Abstract: An adaptive method for suppressing mechanical vibration of multiple frequencies is investigated. The adaptive controller is reinforced with saturation alleviator to improve the convergence rate and performance of the ...

Abstract: Numerical simulation of vibration control of a submerged stiffened cylindrical structure with active vibration isolators is presented. Vibration transmission from vibrating machinery to the cylindrical ...

Abstract: Self-excited vibration of a flexibly supported shafting system in a gravity water tunnel was observed in the testing of friction of water-lubricated rubber bearings. The measured vibrations indicated that the self-excited ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of a neoprene coated cylinder subjected to underwater explosion were experimentally investigated. Two metallic cylinders of the same geometry were simultaneously fire tested in an artificial lake. One ...

Abstract: Strings or cables can be used to mitigate unfavorable vibrations. This paper proposes a novel isolator that comprises a cable network and a fluid damper. Equations of the coupled transverse and longitudinal vibrations of ...
