Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic characteristic of the truss Spar-type floating foundation used to support the offshore vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT). The effects of changes in foundation structural parameters on its ...

Abstract: Installing an inducer upstream of the main impeller is an effective approach for improving the performances of a centrifugal pump. In order to study the influence of inducer on the internal flow characteristics and evolution ...

Abstract: In this paper, the analytical expressions of the dynamic compliances of both undamped and damped cantilever beams are found by the transfer funtion method. From these solutions, the phenomenon ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are one of the most promising devices for mitigation of vibration of engineering structures due to earthquakes and wind excitation. In this paper, a compact twocolumn model of an MR fluid ...

Abstract: Gas–cyclone body coupling vibration is one kind of vibration caused by air pulsation. This coupling vibration causes widespread damage and deformation of threestage cyclone separator used in residue fluid catalytic ...

Abstract: The nonlinear coupling effect between degree-of-freedom (DOFs) and the influence of vortex-induced loads on the motion of SPAR-type floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) are studied based on an aero-hydro-vortex-mooring ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic materials are a kind of representative passive vibration control materials with many applications in civil engineering for earthquake mitigation in building structures, and these materials often serve in a ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic dampers are one of the most popular earthquake mitigation devices for building structures with a large number of applications in civil engineering. The seismic performance of viscoelastic dampers is greatly ...
