This paper investigates a new passive damper coupling the energy dissipative mechanisms
of dry friction and piezoelectric shunting circuit for Integrally Bladed Disks (blisks). The idea …

The nonlinear behaviors of breathing cracked beam vibration are investigated. A continuous
model based on Timoshenko beam theory is established, whose breathing effect is …

Resonant vibrations of aircraft engine blades cause blade fatigue problems in engines,
which can lead to thicker and aerodynamically lower performing blade designs, increasing …

This paper considers the RL shunt damping of rotationally periodic structures with an array
of regularly spaced piezoelectric patches. The technique is targeted to the damping of a …

An effective method is presented for multi-mode vibration attenuation of mistuned bladed
disk (blisk) by employing ring-like array structure composed of multiple frictional tuned mass …

Machining is among the most versatile material removal processes in the manufacturing
industry. To better optimize the machining process, the knowledge of shear strains and …

This paper proposes a wave-like hybrid damper containing both dry friction and
piezoelectric damping mechanisms for thin-walled structures. The idea is to distribute …

Increased arterial stiffness is associated with atherosclerosis in humans, but there have
been limited animal studies investigating the relationship between these factors. We bred …
