Viscoelastic Layers

Formulations are presented for enhancing the serviceability of one-way floor systems subjected to dynamic loading through the use of constrained viscoelastic layers. The constrained layers are combined with the floors and the resulting systems are analyzed as sandwich structures using a double Fourier series approach. Results indicate that the damping of the resulting sandwich beams is governed by factors related to the elastic and geometric properties of the constrained layer and the constraining system (i.e. cover plates and beams) and the loss modulus of the viscoelastic material, and is highly influenced by the location of the viscoelastic layer in the sandwich beams. Optimum designs of the sandwich beams are obtained using the box algorithm optimization technique.

Steady-state modelling method for matrix-reactance frequency converter with boost topologyThis paper presents a method intended for calculation of steady-state processes in AC/AC three-phase converters that are described by nonstationary periodical differential equations. The method is based on the extension of nonstationary differential equations and the use of Galerkin's method. The results of calculations are presented in the form of a double Fourier series. As an example, a three-phase matrix-reactance frequency converter (MRFC) with boost topology is considered and the results of computation are compared with a numerical method.

Function Of Two Variables

A function of two variables may be expanded in a double Fourier series, as a function of one variable is expanded in an ordinary Fourier series. Purpose that the function f ( x, y ) possesses a double Lebesgue integral over the square (– π < π ; – π < y < π ). Then the general term of the double Fourier series of this function is given by cos = є mn { a mn cos mx cos ny + b mn sin mx sin ny + c mn cos mx sin ny + d mn sin mx cos ny } There є 00 = ¼, є m0 = ½ ( m > 0), є 0n = ½ ( n > 0), є ms = 1 ( m > 0, n >0). the coefficients are given by the formulæ a mn = 1/ π 2 ∫ π -π ∫ π -π f ( x, y ) cos mx cos ny dx dy , obtained by term-by-term integration, as in an ordinary Fourier series. Ti sum of a finite number of terms of the series may also be found as in the ordinary theory. Thus ∫ ms = Σ m μ = 0 Σ n v = 0 A μ v = 1/π 2 ∫ π -π ∫ π -π f (s, t) sin( m +½) ( s - x ) sin ( n + ½) ( t - y )/2 sin ½ ( s - x ) 2 sin ½ ( t - y ) if f ( s , t ) is defined outside the original square by double periodicity, we have sub S ms = 1/π 2 ∫ π 0 ∫ π 0 f ( x + s , y + t ) + f ( x + s , y - t ) + f ( x - s , y + t ) + f ( x - s , y - t ) sin ( m + ½) s / 2 sin ½ s sin ( n + ½) t / 2 sin ½ t ds dt .

Abstract Control of dynamic vibration is critical to the operational success of many flexible mechanism systems. This paper addresses the problem of vibration control of such mechanisms through passive damping, using constrained layer damping treatment technique. A new type of shape function for three layer frame element containing a viscoelastic layer is developed. The equations of motion of the damped flexible mechanism are derived. Modal loss factors of this kind mechanisms are predicated from undamped normal mode by means of the modal strain energy method. Comparisons between the results obtained by this paper and the results obtained by exact solution of the governing equations for a well known sandwich beam demonstrate that the method presented in this paper is correct and reliable. Application of this method in predication of modal damping ratios for damped mechanisms is discussed. It is believed that the method of this paper hold the greatest potential for optimal design of damped flexible mechanism systems.

Theoretical Approaches

Inclined threading dislocations (TDs) piercing the oriented free surface of a crystal are currently observed after growth of oriented thin films on substrates. Up to date the unique way to treat their anisotropic elastic properties nearby the free surface region is to use the integral formalism, which assumes no dislocation core size and needs numerical double integrations. In a first stage of the work, a new and alternative approach to the integral formalism is developed using double Fourier series and the concept of a finite core size, which is often observed in high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In a second stage, the integral formalism and the Fourier series approaches are applied to the important case of a TD piercing the basal free surface of a hexagonal crystal. For this particular geometry, easy-to-use expressions are derived and compared to a third approach previously known for a plate-like crystal. Finally, the numerical interest and the convergence of these approaches are tested using the basal free surface of the GaN compound, in particular for TDs with Burgers vectors c and (a + c).

Control Methodology

A control methodology based on a nonlinear control algorithm and optimization technique is presented in this paper. A controller called “the robust integral of the sign of the error” (in short, RISE) is applied to control chaotic systems. The optimum RISE controller parameters are obtained via genetic algorithm optimization techniques. RISE control methodology is implemented on two chaotic systems, namely, the Duffing-Holms and Van der Pol systems. Numerical simulations showed the good performance of the optimized RISE controller in tracking task and its ability to ensure robustness with respect to bounded external disturbances.
