A threshold value of linear damping coefficient can be used directly for vibration suppression of both vibration modes. Comparison with the available published work is reported. passive vibration control spring pendulum...

... decay. The results from the dynamic measurement are compared with conventional static test and presented in the form of aerodynamic magnification. The yaw moment derivative exceeds that determined statically across reduced frequency range measured. The yaw damping derivative was found to be a function...

...Arnaud F. M. Bizard; Digby D. Symons; Norman A. Fleck; David Durban A one dimensional analytical model is developed for the steady state, axisymmetric flow of damp powder within a rotating impervious cone. The powder spins with the cone but migrates up the wall of the cone (along a generator) under...

...Ivan Wang The half power method is a technique commonly used for calculating the system damping using frequency response curves. Past derivations typically assume a small damping ratio but do not keep track of the order of magnitude when simplifying results and focus mainly on displacement...

... of the study consists of proving, in the case of classical damping, the independency of the stiffness subpartition corresponding to the measured degrees-of-freedom from the unmeasured ones. The same result is shown to be valid in the case of nonclassical damping but only for tridiagonal sparse stiffness matrix...

... second-order approach is proposed for this type of problems. The proposed approximation utilizes the idea of generalized proportional damping and expressions of approximate eigenvalues of the system. A closed-form expression of the equivalent second-order system has been derived. The new expression...

The effect of material viscoelasticity and structural damping on the stability margins of the flexible cylinder is examined, and some parameter studies on the governing parameters of the critical spinning speed are carried out.

An analysis, similar to that for the dissipation in a lap joint, is developed for an idealized microstructure characteristic of such coatings. A measure of damping (loss modulus) is extracted...

It is shown that Rayleigh quotients with stationary properties exist for systems with proportional viscous and nonviscous damping forces. It is also shown that the stationarity property of Rayleigh quotients in the case of nonproportional...
