    Ola Adil Ibrahim1, Gunawan Widjaja2, Abdulhussien N. Alattabi3, Krishanveer Singh4, Yasser Fakri Mustafa5, P. A. Krovopuskov6, Mustafa M. Kadhim7,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 1137-1151, 2022, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.019921

    Abstract The objective of the presented study is to perform a vibration analysis and investigate the stability of a viscoelastic-fluid conveying pipe with an intermediate support. The mathematical model is elaborated in the framework of the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory in combination with the Kelvin-Voight viscoelastic approach. The resulting differential equation of motion and the related boundary conditions and compatibility conditions in the mid-span support are solved analytically using a power series method. The results show that an intermediate support located at ξs = 0.1 and ξs = 0.5 increases the critical velocity up to 35% and 50.15%, respectively. Also, the non-dimensional… More >

    Corrected Statistical Energy Analysis Model in a Non-Reverberant Acoustic Space

    Al Munawir1, Azma Putra2,*, Iwan Prasetiyo3, Wan Mohd Farid Wan Mohamad2, Safarudin Herawan4

    Sound & Vibration, Vol.55, No.3, pp. 203-219, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sv.2021.015938

    Abstract Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) is a well-known method to analyze the flow of acoustic and vibration energy in a complex structure. This study investigates the application of the corrected SEA model in a non-reverberant acoustic space where the direct field component from the sound source dominates the total sound field rather than a diffuse field in a reverberant space which the classical SEA model assumption is based on. A corrected SEA model is proposed where the direct field component in the energy is removed and the power injected in the subsystem considers only the remaining power after the loss at… More >

    Sound & Vibration, Vol.55, No.2, pp. 131-140, 2021, DOI:10.32604/sv.2021.015293

    Abstract Vibration can be introduced in all mechanical fields in our life. Engineers try to avoid its negative effect leading in some cases to deformation in the machines. Many researches are dedicated to study the identification of damping especially in multi degree of freedom systems with particular attention to the source of energy dissipation. They focus on developing new tools or methods which may be used in real problems to obtain accurate results about the amount (or value) and the location of energy dissipation in the structure. The aim of this paper is to present an original procedure aims to experimentally… More >

    Sami Allagui1,2,*, Abderrahim El Mahi1, Jean-Luc Rebiere1, Moez Beyaoui2, Anas Bouguecha2, Mohamed Haddar2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.4, pp. 695-721, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.013586

    Abstract This manuscript deals with the effects of recycling on the static and dynamic properties of flax fibers reinforced thermoplastic composites. The corresponding thermoplastic used in this work is Elium resin. It’s the first liquid thermoplastic resin that allows the production of recycled composite parts with promising mechanical behavior. It appeared on the resin market in 2014. But until now, no studies were available concerning how it can be recycled and reused. For this study, a thermocompression recycling process was investigated and applied to Elium resin. Flax fiber-reinforced Elium composites were produced using a resin infusion process and were subjected to… More >

    Dynamic Elastic Modulus and Damping Ratio of Lignin-Modified Loess

    Qian Wang1,#,*, Zhaozhao Liu1,2,#,*, Xiumei Zhong1, Zhongnan Gao1, Fuqiang Liu2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.3, pp. 523-540, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.014114

    Abstract To effectively improve the poor engineering properties of loess and enhance its seismic performance, the industrial by-product lignin is used as a modified material. Based on lots of dynamic triaxial tests, the dynamic elastic modulus and damping ratio of lignin-modified loess were tested. The effects of lignin content on the dynamic elastic modulus and damping ratio of lignin-modified loess were analyzed. Combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), the microscopic mechanism of lignin to improve the dynamic properties of loess was studied. The results show that lignin can effectively modify the dynamic deformation of loess under dynamic… More >

    Khawla Essassi1,2,*, Jean-Luc Rebiere1, Abderrahim El Mahi1, Mohamed Amine Ben Souf2, Anas Bouguecha2, Mohamed Haddar2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.3, pp. 569-584, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.012253

    Abstract Meta-sandwich composites with three-dimensional (3D) printed architecture structure are characterized by their high ability to absorb energy. In this paper, static and fatigue 3-point bending tests are implemented on a 3D printed sandwich composites with a re-entrant honeycomb core. The skins, core and whole sandwich are manufactured using the same bio-based material which is polylactic acid with flax fiber reinforcement. Experimental tests are performed in order to evaluate the durability and the ability of this material to dissipate energy. First, static tests are conducted to study the bending behaviour of the sandwich beams, as well as to determine the failure… More >

    Abstract In this study, the methodology and results of ambient vibration-based investigations of the historical Tash Mosque in Kosovo and a 3-story historical building in Bulgaria are presented. The investigations include full-scale in situ testing of both structures due to ambient vibrations induced by micro-seismic, wind, traffic, and other human activities. To this aim, Ranger seismometers and Kinemetric products were used. Measurements were performed in both horizontal directions in several points along the structures’ height utilizing a high-speed data acquisition device.

    A. A. Mazlan1, M. T. H. Sultan1,2,3,*, S. N. A. Safri2, N. Saba2, A. U. M. Shah2, M. Jawaid2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.8, No.7, pp. 833-843, 2020, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2020.08724

    Abstract The present paper deals with the effect of loading different pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) length (short, mixed and long fibres) and their reinforcement for the fabrication of vinyl ester (VE) composites. Performance of PALF/VE composites was investigated through three-point bending flexural testing and viscoelastic (dynamic) mechanical properties through dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). DMA results revealed that the long PALF/VE composites displayed better mechanical, damping factor and dynamic properties as compared to the short and mixed PALF/VE composites. The flexural strength and modulus of long PALF/VE composites were 113.5 MPa and 14.3 GPa, respectively. The storage (E′) and loss (E″) moduli… More >
