Abstract: An approach for incorporating the heat transfer and elastic deformation effects into dynamic coefficient calculation is presented. A global analysis method is used, which finds the equilibrium ...

Abstract: A method for designing dynamic vibration absorbers which create antiresonances at specified points on a sinusoidally forced vibratory system is described. Spring-mass absorber systems are treated ...

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: 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 ...

Abstract: The effect of the laminate stacking factor on homopolar magnetic bearing performance is examined. Stacked laminates are used on the bearing rotor and in the stator. These laminate stacks have ...
