The nonlinear, steady-state response of a displacement-forced link coupling with clearance with finite stiffness is determined. The solution procedure is derived from satisfying the boundary conditions at the contact points and then solving the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations by setting the duration of contact as a parameter. This direct approach to determining periodic solutions for systems with clearances with finite stiffness is substantially more efficient than numerical integration schemes. Results in terms of contact forces and durations of contact are pertinent to fatigue and wear studies. Parametric relations are presented for effects of the variation of damping, stiffness, exciting displacement, and gap length on the dynamic behavior of the link pair.

A method based on a variational procedure in conjunction with a finite difference method is used to examine the free vibration characteristics and steady-state response to a sinusoidally varying force applied orthotropic elastic rectangular plate carrying masses. Using the energy-based finite difference method, the problem reduced to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Due to the significance of the fundamental natural frequency of the plate, its variation is investigated with respect to the mechanical properties of the plate material, the translational spring coefficient of the supports, the mass distribution, the mass locations and the quantity of mass. The steady-state response of the viscoelastically supported plates was also investigated numerically for the damping coefficient of the supports and the force distribution in addition to the characteristics of the plate system. Many new results are presented and the validity of the present approach is demonstrated by comparing the results with other solutions based on the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory.

Auditory Steady State Response

Two studies were aimed at developing the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) for universal newborn hearing screening. First, neonates who had passed auditory brainstem response, transient evoked otoacoustic emission, and distortion-product otoacoustic emission tests were also tested with ASSRs using modulated tones that varied in frequency and level. Pass rates were highest (> 90%) for amplitude-modulated tones presented at levels ≥ 69 dB SPL. The effect of modulation frequency on ASSR for 500- and 2000-Hz tones was evaluated in full-term and premature infants in the second study. Full-term infants had higher pass rates for 2000-Hz tones amplitude modulated at 74 to 106 Hz compared with pass rates for a 500-Hz tone modulated at 58 to 90 Hz. Premature infants had lower pass rates than full-term infants for both carrier frequencies. Systematic investigation of ASSR threshold and the effect of modulation frequency in neonates is needed to adapt the technique for screening.

The direct determination of the steady state response for linear time invariant (LTI) systems modeled by multibond graphs is presented. Firstly, a multiport junction structure of a multibond graph in an integral causality assignment (MBGI) to get the state space of the system is introduced. By assigning a derivative causality to the multiport storage elements, the multibond graph in a derivative causality (MBGD) is proposed. Based on this MBGD, a theorem to obtain the steady state response is presented. Two case studies to get the steady state of the state variables are applied. Both cases are modeled by multibond graphs, and the symbolic determination of the steady state is obtained. The simulation results using the 20-SIM software are numerically verified.

Aim Deficits in synchronous, gamma-frequency neural oscillations may contribute to schizophrenia patients’ real-world functional impairment and can be measured electroencephalographically using the auditory steady-state response (ASSR). Gamma ASSR deficits have been reported in schizophrenia patients and individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for developing psychosis. We hypothesized that, in CHR patients, gamma ASSR would correlate with real-world functioning, consistent with a role for gamma synchrony deficits in functional impairment. Methods A total of 35 CHR patients rated on Global Functioning: Social and Role scales had EEG recorded while listening to 1-ms, 93-dB clicks presented at 40 Hz in 500-ms trains, in response to which 40-Hz evoked power and intertrial phase-locking factor (PLF) were measured. Results In CHR patients, lower 40-Hz PLF correlated with lower social functioning. Conclusions Gamma synchrony deficits may be a biomarker of real-world impairment at early stages of the schizophrenia disease trajectory.
