Non-smooth piecewise functional isolators are smart passive vibration isolators that can provide effective isolation for high frequency/low amplitude excitation by introducing a soft primary suspension, and by preventing a high relative displacement in low frequency/high amplitude excitation by introducing a relatively damped secondary suspension. In this investigation a linear secondary suspension is attached to a nonlinear primary suspension. The primary is assumed to be nonlinear to model the inherent nonlinearities involved in real suspensions. However, the secondary suspension comes into action only during a short period of time, and in mall domain around resonance. Therefore, a linear assumption for the secondary suspension is reasonable. The dynamic behavior of the system subject to a harmonic base excitation has been analyzed utilizing the analytic results derived by applying the averaging method. The analytic results match very well in the transition between the two suspensions. A sensitivity analysis has shown the effect of varying dynamic parameters in the steady state behavior of the system.

Abstract This paper aims to explore the actual working mechanism of sandwich-like meta-plates by periodically attaching nonlinear mass-beam-spring (MBS) resonators for low-frequency wave absorption. The nonlinear MBS resonator consists of a mass, a cantilever beam and a spring that can provide negative stiffness in the transverse vibration of the resonator, and its stiffness is tunable by changing the parameters of the spring. Considering the nonlinear stiffness of the resonator, the energy method is applied to obtain the dispersion relation of the sandwich-like meta-plate and the band-gap bounds related to the amplitude of resonator is derived by dispersion analysis. For the finite sized sandwich-like meta-plate with the fully free boundary condition subjected to external excitations, its dynamic equation is also established by the Galerkin method. The frequency response analysis of the meta-plate is carried out by the numerical simulation, whose band-gap range demonstrates good agreement with the theoretical one. Results show that the band-gap range of the present meta-plate is tunable by the design of the structural parameters of the MBS resonator. Furthermore, by analyzing the vibration suppression of the finite sized meta-plate, it can be observed that the nonlinearity of resonators can widen the wave attenuation range of meta-plate.

In this paper, we report the nonlinear magnetoelectric response in a homogenous magnetostrictive/piezoelectric laminate material. The proposed magnetoelectric stack Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9/piezofiber is made up of high-permeability magnetostrictive Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 foils and a piezoelectric Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 fiber composite. The time dependence of magnetoelectric interactions in the Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9/piezofiber structure driven by pulsed magnetic field was investigated in detail. The experimental results show that the magnetoelectric effect is strongly dependent on the external bias magnetic and pulsed magnetic field parameters. To detect the amplitude of a pulsed magnetic field, the output sensitivity reaches 17 mV/Oe, which is excited by a 100 μs width field. In addition, to measure the pulsed width, the output sensitivity reaches 5.4 mV/μs in the range of 0–300 μs. The results show that the proposed Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9/piezofiber sensor is ideally suited for pulsed magnetic field measurement.

A low-frequency response analysis of three Grass model 7 polygraphs was undertaken. Observed error was generally found to fall within the manufacturer's stated range of +5 to -10% of DC signal height over the frequency range of human respiration (0.1–3 Hz), but this was not the case for frequencies greater than 6 Hz under certain circumstances. The magnitude of error was seen to vary directly with frequency and indirectly with pen-deflection amplitude and paper speed. The pen-oscillograph apparatus was the predominant source of low-frequency error, and this is probably due to pen inertia and pen friction on the writing surface. Two schemes to reduce such error are presented.

There has been much recent interest in the response analysis and optimisation of the linear energy harvester under ambient vibrations. To transfer maximum power to an electrical load in a resonant system, the load resistance should be equal to the sum of the electrical analogue of mechanical damping and internal resistance. However, principally because of the limited bandwidth offered by the linear energy harvester, the potential benefit of nonlinearity has recently been applied to improve the effectiveness of energy harvesting devices. For example, a Duffing-type oscillator can provide a wider bandwidth and greater effectiveness when subject to periodic excitations. The motivating hypothesis has been that the nonlinear Duffing energy harvester can also be optimised to maximise the available electrical power. This paper presents theoretical optimisation and numerical studies under three different conditions with the designed Duffing-type devices. First, the simplest model without any transmission mechanism and optimisation constraints is considered. Second, a device operated under low frequency and large force excitations using a ball screw to convert low-speed linear motion to high-speed rotation is analysed, where the optimum lead and load resistance are derived. Finally, considering the limitation of some dimensions in practical implementation, the constrained optimisation subjected to the maximum displacement of the seismic mass is also shown in this paper.

This document describes and demonstrates the features of a new innovative hydraulic Power take-Off (PTO) to be used for Wave Energy Conversion. This device is able to transform low frequency oscillating movement into a continuous high frequency angular speed, absorbing high fluctuated torque at the input shaft, which can reach up to 8000Nm. Moreover, the major breakthrough of this device is that it can control the braking torque through the modification of some geometrical parameters, L and R, and through the activation of more than one hydraulic cylinder together with the pressure. The output shaft of the PTO is able to rotate at different continuous rated speed through the actuation on a specific control valve at the inlet of the hydraulic motor. Tests to check the behavior of the PTO related to the smoothening of the power output and concerning the time needed to increase the high pressure and the time available after the accumulation of some quantity of energy in different initial conditions are presented.
