Abstract In this paper a cross-shaped isolator consisting of cuboidal magnets and a cylindrical isolator are compared by resonance frequency to volume ratio and shape. Both isolators are capable of obtaining a low resonance frequency, i.e. 0.15 Hz and 0.01 Hz for the cross and cylinder, respectively. The volume of both isolators is comparable, only the shape is different, resulting in a tall structure with a small footprint for the cross and a flat with a large diameter cylindrical structure. A sensitivity analysis shows that due to the large amount of magnets, the cross-shaped isolator is less sensitive to manufacturing tolerances

ZnO nanostructures are promising candidates for use in sensors, especially in electrochemical sensors and biosensors, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, as well as sensitivity and selectivity to several types of contamination, including heavy metal ions. In this work, using the hydrothermal method, nanostructures of ZnO were synthesized in four different morphologies: nanorods, nanoneedles, nanotubes and nanoplates. To determine the peculiarities of adsorption for each morphology, a series of electrochemical measurements were carried out using these nanostructured ZnO coatings on the working electrodes, using aqueous solutions of Pb(NO3)2 and Cd(NO3)2 as analytes with different concentrations. It was found that the sensitivity of the resulting electrochemical sensors depends on the morphology of the ZnO nanostructures: the best results were achieved in the case of porous nanostructures (nanotubes and nanoplates), whereas the lowest sensitivity corresponded to ZnO nanorods with a large diameter (i.e., low surface-to-volume ratio). The efficiency of sedimentation is also related to the electronegativity of adsorbate: it has been shown that all observed ZnO morphologies exhibited significantly higher sensitivity in detecting lead ions compared to cadmium ions.

Abstract Porous gold nanoparticles (PGNs) are very popular due to their high surface/volume ratio, moreover they have stronger plasmonic properties than their solid counterparts. These properties make the porous gold nanoparticles very useful for lots of applications, for instance chemical sensors, cancer therapy applications. For applications, however, it is indispensable that the resonance frequency (RF) of a plasmonic structure to be tuneable. In this work we show that the RF can be set in a wide range as desired by coating the PGNs by mixed oxide layers. By changing the composition of the coating layer, that is the mixture ratio, the RF can be shifted practically continuously in a wide range determined by the refractive index of the used oxides. As a demonstration, PGNs were coated with mixed alumina-titania oxide layers (5–7 nm) using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition method. The oxide layer, beside as a tuning tool, also stabilises the structure of the PGNs when are exposed to elevated temperature. This is shown by the influence of the temperature (from $$350\, ^{\circ }\hbox {C}$$ 350 ∘ C up to $$900\, ^{\circ }\hbox {C}$$ 900 ∘ C ) on the morphology, and as a consequence the optical extinction spectra, of the oxide coated PGNs.

An investigation using averaging method is carried out to obtain the frequency response of a class of vibration isolators with saturation spring. The saturation characteristics are modeled using a hyperbolic-tangent function. The hyperbolic-tangent saturation function is compared with other popular saturation functions, using piecewise nonlinear approximation. A parameteric study indicates that piecewise linear approximation of saturating functions provide results that are close enough to the results of hyperbolic tangent approximation. A sensitivity analysis of frequency response of the system is also investigated based on the piecewise linear approximation.

In this paper, the main influence factors of stress-concentrated coefficient Kt of cross shaped board-welded hollow spherical joints were analyzed by ANSYS. Through the combination of 17 specifications of welded hollow spheres and 40 specifications of cross shaped boards to form 122 kinds of cross shaped board–welded hollow spherical Joints, the paper mainly analyzed the influence on stress-concentrated coefficient Kt from some factors as follows: the length of the connection of the cross shaped boards (a)、the thickness of the cross shaped boards (t) , the outside diameter of the welded-hollow spheres (D) , the thickness of the spheres (δ), the weld size (hf) and the cross shaped boards which are cut or not. The analysis results showed: the SCF of the joints and some factors(a、t、D、δand hf) in all .A cross shaped board to cut its corner or not affected the stress distribution of the joints and the biggest difference between 12%; In the cross shaped boards connected the same length, when it rises to some degree, the influence of (δ) on ( Kt) is smaller; Along with the thickness of the large diameter welded hollow spheres increases, the slope of the stress-concentrated coefficient Kt increases; It is better to choose the hollow spheres with the small diameter or thick wall, and choose the cross shaped boards which shall be a little thinner, and also increase the connected length between the welded hollow spheres and the cross shaped boards; When the weld size is larger than or equal to 12 millimeters, SCF gently changes.

Numerical simulation of vibration control of a submerged stiffened cylindrical structure with active vibration isolators is presented. Vibration transmission from vibrating machinery to the cylindrical structure through the active vibration isolators is analyzed by a numerical model synthesized from frequency response functions (FRFs) and impedances. The coupled finite element/boundary element (FE/BE) method is employed to study the vibro-acoustic behavior of the fluid-loaded cylindrical structure. Sound pressure in the far-field is calculated in terms of the pressure and normal acceleration of the outer surface of the cylindrical shell. An adaptive multichannel control based on the filtered-x least mean squares (FxLMS) algorithm is used in the active vibration isolation. Simulation results have demonstrated that suppression of vibration of the four elastic foundations attached to the cylindrical shell will reduce the spatial-average mean-square velocity and the instantaneous radiated power of the cylindrical shell. As a result, suppression of vibration of the foundations leads to attenuation of sound radiation in the far-field induced by the radial displacement dominant mode of the shell. Moreover, vibration suppression is greatly influenced by the strong couplings among control channels. According to these results, it can be concluded that the proposed method is effective in the analysis of underwater sound radiation control of cylindrical structures.
