Vibration, Volume 6, Issue 1

Seat suspension plays a vital role in improving riding comfort and protecting drivers’ health. This paper develops semi-active seat suspension that equips a controllable electromagnetic damper (EMD) and proposes a prescribed performance control...

This paper presents a 2-link, 2-DOF flexible manipulator control using an inverse feedforward controller and an adaptive notch filter with a direct strain feedback controller. In the flexible manipulator, transient and residue vibrations inhibit the...

This paper is concerned with the free and forced vibration responses of a magneto/electroactive dielectric elastomer, emphasizing the chaotic phenomena. The dielectric elastomers under external magnetic and electrical excitations undergo large elasti...

The QLX is a low-profile automatic powered wheelchair docking system (WDS) prototype developed to improve the securement and discomfort of wheelchair users when riding in vehicles. The study evaluates the whole-body vibration effects between the prop...

In the nursery sector, the transport and planting of trees must occur with the roots wrapped in a ball of the original earth. The cutting of the original soil can be carried out with a semicircular vibrating blade moved by an oscillator mounted on a...

In order to evaluate final quality, nondestructive testing techniques for finding bearing flaws have grown in favor. The precision of image processing-based vision-based technology has greatly improved for defect identification, inspection, and class...

This work considers forced vibrations in a rotating structure consisting of a two-stage spur gear system with coexisting defects, specifically pitting and cracking. Numerical simulations and experimental analysis in various scenarios of the system in...

This study investigated the effects of gender and ten different anthropometric parameters on the vertical vibration transmission from seat to the head of the body seated on an elastic seat. The seat-to-head transmissibility (STHT) responses in the ve...

To detect human survivors trapped in buildings after earthquakes by using structure-borne sound it is necessary to have knowledge of vibration transmission in collapsed and fragmented reinforced-concrete buildings. In this paper, statistical energy a...
