摘要： The circumferential vibration of a gear pair is a parametric excitation caused by nonlinear tooth stiffness,which fluctuates with meshing.In addition,the vibration characteristics of the gear pair become complicated owing to the tooth profile error and backlash.It is considered that the circumferential vibration of the gear pair is affected by the torsional vibration of the shafts.It is important to understand quantitatively the vibration characteristics of the gear system considering the shafts.Therefore,the purpose of this research was to clarify the nonlinear vibration characteristics of a gear pair considering the influence of the shafts using theoretical methods.To achieve this objective,calculations were performed using equations of motion in which the circumferential vibration of the gear pair and the torsional vibration of the shafts were coupled.The nonlinear tooth stiffness was represented by a sine wave.The influence of tooth separation was considered by defining a nonlinear function using backlash and the tooth profile error.For the numerical calculations,both stable and unstable periodic solutions were obtained by using the shooting method.The effect of the shafts on the gear system vibration were clarified by comparing the results in the cases in which the shaft was not considered,one shaft was considered,and both shafts were considered.

摘要： Thanks to the fast development of micro-electro-mechanical systems(MEMS)technologies,MEMS accelerometers show great potentialities for machine condition monitoring.To overcome the problems of a poor signal to noise ratio(SNR),complicated modulation,and high costs of vibration measurement and computation using conventional integrated electronics piezoelectric accelerometers,a triaxialMEMS accelerometer-based on-rotor sensing(ORS)technology was developed in this study.With wireless data transmission capability,the ORS unit can be mounted on a rotating rotor to obtain both rotational and transverse dynamics of the rotor with a high SNR.The orthogonal outputs lead to a construction method of analytic signals in the time domain,which is versatile in fault detection and diagnosis of rotating machines.Two case studies based on an induction motor were carried out,which demonstrated that incipient bearing defect and half-broken rotor bar can be effectively diagnosed by the proposed measurement and analysis methods.Comparatively,vibration signals from translational on-casing accelerometers are less capable of detecting such faults.This demonstrates the superiority of the ORS vibrations in fault detection of rotating machines.

摘要： Drill and blast is a commonly used method for rock slope excavation in hydropower engineering.During blasting excavation of rock slopes,far-field vibration monitoring on the first upper berm for statutory compliance is usually performed to control the blast-induced rock damage to the final slope face.In this study,for the rock slope excavation in the Jinping-I hydropower station,the field vibration monitoring and acoustic testing are presented to investigate the vibration characteristics on the first upper berm and the damage depth in the current bench.The relationship between the PPV on the first upper berm and the PPV damage threshold on the damage zone boundary is also studied through three-dimensional FEM simulations.The results show that on the first upper berm,the maximum vibration velocity component occurs in the vertical direction.While on the blasting damage zone boundary,the horizontal radial vibration velocity is the maximum component.For the Jinping-I slope with a bench height of 30 m,the radial PPV on the inner side of the first upper berm is 2.06%of the PPV threshold on the damage zone boundary.This ratio is increased as the bench height decreases.Therefore,the bench height of the rock slope is an important factor that cannot be ignored in determining the allowable vibration velocity for rock damage control.

摘要： Microtubules (MT) are of great engineering importance due to their potential applications as sensors, actuators, drug delivery, and others. The MT properties/mechanics are greatly affected by their biomechanical environment and it is important to understand their biological function. Although microtubule mechanics has been extensively studied statically, very limited studies are devoted to the biomechanical properties of microtubule undergoing deformation and vibration. In this study, we investigate the biomechanical properties of the microtubule under bending deformation and free vibration using 3D finite element analysis. Results of force-deformation and vibration frequencies and mode shapes obtained from the finite element analysis are presented. The results indicate that the force-deformation characteristics vary with time/phases and become non-linear at higher time intervals. The modes of MT vibration and frequencies are in the GHz range and higher modes will involve combined bending, torsion and axial deformations. These higher modes and shapes change their deformation which might have implications for physiological and biological behavior, especially for sensing and actuation and communication to cells. The bending force-deformation characteristics and vibration modes and frequencies should help further understand the biomechanical properties of self-assembled microtubules.

