Abstract: Previous research by the authors concentrated on using piezoelectric actuators for active vibration control (AVC) of rotating machinery. The current work extends this by positioning the piezo-actuator ...

Abstract: The recent growth of magnetic bearing applications in the chemical, utility and aerospace industries requires more accurate design tools to insure reliable and effective operation as components ...

Abstract: Previously published work on applied impact damping typically relates to SDOF models or simple MDOF models such as the classical cantilever beam. Structural models often require an extremely ...
