The effect of damping on the response of a rigid block to harmonic excitation is considered. It is shown that the structure seen in the absence of damping is preserved in this case. Multiple solutions, asymmetric responses, period- and impact-doubling cascades still occur, albeit in different parts of parameter space. Explicit expressions are given for the stability boundaries. It is shown that, at certain values of the forcing frequency, the stability boundaries possess a local maximum as a function of the damping.


It is shown that heteroclinic bifurcations are present in a piecewise-linear system of ordinary differential equations that describe the rocking motion of a slender rigid block with damping. An exact expression is given for the bifurcation amplitude. Stable and unstable manifolds are analytically extended to explicitly reveal the intersections. As the damping increases, these bifurcations occur only at increasingly large forcing amplitudes, as manifolds move further apart. No perturbation methods are used in this analysis.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.

ABSTRACT This study presents an investigation of the inner tire surface strain measurement by using piezoelectric polymer transducers adhered on the inner liner of the tire, acting as strain sensors in both conventional and dual-chamber tires. The piezoelectric elements generate electrical charges when strain is applied. The inner liner tire strain can be found from the generated charge. A wireless data logger was employed to measure and transmit the measured signals from the piezoelectric elements to a PC to store and display the readout signals in real time. The strain data can be used as a monitoring system to recognize tire-loading conditions (e.g., traction, braking, and cornering) in smart tire technology. Finite element simulations, using ABAQUS, were employed to estimate tire deformation patterns in both conventional and dual-chamber tires for pure rolling and steady-state cornering conditions for different inflation pressures to simulate on-road and off-road riding tire performances and to compare with the experimental results obtained from both the piezoelectric transducers and tire test rig.
