Dynamics and Control of Global Instabilities in Open-Flows: A Linearized ApproachApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 63 Số 3 - 2010
Denis Sipp, Olivier Marquet, Philippe Méliga, Alexandre Barbagallo
This review article addresses the dynamics and control of low-frequency unsteadiness, as observed in some aerodynamic applications. It presents a coherent and rigorous linearized approach, which enables both to describe the dynamics of commonly encountered open-flows and to design open-loop and closed-loop control strategies, in view of suppressing or delaying instabilities. The approach i...... hiện toàn bộ
On the Role of Nonlinearities in Vibratory Energy Harvesting: A Critical Review and DiscussionApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 66 Số 4 - 2014
Mohammed F. Daqaq, Ravindra Masana, Alper Ertürk, D. Dane Quinn
The last two decades have witnessed several advances in microfabrication technologies and electronics, leading to the development of small, low-power devices for wireless sensing, data transmission, actuation, and medical implants. Unfortunately, the actual implementation of such devices in their respective environment has been hindered by the lack of scalable energy sources that are neces...... hiện toàn bộ
A Review of Elastic–Plastic Contact MechanicsApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 69 Số 6 - 2017
Hamid Ghaednia, Xianzhang Wang, Swarna Saha, Yang Xu, Aman Sharma, Robert L. Jackson
In typical metallic contacts, stresses are very high and result in yielding of the material. Therefore, the study of contacts which include simultaneous elastic and plastic deformation is of critical importance. This work reviews the current state-of-the-art in the modeling of single asperity elastic–plastic contact and, in some instances, makes comparisons to original findings of the auth...... hiện toàn bộ
Cable Modeling and Internal Damping DevelopmentsApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 65 Số 1 - 2013
Kaitlin Spak, Gregory S. Agnes, Daniel J. Inman
This paper reviews models of helical cable behavior with an emphasis on recent models that study internal cable damping. Cable models are categorized into three major classes consisting of thin rod models, semicontinuous models, and beam models. Research on cable vibration damping resulting from internal factors is investigated and related, with conclusions supported by multiple bodies of ...... hiện toàn bộ

Simulation of Multi-Dimensional Gaussian Stochastic Fields by Spectral RepresentationApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 49 Số 1 - Trang 29-53 - 1996
Masanobu Shinozuka, George Deodatis
The subject of this paper is the simulation of multi-dimensional, homogeneous, Gaussian stochastic fields using the spectral representation method. Following this methodology, sample functions of the stochastic field can be generated using a cosine series formula. These sample functions accurately reflect the prescribed probabilistic characteristics of the stochastic field when the number ...... hiện toàn bộ
On the Dynamics of Cracked Rotors: A Literature SurveyApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 43 Số 1 - Trang 13-17 - 1990
Jo ̈rg Wauer
Propagating fatigue cracks can have detrimental effects on the reliability of rotating machinery. An early crack warning can considerably extend the durability of these very expensive machines, increasing their reliability at the same time. Vibration monitoring as a means of detecting crack initiation has been receiving much interest. A detailed study of the vibrational behavior of cracked...... hiện toàn bộ

Impact on Laminated Composite MaterialsApplied Mechanics Reviews - Tập 44 Số 4 - Trang 155-190 - 1991
Serge Abrate
Laminated composite materials are used extensively in aerospace and other applications. With their high specific modulus, high specific strength, and the capability of being tailored for a specific application, these materials offer definite advantages compared to more traditional materials. However, their behavior under impact is a concern, since impacts do occur during manufacture, norma...... hiện toàn bộ
