Vibration, Volume 8, Issue 3

Wire-rope isolators (WRIs) are widely used in vibration and seismic protection due to their multidirectional flexibility and amplitude-dependent hysteretic damping. However, their complex nonlinear behavior, especially under inclined and combined-mod...

The reduction in carbon footprint and scarcity of energy resources have increased the demand for renewable and sustainable energy resources, and thus, significant efforts have been concentrated on harnessing renewable and sustainable energy resources...

This paper presents a novel method for damage identification in aluminum beams using the contourlet transform. Four aluminum beams were used in the study: one was undamaged, while the other three had different damage scenarios. The damage included mi...

Ship stiffened panels, typically flat plates reinforced with various types of stiffeners, form a substantial part of a ship’s structure and are susceptible to resonance, especially in areas such as the after peak structure, engine room, and acc...

The half-through arch bridge short suspender is more prone to damage due to its high linear stiffness and special force characteristics. To analyze the vehicle-induced vibration characteristics of the short suspender during service, a half-through ar...

This study addresses the performance optimization of piezoelectric cantilever beam energy harvesters by proposing a design method based on surface arrayed groove modulation. Through systematic investigation of the effects of single grooves (upper sur...

The Fourier decomposition technique has notable advantages in filtering vibration acceleration signals and enhances the feasibility of frequency-domain mode decomposition. To improve the accuracy of mode extraction, this paper proposed a novel Fourie...

This study explores trajectory control in flexible manipulators using neural-network-based forward and inverse modeling. Unlike traditional approaches that enhance precision by increasing structural rigidity—often at the cost of added weight an...

Train-induced vibrations negatively impact residents in nearby buildings and are increasingly recognized as a public health concern. To address this issue, both effective mitigation measures and simplified design procedures are essential. This study...

Communication via optical fiber is increasingly being used in harsh applications where environmental vibration is present. This study involves a Weibull reliability analysis focused on the performance of fiber optic connectors when they are subjected...
