Abstract: Internal resonance is explored as a possible mechanism to enhance vibrationbased energy harvesting. An electromagnetic device with snapthrough nonlinearity is proposed as an archetype of an internal resonance energy ...

Abstract: Based on the generalized dynamical theory of thermoelasticity, a transfer matrix formulation including the second sound effect is developed for longitudinal wave component propagation in a ...

Abstract: To better understand the mechanisms that govern the behavior of pool boiling on horizontal highly conductive microporous coated surfaces, a series of experimental investigations were designed to ...

Abstract: A space robot inevitably impacts a satellite in a capture operation. If its fragile joints are not protected, they may be damaged, resulting in failure of the capture operation. Thus, a spring damper buffer device (SDBD) ...

Abstract: Buckling and post-buckling analysis is presented for axially compressed double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in an elastic matrix in thermal environments. The double-walled carbon nanotube ...

Abstract: Hard turning is becoming increasingly considered by industry as a potential substitute for grinding. However, it is greatly hurdled by surface integrity problems such as tensile residual stress and white layer, which are ...

Abstract: The roton-like dispersions support the “return flow” of acoustic waves; such phenomena were only observed in quantum systems. In this paper, we aim to investigate the nonlinear roton-like dispersion in a mechanical ...

Abstract: Laser-Doppler velocimetry and pressure measurements are presented of the local velocity and wall pressure distributions in a rotating two-pass square duct with staggered ribs placed on the leading ...

Abstract: In the present paper, direct numerical simulation (DNS) studies of the compressible flow in the T106 linear cascade have been carried out. Various environmental variables, i.e., background turbulence level, frequency of ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is twofold: first to illustrate that nonlinear modal interactions, namely, a twotoone internal resonance energy pump, can be exploited to improve the steadystate bandwidth of vibratory energy ...
