Abstract: The purposes of this paper are to formulate active constrained layer (ACL) damping treatments through a variational approach, to study the work-energy relation of ACL, and to identify damping ...

Abstract: This paper is to demonstrate that axisymmetric plate damping will suppress unbounded response of a stationary, elastic, circular plate excited by a rotating slider. Use of the method of multiple ...

Abstract: This paper is to study forced vibration response of a rotating disk/spindle system consisting of multiple flexible circular disks clamped to a rigid spindle supported by two flexible bearings. ...

Abstract: This paper is to propose a viable hybrid damping design that integrates active and passive dampings through intelligent constrained layer (ICL) treatments. This design consists of a viscoelastic ...

Abstract: This paper studies the stability and controllability of Euler-Bernoulli beams whose bending vibration is controlled through intelligent constrained layer (ICL) damping treatments proposed by Baz ...

Abstract: An analytical algorithm is proposed to represent eigensolutions [λm 2 , ψm (r )]m=1 ∞ of an imperfect structure C containing cracks in terms of crack configuration σc and eigensolutions [ωn ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine approximate eigensolutions of a class of cracked mechanical systems governed by the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation through a perturbation approach. ...

Abstract: This paper is to determine vibrational eigensolutions [λm2, vm(r)]m = 1∞ of a three-dimensional, finite, linear, elastic solid C containing cracks in terms of crack configuration σc and ...

Abstract: This paper predicts transverse vibration and stability of a rotating circular plate subjected to stationary, in-plane, concentrated edge loads. First of all, the equation of motion is discretized ...
