To enhance transport safety and reliability of ropeway systems, it is essential to reduce the swing of the carriers that results from wind, etc. In the previous report [1], we provided a practical damping equipment using two rolling balls (hereinafter described as “two-ball rolling type damping equipment”) to reduce the swing of ropeway carriers. A linearized dynamic model is proposed. Then, on the basis of relevant parameters, the frequency response and time domain response of the system is studied and discussed. In this report, we will study relationship between theoretical best damping coefficient ratio and friction coefficient of two-ball system. Then we will provide the way to implement the desired damping for the two-ball system. We will then provide the detail on how to estimate the inherent damping within the two-ball system. In addition, we will show and discuss two balls behavior when this equipment works experimentally.

To enhance transport safety and reliability of ropeway systems, it is essential to reduce the swing of the carriers that results from wind, etc. As a means to lessen the swing of the carriers, we will propose damping equipment that uses two balls as the movable mass. We will also discuss the method for adjusting the design parameters for this equipment. Based on a simulation, we will determine the effect of this equipment. In addition, we will refer to the results of a model test to verify the effect of this damping equipment.

Piezoelectric materials are commonly found in many devices, but their usage is limited by the low strain and high stiffness of the material. This prevents their use in “soft” applications, such as compliant actuators for haptic feedback devices and wearable technology. The actuation dynamics of a ferro-electric relaxor terpolymer, a type of soft and high strain electroactive polymer (EAP), are examined. This paper studies the unimorph actuator via a linearized time-domain model and experiments to validate the model include step response and frequency response of tip displacement.

This paper proposes to verify and test the vibration of diesel’s undercarriage got by virtual measure and actual measure through the analysis of time domain characteristics and amplitude frequency response characteristics of three-orientation vibrant speed of diesel’s undercarriage, represents the difference in time domain characteristics and amplitude frequency response characteristics got by virtual measure and actual measure, expounds the reasons of difference and puts forward a method to diminution the difference. It proves that virtual measure can replace actual measure in a way, though there are some difference in existence, we can erase these difference to the best of ours’ abilities through enough analysis.
