Background: Whole-body vibration is a modality of exercise used in humans for therapeutic purposes or to increase physical performance. In veterinary medicine there are only a few reports on the use of this technology. The ...

Mechanical shock is a common problem that is present in many situations, such as ground motion, blast, explosions, crash, and impact. The development of passive, active, or adaptive control and isolation strategies for ...

The problem of cracks in building plays a very important rule in civil engineering and architecture areas. Mechanical vibrations and its effects should be monitored to prevent major damages. This kind of problem affects ...

The electro-mechanical impedance technique has been extensively studied in recent decades as a non-destructive method for detecting structural damage in structural health monitoring applications using low-cost piezoelectric ...

For the purpose of solving the problems of vibration transmission and sound radiations in ships, synchrophasing control technology was presented. The phases of multiple rotating or reciprocating machines installed on a ...

Fuzzy initial value problems describing classical mechanical vibrations are the focus of this paper. In particular, this work considers systems described by nth-order linear ordinary differential equations whose initial ...

A translational Lanchester damper is a device that adds damping to a structure at a point using a series combination of a viscous damper and a mass. The problem in the practical realisation of such a device is that a ...

As it is known, the problems of free transverse vibrations and instability under in-plane loads of a plate are two different technological situations that have similarities in their approach to elastic solution. In fact, ...

Wind-excited vibrations in the frequency range of 10 to 50 Hz due to vortex shedding often cause fatigue failures in the cables of overhead transmission lines. Damping devices, such as the Stockbridge dampers, have been ...
