Due to the poor conditions of wet brake cooling and the high temperature of the working characteristics, this paper intended to introduce the oil film vadose between the brake linings, considered the variation of volume of grooves on the friction plate, and then proposes the three-dimensional transient dynamic response of fluid-solid coupling mathematical model. By numerical analysis of the disc transient thermal stress field distribution on the friction plate, the friction surface temperature field variation is obtained. Finally, the results shows that the mathematical model is effective and feasible.

This paper proposes a model for metal hydride elements which are used as hydrogen accumulators for different types of thermal powered systems. The quasi-stationary method has been used to obtain a simplified mathematical model. Calculations to predict the dynamic response of a thermal energy engine have been made.

Although many studies exist concerning the influence of seat vibration on the head in the seated human body, the dynamic response of the head-neck complex (HNC) to the trunk vibration has not been well investigated. Little quantitative knowledge exists about viscoelastic parameters of the neck. In this study, the dynamics of the HNC is identified when it is exposed to the trunk horizontal (fore-and-aft) vibration. The frequency response functions between the HNC angular velocity and the trunk horizontal acceleration, corresponding to four volunteers, are obtained in the frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 10 Hz. A fourth-order mathematical model, derived by considering a double-inverted-pendulum model for the HNC, is designed to simulate the dynamic response of the HNC to the trunk horizontal vibration. The frequency domain identification method is used to determine the coefficients of the mathematical model of the HNC. Good agreement has been obtained between experimental and simulation results. This indicates that the system, similar to the designed fourth-order model, has mainly two resonance frequencies. The viscoelastic parameters of the neck, including the spring and damping coefficients, are then obtained by use of the optimization method.

A mathematical model to investigate the dynamic response of a piezoelectric plate-strip with initial stress under the action of a time-harmonic force resting on a rigid foundation is presented within the scope of the three-dimensional linearized theory of electro-elasticity waves in initially stressed bodies (TLTEEWISB). The governing system of equations of motion is solved by employing the Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical results illustrating the dependencies of different problem parameters are investigated. In particular, the influence of a change in the value of the initial stress parameter on the dynamic response of the plate-strip is discussed.

This study aims to investigate the forced vibrations caused by a time-harmonic force from a pre-stressed bi-layered plate resting on a rigid foundation under the action of a time-harmonic pointwise loading. Our investigation was conducted according to a piecewise homogeneous body model utilizing the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies. Throughout this study, we assumed that there is complete contact between the plate and the rigid foundation. The purpose of this study is threefold: the development of a mathematical model to investigate the dynamic response of the pre-stressed bi-layered plate, the analysis of the frequency response of the plate under consideration, and finally, demonstrating the relationship between the initial stress and the dimensionless frequency of the plate. We solved the mathematical model by employing the finite element method. We present our numerical results on the dynamic behavior of the plate. In particular, we have shown that an increase in the values of the aspect ratio of a plate under fixed thickness leads to a decrease in the normal stress resonance values.

Due to the complexity of submarine environments, the nature of the dynamic response of free-spanning submarine pipelines, particularly inclined pipelines, is unclear. This paper aims to theoretically analyze the vibration behaviors of inclined fluid-transporting free-spanning submarine pipelines in the deepwater area. The mathematical model for the vibration of inclined fluid-transporting pipelines is established considering the influence of gravity on vibration response, and a non-linear wake oscillator is employed to model the vortex shedding behind the pipeline free span. The partial differential equation system is solved through the generalized integral transform technique (GITT), which is an analytical or semi-analytical method. Parametric analysis are carried out to investigate the effects of the inclination on the dynamic response of fluid-transporting pipelines. It is found that the inclination of the free-spanning pipeline will radically alter the natural frequency of the structure, and consequently the VIV lock-in region. In addition, the slope of the seabed will cause a more significant internal flow effect. The thorough theoretical understanding of inclined fluid-transporting pipelines helps increase the design accuracy for pipelines installed on a seabed with a highly irregular topography.

Abstract A bone remodeling algorithm based on disuse and damage repair was developed in this study. Important elements of the bone remodeling process, including the delay between resorption and formation of bone and the resulting porosity, were included in the algorithm. A study of the dynamic response of the algorithm indicated oscillatory behavior for disuse situations and critically sensitive behavior in overload situations beyond a threshold load. Application of the algorithm to a finite element model of the femur reproduced the observed internal structure. The model is being used in further studies to investigate remodeling around implant stems and bone diseases and their treatment.

AbstractThe general form of mathematical model of cable winding/unwinding system is defined for several different constructions. The novelty of this mathematical model is detection and mathematical formulation of influence of new dynamic variables: winding/unwinding radius and cable length on dynamic response of cable winding/unwinding system. The validity of the obtained theoretical contribution has been illustrated through one case study by using a newly developed software package CWUSOFT which was generated in MATLAB. Theoretical and simulation results are confirmed through the experimental analysis of one novel construction of the cable winding/unwinding system.

The paper presents a three-phase unified power quality conditioner using a fuzzy controller. The fuzzy controller replaces the conventional PI controller in this work. The results obtained through the fuzzy controller are found superior to those obtained through conventional PI controller in terms of dynamic response. This is because of the fact that the fuzzy controller is based on a linguistic variable set theory and does not require a mathematical model of the system. Moreover, the tedious method of tuning the PI controller is not required in case of fuzzy controller. Simulations are carried out using MATLAB/Simulink to validate the theoretical findings.
