Modern mechanical and civil structures are increasingly designed using polymeric composites that ensure great strength-to-mass ratio and are resistant to various environmental interactions, like corrosion. The application of sandwich structures in the design of mechanical and civil constructions is determined by their good stiffness properties and very low mass, which is a very attractive combination. Due to their wide applicability, these structures should be properly maintained and diagnosed, and thus, appropriate non-destructive testing (NDT) methods should be developed in order to detect and identify various types of damage. Special attention should be paid to internal damage (damage to the core of a sandwich structure), which cannot be detected during a visual inspection. In the paper, an NDT method based on modal analysis and further processing of modal shapes using a wavelet transform is proposed. Three sandwich structures with damage to the core of various types were experimentally tested using modal analysis, the damage positions were detected and identified using wavelet analysis, and verified by comparing the results of previously performed thermographic tests. The obtained results show a high effectiveness of the proposed approach, which could find an application in the industrial inspection of sandwich structures in a non-destructive and non-contact manner.

Protein microtubules are one of the most effective intracellular components. The microtubules structure is in a manner that their behaviour is similar to that of the orthotropic materials. Therefore, in this paper, size-dependent vibration of the anisotropic protein microtubule is studied. For this purpose, using a first shear deformable shell model and based on couple stress theory, new equations are developed for the dynamic behavior of anisotropic protein microtubule. After solving the governing equations of microtubule motion, the effects of cytoplasm environment, microtubule dimensions and its mechanical properties, and material length scale parameters on the natural frequency of microtubules are investigated.

A water muffler is used for the noise control of a hydraulic pipeline with an external gear pump. An experimental system is established to investigate the acoustic performance of the water muffler, in which the gear pump is utilized as the sound source and power supply. Comparisons between the experimental results of the reference tube, rubber tube, and water mufflers with different inner structures have been made. Numerical simulations on the rubber tube and different water mufflers with various inner structures have been conducted. Simulation results have been compared with the experimental results. These comparison results show that the rubber tube with a compliant wall substantially contributes to the reduction of the noise generated by the gear pump, especially at the high frequency band and relatively low rotate speed of the gear pump. The water muffler results in the enhancement of the noise reduction effect on the rubber tube. With the speed of the gear pump increasing from 1172 r/min to 2344 r/min, the effect of the noise reduction becomes much weaker, since the flow-induced noise gets more intensified. For the rubber tube, in particular, the sound pressure level gets close to that of the reference tube at the speed of 2344 r/min. Moreover, it has been proven by another important experimental result that the length of the inner structure can play a critical role to the flow noise generation.

We propose a new structure for piezoelectric gyroscopes. It is made from multilayered thin films of AlN or ZnO with alternating c-axes along the film thickness. It is shown theoretically that when such a film is electrically driven into higher-order overtone thickness-shear vibration in one of the two in-plane directions of the film and is rotating about the film normal, the Coriolis force due to the rotation causes a higher-order overtone thicknessshear vibration in a perpendicular direction with an electrical output that can be used to measure the angular rate of the rotation. Different from existing thickness-shear mode piezoelectric gyroscopes which are based on the fundamental or the second overtone thickness-shear mode, the proposed gyroscope operates with higher-order overtone thickness-shear modes with higher frequencies and hence potentially higher sensitivity. Because of the overtone modes, the Coriolis force acting on the gyroscope forms a self-equilibrated system and does not transmit a net force or torque to the mounting structure. This implies higher device quality factor and better performance.

Unbalance is an important fault that can damage or shut down vital rotary systems such as the gas turbine, compressors, and others, so to avoid this trouble, the balancing process is very crucial, even though it is time-consuming and costly. Thus, having a technique which can predict the unbalance location and its parameters will be valuable and practical. The current study represents a model that can identify the unbalance’s mass, radius, and location of the eccentric mass based on the artificial neural network (ANN) model. The inputs of the proposed ANN, which is based on a feed forward with back propagation model, is the bearing acceleration signal in the frequency domain. It has 10 hidden layers with 10 neurons through each layer. The accuracy in prediction was acquired at 96%, 96%, and 94% for the disc number (plane), the eccentric radius, and eccentric mass values, respectively.

The low frequency vibration transmitted to the body can affect the comfort, performance, and health of humans. In this paper, the effect of variations in posture and vibration magnitude on the head motion in three translational axes (fore-and-aft, lateral and vertical) has been studied with a vertical seat vibration. Thirty healthy male subjects were exposed to random vibration with three vibration magnitudes of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 m/s2 rms over the frequency range of 1–20 Hz. The results are analysed in terms of seat-to-head-transmissibility (STHT) for the head motions in two seated postures (backrest and leaning forward on table). The measurement of the head motion was made with an apparatus (bite-bar) specifically developed for this purpose. The measured responses to a single axis seat vibration have also shown notable cross-axis responses in both vertical and fore-and-aft axes for both postures. The crossaxis fore-aft and vertical STHT responses showed single peak near 5 Hz in both postures. An increasing intensity of vibration yields a non-linear softening effect in the muscle tension, particularly in the presence of back support, however, the body stiffens under a greater upper body motion in the forward leaning posture. The combined effect of the unsupported back and hands support was observed to be more pronounced around the resonance peak in the forward lean posture.
