Abstract: Parameter identification of hysteretic models is significant for predicting structural dynamic response in vibration isolation structures. However, quasi-static testing and displacement measurement methods are not convenient ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of polynomial method in the transient response control of a benchmark twomass system. It is shown that transient responses can be directly addressed by specifying the socalled characteristic ...

Abstract: Due to their high sensitivity to excitations with low intensity, bistable energy harvesting systems have received significant attention. In practical applications, it is difficult to achieve a bistable energy harvester ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of a magnetically coupled piezoelectric energy harvester under low frequency excitation where the angle of the external magnetic field is adjustable. The nonlinear ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracking of the rotor shaft is an important fault observed in the rotating machinery of key industries, which can lead to catastrophic failure. Nonlinear dynamics of a cracked rotor system with fractional order ...

Abstract: This paper presents a pseudo-static modeling methodology for dynamic analysis of distributed compliant mechanisms to provide accurate and efficient solutions. First, a dynamic stiffness matrix of the flexible beam is ...

Abstract: Flexure-based compliant mechanisms are becoming increasingly promising in precision engineering, robotics, and other applications due to the excellent advantages of no friction, no backlash, no wear, and minimal requirement ...
