While structural damage detection based on flexural vibration shapes, such as mode shapes and steady-state response shapes under harmonic excitation, has been well developed, little attention is paid to that based on longitudinal vibration shapes that also contain damage information. This study originally formulates a slope vibration shape for damage detection in bars using longitudinal vibration shapes. To enhance noise robustness of the method, a slope vibration shape is transformed to a multiscale slope vibration shape in a multiscale domain using wavelet transform, which has explicit physical implication, high damage sensitivity, and noise robustness. These advantages are demonstrated in numerical cases of damaged bars, and results show that multiscale slope vibration shapes can be used for identifying and locating damage in a noisy environment. A three-dimensional (3D) scanning laser vibrometer is used to measure the longitudinal steady-state response shape of an aluminum bar with damage due to reduced cross-sectional dimensions under harmonic excitation, and results show that the method can successfully identify and locate the damage. Slopes of longitudinal vibration shapes are shown to be suitable for damage detection in bars and have potential for applications in noisy environments.

While structural damage detection based on flexural vibration shapes, such as mode shapes and steady-state response shapes under harmonic excitation, has been well developed, little attention is paid to that based on longitudinal vibration shapes that also contain damage information. This study originally formulates a slope vibration shape (SVS) for damage detection in bars using longitudinal vibration shapes. To enhance noise robustness of the method, an SVS is transformed to a multiscale slope vibration shape (MSVS) in a multiscale domain using wavelet transform, which has explicit physical implication, high damage sensitivity, and noise robustness. These advantages are demonstrated in numerical cases of damaged bars, and results show that MSVSs can be used for identifying and locating damage in a noisy environment. A three-dimensional (3D) scanning laser vibrometer (SLV) is used to measure the longitudinal steady-state response shape of an aluminum bar with damage due to reduced cross-sectional dimensions under harmonic excitation, and results show that the method can successfully identify and locate the damage. Slopes of longitudinal vibration shapes are shown to be suitable for damage detection in bars and have potential for applications in noisy environments.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the nonlinear axial response of a thrust bearing-rotor system, which is subjected to an axial harmonic force. For the axial vibration of the rotor, the system forces include the external axial harmonic force and the reacting oil film forces, which are obtained by solving a time-dependent Reynolds Equation within the thrust pads of the thrust bearing. The time-dependent Reynolds Equation is solved by a finite difference method, and the system equation of motion is solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. A linear analysis is attempted in to evaluate its suitability for the situation under consideration. And the bearing stiffness and damping coefficients are investigated with parameters including the dimensionless wedge thickness, the initial oil film thickness and the rotor spin speed. The results show that the average steady state response will decrease as the harmonic axial force intensifies its fluctuating magnitude. The results also indicate that it will induce ultra-super harmonics when the axial harmonic force intensifies its fluctuating magnitude.
