Abstract Various methods have been proposed to measure vibration frequency. However, mechanical systems are not efficient as they be attached the object of interest. So, measurements precise when a new mass is introduced surface. Besides, obtaining power and phase distribution on whole surface vibrating possible through using accelerometers or other vibrometers. Out-of-plane detection was previ...

An analysis has been presented of the effect of elastic foundation and uniform in-plane peripheral loading on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of circular plates of varying thickness exhibiting bi-directional functionally graded characteristics, on the basis of first order shear deformation theory. The material properties of the plate are varying following a power-law in both the radial ...

The stability of a translating cable which stands in the shape of an arch between two supports is investigated. Asymptotic solutions for free in-plane and out-of-plane cable vibrations are derived under the assumption of small arch height. Without translation speed, the cable arch collapses under compressional loading. As translation speed is increased, however, the cable arch becomes tensioned...

Graphene has received significant attention due to its excellent mechanical properties, which has resulted in the emergence of graphene-based nano-electro-mechanical system such as nanoresonators. The nonlinear vibration of a graphene resonator and its application to mass sensing (based on nonlinear oscillation) have been poorly studied, although a graphene resonator is able to easily reach the...

Study of the tropic responses of Botrytis cinerea and Osmunda cinnamomea spores to blue light shows the photoreceptor molecules to be highly dichroic and oriented: in Botrytis their axes of maximum absorption lie perpendicular to the nearby cell surface; in Osmunda, parallel. The chief evidence lies in a comparison of their responses to plane polarized light-both germinate parallel to the vibra...

The rotation — torsion — vibration interaction in the normal and 1 5N isotopic species of Acetyl Cyanide is studied in the rotational spectrum of ground, first excited state of methyl torsion and first excited state of CCN in plane bending vibration. With respect to a previous -work [1] a more detailed check of a model with five degrees of freedom, comprising three for the overall rotation and ...

This paper presents new exact 3-D (three-dimensional) elasticity closed-form solutions for out-of-plane free vibration of thick rectangular single layered FG (functionally graded) plates and thick rectangular homogeneous plate coated by a functionally graded layer with simply supported boundary conditions. It is assumed that the plate is on a Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation and elasticity ...
