background delayed onset muscle soreness (doms) is the sensation of stiffness and pain in the muscles that occurs 24-48 hours after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. objectives the aim of this study was to examine and compare the effect of vibration training (vt) on delayed onset muscle soreness. materials and methods twenty healthy non-athletic volunteers (female, age 20-30 years, body mass ...

The mean vibration transmissibility values were measured for cotton work gloves commonly used in vibration-generating workplaces to evaluate the vibration isolating performance of cotton work gloves. The mean vibration transmissibility values of work cotton gloves were compared with those of four types of anti-vibration gloves measured in the same way. All the measurements were performed based ...

It is shown that the energy harvesting capabilities of a piezoelectric cantilever can be enhanced through coupling to a static magnetic field. A permanent magnet is fixed to the end of a piezoelectric cantilever, causing it to experience a non-linear force as it moves with respect to a stationary magnet. The magnetically coupled cantilever responds to vibration over a much broader frequency ran...

Linear vibration absorbers are a valuable tool used to suppress vibrations due to harmonic excitation in structural systems. Limited evaluation of the performance of nonlinear vibration absorbers for nonlinear structures exists in the current literature. The state of the art is extended in this work to vibration absorbers in their three major physical implementations: the mechanical vibration a...

In this paper, a general linear time-varying multiple-axis (LTVMA) vibration model of shield tunnel boring machine (TBM) cutterhead driving system is established. The corresponding multiple inputs and multiple outputs (MIMO) state-space model is also presented. The linear vibration model is analysed, and the vibration-torque transfer function matrix and the vibration-torque static gain matrix a...

Nonlinear vibration of a fluid-filled single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported ends is investigated in this paper based on Von-Karman’s geometric nonlinearity and the simplified Donnell’s shell theory. The effects of the small scales are considered by using the nonlocal theory and the Galerkin's procedure is used to discretize partial differential equations of the governing i...
