Study on the Damping Efficiency of a Structure with Additional Viscous Dampers Based on the Shaking Table Test

open access: yesBuildings
This study specifically focuses on the damping efficiency of a damped structure with additional viscous dampers. A two-layer steel frame structure with eight sets of viscous dampers is used to conduct a series of seismic simulation shaking table tests ...

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

\u27Geometric\u27 Viscous Damping Model for Nearly Constant Beam Modal Damping

open access: yes, 2013
This paper considers the damped transverse vibration of flexural structures. Viscous damping models available to date, such as proportional damping, suffer from the deficiency that the resulting modal damping is strongly frequency dependent, which is a ...

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.

Viscous damping of r-modes: Large amplitude saturation

open access: yes, 2012
We analyze the viscous damping of r-mode oscillations of compact stars, taking into account nonlinear viscous effects in the large-amplitude regime. The qualitatively different cases of hadronic stars, strange quark stars, and hybrid stars are studied ...

Three-dimensional investigation of the stokes eigenmodes in hollow circular cylinder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/857821This paper studies the influence of boundary conditions on a fluid medium of finite depth.We determine the frequencies and the modal shapes of the fluid.The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and viscous.

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Viscous Damping of Surface Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this article, the viscous damping of surface waves in a layer of constant depth is determined. A viscous term is included in Bernoulli equation, which agrees with NavierStoke's equation as proved here.
