Energy harvesting using semi-active nonlinear control

open access: yes, 2013
This paper presents the application of semi-active control for power harvesting using an electromechanical energy harvester. Two semi-active control strategies are proposed in the form of a time-periodic damper and a nonlinear cubic damper.

Ship roll damping via direct inverse neural network control system

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2018
Undesired roll motions of surface vessels under sea way have negative influence on passengers, crew members, equipment and cargo. Damping roll motions is a complex problem due to unpredictable and irregular nature of marine environmental disturbances ...

The effect of cubic damping on a base excited isolator: an experimental study for harmonic excitation

open access: yes, 2013
An experimental study has been conducted to validate theoretical solutions for the response of a base excited single degree-of-freedom isolation system possessing pure cubic damping.

Invariant points of semi-active suspensions

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
The invariant points of the quarter vehicle model shape many properties concerned in vehicle suspension design. Although they have been studied for years, the invariant points are still confusing for their different traits.

Propagation and damping of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Quasi-periodic disturbances have been observed in the outer solar atmosphere for many years. Although first interpreted as upflows (Schrijver et al.

Structural Design and Vibration Suppression Characteristics Analysis of Semi-Active Eddy Current Damping Seat

open access: yesApplied Sciences
As components in direct contact with drivers and passengers in complex and challenging road conditions, automotive seats need to effectively absorb and isolate vibrations from the automotive chassis to minimize any adverse effects on the human body.

Meta-models of repeated dissipative joints for damping design phase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Developing tools to predict dissipation in mechanical assemblies starting from the design process is a subject of increasing interest. Design phases imply numerous computations resulting from the use of families of models with varying properties ...

Optimal design of structures with active constrained layer damping

open access: yes, 1995
A piezoelectric element and a constrained layer damping element are combined to allow for an active constrained layer damping treatment. The development of these elements are reviewed and results are compared with the literature to insure that the ...

Active Damping Control for the Modular Multi-Active-Bridge Converter

open access: yesEnergies
The modular multi-active bridge (MMAB) converter—characterized by electrical isolation, modular design, high power density, and high efficiency—can be readily scaled to multiple DC ports through an internal shared high-frequency bus (HFB), establishing ...
