Abstract: A two-dimensional finite element model (2D FEM) has been developed to improve the modeling and understanding of the friction damping characteristics of freight bogie suspensions. The specific ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional finite element model has been developed to investigate the friction damping characteristics of suspensions with so-called “constant-damping” friction wedges widely used in three-piece ...

Abstract: The method of reverberationray matrix (MRRM) combined with the Floquet–Bloch theorem, which serves as an alternative method, is presented for accurately analyzing longitudinal waves in general periodic multiphase rods. ...

Abstract: It is shown that the structure and property of the exact stationary solution of a stochastically excited and dissipated n -degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system depend upon the integrability and ...

Abstract: A stochastic averaging method is proposed to predict approximately the response of multi-degree-of-freedom quasi-nonintegrable-Hamiltonian systems (nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems with lightly linear ...

Abstract: Although the study of vibration isolation has a very long history, when an isolated structure is so flexible that it cannot be properly approximated with a rigid body or a single-degree-of-freedom ...

Abstract: The problem of flexible structure vibration isolation on a flexible foundation is analytically investigated by simplifying the vibration isolation as single axis isolation, which can be realized ...

Abstract: Beamtype phononic crystals as one kind of periodic material bear frequency bands for bending waves. For the first time, this paper presents formation mechanisms of the phase constant spectra in passbands of bending waves ...

Abstract: A new method is presented for computation of eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives associated with repeated eigenvalues of the generalized nondefective eigenproblem. This approach is an extension ...

Abstract: In this paper, the moving least-squares differential quadrature (MLSDQ) method is employed for free vibration of thick antisymmetric laminates based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The generalized displacements ...
