The influence of trailing edge deformation on the aerodynamic characteristics of camber morphing wings is an important topic in the aviation field. In this paper, a new memory alloy actuator is proposed to realize trailing edge deformation, and compu...

As the speed of high-speed trains increases, the vehicle’s lateral stability steadily deteriorates. There have been observations of abnormal vibrations in the tail car, particularly on certain sections of the railway line. This study built a hi...

Theoretical and non-dimensional investigations have been performed to study the vibration control potential of approaches that are not only based on viscoelastic but also on endochronic elements. The latter are known from the endochronic theory of pl...

Efficient maintenance in the face of complex and interconnected industrial equipment is crucial for corporate competitiveness. Traditional reactive approaches often prove inadequate, necessitating a shift towards proactive strategies. This study addr...

To simulate a lightweight structure with integrated actuators and sensors, two-dimensional finite elements are utilized. The study looks at the optimal location and active vibration control for a piezoelectric smart flexible structure. Intelligent ap...

This article analyzes the convergence of the obtained values as a result of the authors’ earlier experimental and theoretical studies. On the basis of the correlations, it was found that the analyses of a traditional cylindrical steel tank with...

Cretan lyra is a stringed instrument very popular on the island of Crete, Greece, and an important part of its musical tradition. For stringed musical instruments, the air mode resonance plays a vital part in their sound, especially in the low freque...

Parkinson’s disease is an incurable neurological disease. Only the symptoms can be treated with medication or exercise therapy. The present analysis is intended to show how whole-body vibration training affects the symptoms of Parkinson’s...

Taking a type of test centrifuge as the research object, the finite element model of the test centrifuge was established, the vibration characteristics and aerodynamic performance of the test centrifuge were analyzed, and a structural optimization de...

Motivated by concerns regarding safety and maintenance, the operational speed of a railway line must remain significantly below the critical speed associated with the track–ground system. Given the large number of track sections within a railwa...

In this study, an analytical-based numerical approach was proposed for the analysis of the free axial vibration of homogeneous and functionally graded rods with varying cross-sectional areas. The proposed approach is based on analytical approximation...

Vibration-based damage detection is a range of methods that utilizes the dynamic response of a structure to evaluate its condition and detect damage. It is an important approach for structural health monitoring and has drawn much attention from resea...

Full-field non-contact vibration measurements provide a rich dataset for analysing structural dynamics. However, implementing the identification algorithm directly using high-spatial resolution data can be computationally expensive in modal identific...

Laser Doppler scanning vibrometry is used for imaging spectral vibration components in a carbon fiber-reinforced composite plate that contains a sub-surface delamination defect caused by hammer impact. The images reveal sideband generation at the loc...

Human operators in the transportation sector are exposed to whole-body vibration (WBV) while driving. Occupational exposure to WBV, predominant at low frequencies (<20 Hz), has been linked to spinal injuries and reduced functioning. This study aim...

Manual wheelchair (MWC) users are daily exposed to vibration during propulsion. The impact of such exposure on the MWC user’s health has yet to be proven. To date, no agreement has been reached, presumably on the account of the wide variety of...

Vibration mitigation of moving flexible structures is a key issue in many applications. Examples include antennas, solar arrays, radar reflectors, and manipulator arms, especially in the aerospace sector. These structures typically consist of inter-c...

Six mode shapes, including bending and torsion, were documented for five different basketball rims and backboards at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, NY, USA. The frequency and damping ratio of each mode shape were also deter...
