Effects of Damping and Reynolds Number on Vortex-Induced Vibrations [PDF]
Vortex-induced vibrations have been studied experimentally with emphasis on damping and Reynolds number effects. Our system was an elastically-mounted rigid circular cylinder, free to oscillate only transverse to the flow direction, with very low ...

AIM/CD5L attenuates DAMPs in the injured brain and thereby ameliorates ischemic stroke [PDF]
The sterile inflammation caused by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) worsens the prognosis following primary injury such as ischemic stroke. However, there are no effective treatments to regulate DAMPs. Here, we report that AIM (or CD5L) protein reduces sterile inflammation by attenuating DAMPs and that AIM administration ameliorates the ...

Frequency-dependent attenuation and elasticity in unconsolidated earth materials: Effect of damping [PDF]
ABSTRACT We used the discrete element method (DEM) to understand the underlying attenuation mechanism in granular media, with special applicability to the measurements of the so-called effective mass developed earlier. We considered that the particles interacted via Hertz-Mindlin elastic contact forces and that the damping was ...

On the Effect of Nonlinear Energy Sink Damping in Seismic Vibration Attenuation
Abstract Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NESs) have been proposed for passively reducing the amplitude of vibrations in different types of structures. The main advantage of NES over traditional Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) lies in its capability to redistribute the vibrating energy inside a primary structure, what effectively reduces the amplitude of the ...

Comparative Analysis of Viscous Damping Model and Hysteretic Damping Model
A damping model is one of the key factors in dynamic analysis. Viscous damping and hysteretic damping models are commonly used in structural damping models.

Damping modification factors for acceleration response spectra
DMF (Damping modification factors) are used to modify elastic response spectral values corresponding to damping ratio 5% to other damping levels. The influence of seismological parameters (magnitude, epicentral distances and site conditions) on DMF for ...

Biological control via “ecological” damping: An approach that attenuates non-target effects [PDF]
In this work we develop and analyze a mathematical model of biological control to prevent or attenuate the explosive increase of an invasive species population in a three-species food chain. We allow for finite time blow-up in the model as a mathematical construct to mimic the explosive increase in population, enabling the species to reach "disastrous"

Dynamic Viscosity and Transverse Ultrasonic Attenuation of Engineering Materials
In this paper, ultrasonic attenuation of the transverse waves of engineering materials is evaluated, covering metals, ceramics, polymers, fiber-reinforced plastics, and rocks. After verifying experimental methods, 273 measurements are conducted and their

Low frequency damping of metal panels in ambient Air [PDF]
Mathematical models of structural dynamics are widely used and applied in many branches of science and engineering and it has been argued that many of the shortfalls with these models are due to the fact that the physics of joint dynamics are not ...

Time-lapse seismic attenuation as a tool for monitoring hydrocarbons and CO2 in geological materials [PDF]
Both laboratory experiments and theoretical models have shown seismic attenuation to be sensitive to various petrophysical properties of rock and pore fluids, making attenuation a potentially useful time-lapse attribute to measure and interpret through ...
