Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of vibrating structures as a mean for minimizing unwanted vibration. Presented in this work is a method for automatic determination of a set of preselected ...

Abstract: A vibrating system is constructed such that its natural frequencies are exact integer multiples of a base frequency. This system requires little energy to produce a periodic motion whose period ...

Abstract: The problem in the creation of traveling waves is approached here from an unconventional angle. The formulation makes use of normal vibration modes, which are standing waves, to express both ...

Abstract: A new method to estimate time-varying external forces acting upon a vibrating structure is presented in this paper. The method is developed for a force-calibrating device which is designed to ...
