This paper proposes the refined first order shear deformation theory to investigate the free vibration behavior of bidirectional functionally graded porous plates. This theory satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom of the plate, thus avoids the need of a shear correction factor. The rule of mixtures is employed to compute the effective material properties an...

structural dynamic parameters: natural period, shape modes and damping ratio of vibration, play a decisive role on the seismic behavior of those structures. there are several methods for determining of the structural dynamic parameters, such as: free vibration, ambient vibration and force vibration tests. in this research the structural response of a three-story building (the natural frequencie...

In this study, the free vibration behavior of orthotropic rectangular graphene sheet embedded in an elastic medium under biaxial pre-load is studied. Using the nonlocal elasticity theory, the governing equation is derived for single-layered graphene sheets (SLGS). Differential quadrature method (DQM) has been used to solve the governing equations for various boundary conditions. To verify the a...

This study investigated bending, buckling, and free vibration responses of hyperbolic shear deformable functionally graded (FG) higher order beams. The material properties of FG beams are varied through thickness according to power law distribution; here, the FG beam was made of aluminium/alumina, and the hyperbolic shear deformation theory was used to evaluate the effect of shear deformation i...

In this study, free vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes is investigated based on Timoshenko beam theory. Discrete singular convolution (DSC) method is used for free vibration problem of numerical solution of carbon nanotubes. Numerical results are presented and compared with that available in the literature. It is shown that reasonable accurate results are obtained. Keywords-Carbon Nanotubes...

this study involved the development and evaluation of a new filtering technique, as based on adaptive free mass load cell. the technique's application in reduction of vibration and impulse noise (commonly added to the sugar cane harvester yield monitoring signals) was tested. this technique is based upon assimilate spring- mass vibration system of weighing scale with a free mass load cell ...

The effect of periodic vibration noise in wellsite is an important factor which impact analysis on three-dimensional drill string vibration signal. In order to obtain more accurate characters of three-dimensional drill string vibration signal that reflects the drilling tools condition, we conduct researches on the periodic vibration noise in the wellsite, independent component analysis algorith...

Numerical simulations of the interaction between a circular cylinder and its wake during both forced and free, vortex-induced, oscillation have been performed using a spectral element method in which the computational mesh was fixed to the cylinder and the Navier-Stokes equations solved in this accelerating reference frame. Thus far, work has focussed on cross flow, rather than in-line oscillat...

This paper proposes a method to vibration analysis in order to on-line monitoring of milling process quality. Adapting envelope analysis to characterize the milling tool materials is an important contribution to the qualitative and quantitative characterization of milling capacity and a step by modeling the three-dimensional cutting process. An experimental protocol was designed and developed f...

Shell structures, especially cylindrical shells, are widely used in aerospace and naval architectural industries. Submarine hulls and aircraft bodies can be idealized as cylindrical shell structures. The study of vibrations of cylindrical shells is an important aspect in the successful applications of the cylindrical shells. The free vibration characteristics of a submarine hull have an importa...
