Physics-based simulations are now widely employed in mechanical engineering. Flexible Multibody dynamic Simulations (FMBSs) have proven to be effective in representing the behavior of complex structures with local damping and stiffness nonlinearities...

The steering linkage represents a key subsystem of any automobile, playing a direct role in vehicle handling, driving safety, and overall comfort. Within this mechanism, the tie rod and tie rod end are crucial for transmitting steering forces from th...

This paper reviews, analyses, and suggests practical mitigation techniques at source for reducing vibration-induced annoyance to occupants in building structures that are built on top of significant railway infrastructure. The dynamic characteristics...

Vibration band gap structures are advanced materials for vibration wave mitigation from metamaterials to phononic crystals from simple geometrical manipulations. Here, we present geometrical structures, made from platonic solids, that are capable of...

The environmental adaptability of outdoor power connectors exerts a crucial influence on the reliability of electrical systems. In this work, the current-carrying performance degradation of commercial power connectors under forced mechanical vibratio...

Elevated stations are essential auxiliary structures within the high-speed rail (HSR) network. The newly constructed integrated elevated station for bridge building possesses a distinctive construction and intricate force transmission pathways, compl...

Due to its effective noise reduction, the semi-enclosed noise barrier is increasingly being applied in the construction of high-speed railways. However, there is still a lack of systematic research on the wind load distribution characteristics under...

This paper examines the generic case of nonlinear mechanical oscillation under the influence of Hertzian-type restoring forces, a model relevant to phenomena involving elastic contact. The study addresses the complexity of strongly nonlinear systems...

Ground-borne vibrations caused by railway traffic represent a significant environmental concern, particularly in densely populated or vibration-sensitive urban areas. These phenomena can lead to discomfort and annoyance among residents, interfere wit...

The natural frequencies and damping characterisation of a new aerospace grade composite material were investigated using a modified impulse method combined with the half power bandwidth method, which is applicable to the structures with a low damping...
