenced the vibration and noise of air-conditioner, and we give t...

The vibration control of a construction vehicle must be carried out in order to meet the aims of sustainable environmental development and to avoid the potential human health hazards. In this paper, based on market feedback, the driver seat vibration of a type of wheel loader in the left and right direction, is found to be significant over a certain speed range. In order to find abnormal vibrat...

Background and purpose: Vibration caused by ventilation systems in buildings is one of the harmful physical factors that can cause harm to residents. Therefore, measuring and controlling vibration is important. Materials and Methods:  In the first step of the study, the vibration accelerometer was placed on the base of a fan where the vibrations were sent toward the duct wall. A vibration asse...
