in this paper the interior noise level of a vehicle due to structural vibration, named structure borne noise, as a part of nvh analysis has been investigated. first structural analysis is performed and vibrational behavior of structure carried out due to power plant excitations. then interior acoustic cavity response for such excitation and resultant noise is determined. vibrational analysis is...

The fundamental frequencies and mode shapes of steel and carbon fiber–reinforced plastic (CFRP) cylindrical shells with steel inserts were investigated using finite element analysis and modal testing. The free-free boundary condition was tested with modal testing using the roving hammer method and verified by finite element analysis using ABAQUS. The results show good agreement between the test...

In the present research, vibrational behavior of anisotropic protein microtubules (MTs) immersed in cytosol via Cooper–Naghdi shell model is investigated. MTs are hollow cylindrical structures in the eukaryotic cytoskeleton which surrounded by filament network. The temperature effect on vibration frequency is also taken into account by assuming temperature-dependent material properties for MTs....

The elastic and vibrational properties of iron-nickel and aluminum nanoparticles and nanocrystalline materials have been investigated on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations and the embedded atom method for the description of the materials. It is well known that nanocrystalline solids, with grain sizes in the nanometer range, exhibit often unsual properties like increased hardness due to...

The present paper deals with the dynamic behavior of nano-column subjected to follower force using the nonlocal elasticity theory. The nonlocal elasticity theory is used to analyze the mechanical behavior of nanoscale materials. The used method of solution is the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). It is shown that the nonlocal effect plays an important role in the vibrational behavior of nan...

Communication through substrate-borne vibrations has for long been recognized but in comparison with air-borne sound it has received very little attention. However, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that vibrational signals play a crucial role in communication in many insect groups and we provide a short overview. Vibrational signals are related to sexual behavior, alarm and defe...

Rate constants for dissociative electron attachment to Cl 2 have been measured from 300 to 1100 K in a high-temperature flowing-afterglow Langmuir-probe apparatus. R-matrix calculations have been carried out which compare well with the present measurements with possible deviation at the highest temperatures. The attachment rate constants do not show Arrhenius behavior. The temperature dependenc...

We report the complete assignment of the vibrational spectrum of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), which belongs to the most ubiquitous membrane phospholipid family, phosphatidylcholine. We find that water hydrating the lipid headgroups enables efficient energy transfer across membrane leaflets on sub-picosecond time scales. The emergence of spatially extended vibrational modes upon hydrat...

Enantioenriched square-pyramidal oxo- and sulfidorhenium(v) complexes have been prepared and their stereochemistry studied by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy.
