This system arises from a model of the nonlinear thermoelastic coupled vibration structure with the clamped ends for simultaneously considering the medium damping, the viscous effect and the nonlinear constitutive relation and thermoelasticity based on a theory of non-Fourier heat flux laws. By considering the case where the internal (structural) damping is present, for 0≤ ι < 1, we show that t...

In this paper, guided wave health monitoring in plate structure for detection of nonlinear contact scatter is conduct using vibration modulation technique. By time-frequency analysis of modulated guided wave series, the nonlinear responses at frequency of vibration are extracted out and used for defect imaging. It is shown that the nonlinear guided wave imaging method based on vibration modulat...

Coupled oscillators play an important role in many scientific fields, for example, in mechanics, electronics, and biology; see [1, 4] and references therein. In this paper we analyze two coupled oscillators, one of which is driven by an external periodic force. Important example of such a system is a dynamic vibration absorber which consists of a small mass, m2, attached to the primary vibratin...

It is predicted that energy consumption will increase by 56% between year 2010 and 2040. To cope with this upcoming energy demand, innovative technologies have been developed in recent decades to harvest energy from the environment such as wind, solar, tide and vibration. Harvesting energy from structural vibration presents two major challenges: efficiency and vibration control. In particular, ...

The apparent mass and seat-to-head-transmissibility response functions of the seated human body are investigated under exposures to fore-aft (x), lateral (y), and combined fore-aft and lateral (x and y) axis whole-body vibration. The experiments were performed to study the effects of hands support, back support and vibration magnitude on the body interactions with the seat pan and the backrest,...

An analytical solution for nonlinear vibration of an initially stressed beam with elastic end restraints resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation is obtained. As a first step in solving nonlinear vibration equation, the linear vibration mode functions for a beam with elastic end restraints resting on a linear elastic foundation are obtained. Then, the nonlinear vibration equation is solved by ...

The parametric resonance of the axial vibrations of a cantilever pipe conveying harmonically perturbed two-phase flow is investigated using the method of multiple scale perturbation. The nonlinear coupled and uncoupled planar dynamics of the pipe are examined for a scenario when the axial vibration is parametrically excited by the pulsating frequencies of the two phases conveyed by the pipe. Aw...
