In this study, the dynamic behaviour of a beam carrying accelerating mass is investigated. A MATLAB code was developed for numerical solutions. The accelerating moving mass that is travelling on the beam was modelled as a moving finite element in order to include inertial effects beside gravitation force of mass. Since the mass moves along the deflected curve of the beam, these effects are, res...

background and purpose:moving bed biofilm reactor is an aerobic attached growth with better biofilm thickness control, lack of plugging and lower head loss. consequently, this system is greatly used by different wastewater treatment plants. high tds wastewater produced petrochemical, leather tanning, sea food processing, cannery, pickling and dairy industries. the aim of this study was to evalu...

The dynamic response of the railway under accelerated moving load using Dynamic Green Function is presented in this paper. For this purpose, an exact and direct modeling technique is introduced for the railway modeling as the damped Euler-Bernoulli beam on the partial Winkler foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions subjected to the moving load. The effects of the elastic coefficient of Wi...

Asymptotic behavior of the solution of the moving oscillator problem is examined for large values of the spring stiffness for the general case of nonzero beam initial conditions. In the limit of infinite spring stiffness, the moving oscillator problem for a simply supported beam is shown to be not equivalent in a strict sense to the moving mass problem; i.e., beam displacements obtained by solv...

But this is not real life! Suppose next that we are still moving in a straight line but the force is variable: indeed, the typical example of this is that of a spring: suppose we have a mass M on a spring, and we stretch the mass a distance of x units from its equilibrium position. The spring will pull back in the opposite direction, and the early British scientist Robert Hooke formulated a sim...

Vibration propagates in the form of elastic waves. The tuning waves is great significance for vibration and noise reduction. metamaterials (EMs), which can effectively prohibit wave propagation band gap frequency range, have been widely studied. However, once structures EMs are determined, also determined. In this paper, a discrete nonlinear metamaterial proposed. harmonic balance method used t...

The simplest model possible for bouncing systems consists of a point mass bouncing passively on a mass-less spring without viscous losses. This type of spring-mass model has been used to describe the stance period of symmetric running gaits. In this study, we investigated the interaction between horse and rider at trot using three models of force-driven spring (-damper)-mass systems. The first ...

malian animals, i.e. that of a cat. It was also influenced by the spring-mass model representation [2]. Compliant prismatic legs show an intrinsic robustness for their angle of attack [2], they have a stability region. If the leg design is changed into a two segmented leg with a specific linear torsional spring, the leg stiffness kleg becomes nonlinear (Fig. 2(b) blue line), similar to that of ...

In this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. To analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. Because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...
