Interfacial damping in assembled structures is difficult to predict and control since it depends on numerous system parameters such as elastic mismatch, roughness, contact geometry, and loading profiles. Most recently, phase difference between normal and tangential force oscillations has been shown to have a significant effect on interfacial damping. In this study, we conduct microscale (asperity-scale) experiments to investigate the influence of magnitude and phase difference of normal and tangential force oscillations on the energy dissipation in presliding spherical contacts. Our results show that energy dissipation increases with increasing normal preload fluctuations and phase difference. This increase is more prominent for higher tangential force fluctuations, thanks to larger frictional slip along the contact interface. We also show that the energy dissipation and tangential fluctuations are related through a power law. The power exponents we identify from the experiments reveal that contacts deliver a nonlinear damping for all normal preload fluctuation amplitudes and phase differences investigated. This is in line with the damping uncertainties and nonlinearities observed in structural dynamics community.

Behavior of friction at material interfaces is inherently nonlinear causing variations and uncertainties in interfacial energy dissipation. A finite element model (FEM) of an elastic–plastic spherical contact subjected to periodic normal and tangential loads is developed to study fundamental mechanisms contributing to the frictional energy dissipation. Particular attention is devoted to three mechanisms: the elastic mismatch between contacting pairs, plastic deformations, and phase difference between the normal and tangential fluctuations in loading. Small tangential loads simulating mild vibrational environments are applied to the model and resulting friction (hysteresis) loops are used to estimate the energy loss per loading cycle. The energy losses are then correlated against the maximum tangential load as a power-law where the exponents show the degree of nonlinearity. Exponents increase significantly with in-phase loading and increasing plasticity. Although increasing elastic mismatch facilitates more dissipation during normal load fluctuations, it has negligible influence on the power-law exponents in tangential loading. Among all the configurations considered, out-of-phase loading with minimal mismatch and no plasticity lead to the smallest power-law exponents; promising linear frictional dissipation. The duration the contact remains stuck during a loading cycle is found to have a predominant influence on the power-law exponents. Thus, controlling that duration enables tunable degree of nonlinearity and magnitude in frictional energy dissipation.

We present a digital holographic method to increase height range measurement with a reduced phase ambiguity using a dual-directional illumination. Small changes in the angle of incident illumination introduce phase differences between the recorded complex fields. We decrease relative phase difference between the recorded complex fields 279 and 139 times by changing the angle of incident 0.5° and 1°, respectively. A two cent Euro coin edge groove is used to measure the shape. The groove depth is measured as ≈300  μm. Further, numerical refocusing and analysis of speckle displacements in two different planes are used to measure the depth without a use of phase unwrapping process.

The nonlinear responses of ship rolling motion characterized by a roll damping moment are of great interest to naval architects and ocean engineers. Modeling and identification of the nonlinear damping moment are essential to incorporate the inherent nonlinearity in design, analysis, and control of a ship. A stochastic nonparametric approach for identification of nonlinear damping in the general mechanical system has been presented in the literature (Han and Kinoshits 2012). The method has been also applied to identification of the nonlinear damping moment of a ship at zero-forward speed (Han and Kinoshits 2013). In the presence of forward speed, however, the characteristic of roll damping moment of a ship is significantly changed due to the lift effect. In this paper, the stochastic inverse method is applied to identification of the nonlinear damping moment of a ship moving at nonzero-forward speed. The workability and validity of the method are verified with laboratory tests under controlled conditions. In experimental trials, two different types of ship rolling motion are considered: time-dependent transient motion and frequency-dependent periodic motion. It is shown that this method enables the inherent nonlinearity in damping moment to be estimated, including its reliability analysis.

In this paper, a Rössler-driving multistate intermittency is generated by a nonlinear system that contains controllable invariant subspaces. Intermittency-induced multiscroll attractor is found, and moreover, the control analysis is discussed, such as the number of attractors and the distance between laminar states can be easily adjusted by tuning some system parameters. The statistic behavior and power law distribution are also discussed, which reveal the regularities in the complex dynamics.

To study catenary characteristics of FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope) tie-down cable, this paper establishes tie-down cable equilibrium differential equation and cable length formula based on catenary theory, analyzes numerical simulation of multi-segment bar element method, and designs an experimental scheme. Taking 1×7 Ø12.7steel cable and Ø10 CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) cable for example, we can obtain three results respectively through manners mentioned above, and the agreement among them is excellent. Meanwhile, difference between results and elastic deformation of no-weight cable is not so big that catenary of two cables can be negligible. Further research shows that cable length is more sensitive to catenary than horizontal angle; cable longer deformation will benefit actuator to meet position precision effortlessly, however, stroke and velocity of actuator will increase and initial tension displacement of tie-down cable decrease correspondingly, this alteration should be compensated during reflector surface measuring and controlling; due to chord-tangent angle and tangential force is less than 1.28°and 241.4N, catenary effect on joint pose is weaker; generally speaking, CFRP cable has less catenary problem than steel cable, better mechanics characteristics, but bigger stroke and velocity for actuator and smaller initial tension displacement for tie-down cable. The research will provide references for design of tie-down cable, actuator, joint, and reflector measurement and control.

This paper analyzes the role of nonlinear dissipation on the universal escape oscillator. Nonlinear damping terms proportional to the power of the velocity are assumed and an investigation on its effects on the dynamics of the oscillator, such as the threshold of period-doubling bifurcation, fractal basin boundaries and how the basins of attraction are destroyed, is carried out. The results suggest that increasing the power of the nonlinear damping, has similar effects as of decreasing the damping coefficient for a linearly damped case, showing the very importance of the level or amount of energy dissipation.

In order to provide a simplified and low-cost solution of the terminal for a distributed actuation system, this paper proposes an electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA) based on the linear drive principle. The proposed actuator is directly driven by a linear pump with a collaborative rectification mechanism, whose performance relies on the collaboration of the internal two units. A pair of linear oscillating motors are employed to drive the two pump units respectively. The control of the actuator is based on the modulation of the oscillating amplitude, frequency, and phase difference of the two motors. The advantage of this actuator is that no more valve control is needed to rectify the linear pump besides the high efficiency of the direct pump drive. In this paper, both schematic and detailed structure of the actuator is presented. The kinematic and dynamic characteristics are analyzed and modeled, based on which the control method is proposed. The experiments verify the validity of the actuator structure and control.

Stutterers and nonstutterers cancelled the auditory sensation evoked by bone-conducted sinusoidal signals. They accomplished this by appropriate phase and amplitude adjustments of simultaneously presented bilateral air-conducted signals of the same frequency. Criterion measures of interaural phase difference at the point of cancellation were obtained for seven frequencies. The mean interaural phase differences obtained by stutterers were consistently greater than those of the nonstutterers. Based on time-equivalent values of the mean interaural phase differences, the values for stutterers were approximately twice as great as for nonstutterers at 150, 300, and 1200 Hz. The mean interaural phase difference found to exist for stutterers at 150 Hz approximates the magnitude of phase shift of normally delayed air-conducted auditory feedback of speech sounds that serves to induce experimental blockage of phonation. This relationship, in view of other findings, offers credence to the idea that disturbance of laryngeal function effected by an anomalous audition-phonation control system could be a causative agent in stuttering.