摘要： To control the vibration level of ships under construction,MSC Software’s Patran&Nastran modeling solutions can be used to establish a detailed finite element model of a new manned submersible support mother ship based on a line drawing,including the deck layout,bulkhead section,and stiffener distribution.After a comprehensive analysis of the ship simulation conditions,boundaries,and excitation forces of the main operating equipment,modal analysis and calculation of the ship vibration can be conducted.In this study,we calculated and analyzed the vibration response of key points in the stern area of the ship’s main deck and the submersible warehouse area under design loading working conditions.We then analyzed the vibration response of typical decks(including the compass deck,steering deck,captain’s deck,forecastle deck,and main deck)under the main excitation forces and moments(such as the full swing pod and generator sets).The analysis results showed that under DESIDEP working conditions,the vibration of each deck and key areas of the support mother ship could meet the vibration code requirements of the ship’s preliminary design(using the pod excitation and generator sets).Similarly,the vibration response of a scientific research ship under other loading conditions also met the requirements of the code and provided data support for a comprehensive understanding of the ship’s vibration and noise levels.Using actual vibration measurements,the accuracy of the vibration level simulations using finite element modeling was verified,the vibration of each area of the ship comfortably meeting the requirements of the China Classification Society.

摘要： Based on our proposed adaptivity strategy for the vibration of Reissner-Mindlin plate,we develop it to apply for the vibration of Kirchhoff plate.The adaptive algorithm is based on the Geometry-Independent Field approximaTion(GIFT),generalized from Iso-Geometric Analysis(IGA),and it can characterize the geometry of the structure with NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines),and independently apply PHT-splines(Polynomial splines over Hierarchical T-meshes)to achieve local refinement in the solution field.TheMAC(Modal AssuranceCriterion)is improved to locate unique,as well as multiple,modal correspondence between different meshes,in order to deal with error estimation.Local adaptivity is carried out by sweeping modes from low to high frequency.Numerical examples showthat a proper choice of the spline space in solution field(with GIFT)can deliver better accuracy than using NURBS solution field.In addition,for vibration of heterogeneous Kirchhoff plates,our proposed method indicates that the adaptive local h-refinement achieves a better solution accuracy than the uniform h-refinement.

摘要： Based on the modified couple-stress theory,the three-dimensional(3D)bending deformation and vibration responses of simply-supported and multilayered twodimensional(2D)decagonal quasicrystal(QC)nanoplates are investigated.The surface loading is assumed to be applied on the top surface in the bending analysis,the tractionfree boundary conditions on both the top and bottom surfaces of the nanoplates are used in the free vibration analysis,and a harmonic concentrated point loading is applied on the top surfaces of the nanoplates in the harmonic response analysis.The general solutions of the extended displacement and traction vectors for the homogeneous QC nanoplates are derived by solving the eigenvalue problem reduced from the final governing equations of motion with the modified couple-stress effect.By utilizing the propagator matrix method,the analytical solutions of the displacements of bending deformation for the phonon and phason fields,the natural frequency of free vibration,and the displacements of the harmonic responses of the phonon and phason fields are obtained.Numerical examples are illustrated to show the effects of the quasiperiodic direction,the material length scale parameter,and the the stacking sequence of the nanoplates on the bending deformation and vibration responses of two sandwich nanoplates made of QC and crystal materials.

摘要： Tension cables are easily prone to generating varied vibrations under the action of external loads, which adversely affects the safety of bridges. Therefore, it is necessary to take effective measures to suppress the vibrations of tension cables. Cable end dampers are widely used in vibration reduction for cable-stayed bridges due to their convenient installation and low costs. However, the previous studies on the tension cable-viscous damper systems mostly adopt the linear method, and the weakening effect of the flexibility of mounting brackets on the damper vibration reduction is not sufficiently taken into account. Therefore, this paper adopts the improved Kelvin model to conduct the derivation, solution, and parametric analysis of vibration equations for the stay cable-nonlinear viscous damper systems. The results of parametric analysis show that the maximum modal damping ratio that can be obtained by cables and the corresponding optimal damping coefficient of dampers are correlated with the damping nonlinear coefficient α, stiffness nonlinear coefficient β, vibration order n, installation position a/L, and stiffness coefficient μ, etc.;among them, n damping nonlinear coefficient α and stiffness nonlinear coefficient β are the key parameters that affect the parameter design of dampers, where damping nonlinear coefficient α mainly controls the optimal damping coefficient and stiffness nonlinear coefficient β mainly controls the maximum damping ratio. Based on the parametric analysis, the design principles of dampers and value requirements of key parameters under different vibration suppression objectives are presented.

摘要： The present study stems from the realization that the general problem relating to the analysis of wind-induced vibrations in suspension bridges still requires significant attention.Sidewalk railings,overhaul tracks,and deflectors are known to largely affect such dynamics.Here,the influence of a row of water-filled traffic barriers on the response of a sample suspension bridge is investigated numerically.It is shown that the existence of water barriers causes flow separation and non-negligible vortices with respect to the condition with no water barriers.The vortex shedding frequency at the far end is around 41.30 Hz,relatively close to the real vibration frequency.It is also shown how different incoming angles of attack can change the flow field around the bridge cross-section and the vortex detachment frequency.
