Abstract Maintaining the integrity and longevity of structures is essential in many industries, such as aerospace, nuclear, and petroleum. To achieve the cost-effectiveness of large-scale systems in petroleum drilling, a strong emphasis on structural durability and monitoring is required. This study focuses on the mechanical vibrations that occur in rotary drilling systems, which have a substantial impact on the structural integrity of drilling equipment. The study specifically investigates axial, torsional, and lateral vibrations, which might lead to negative consequences such as bit-bounce, chaotic whirling, and high-frequency stick-slip. These events not only hinder the efficiency of drilling… More >

Abstract External vibrations are known to be one of the promising ways to control the behavior of multiphase systems. The computational modeling of the behavior of a gas bubble in a viscous liquid in a horizontal cylinder of square cross-section, which undergoes linearly polarized translational oscillations in weightless conditions, has been carried out. Under vibrations, the bubble moves towards the wall of the vessel with acceleration determined by the amplitudes and frequency of vibrations. Near the wall, at a distance of the order of the thickness of the viscous Stokes boundary layer, the effects of viscosity More >

Abstract The regime of horizontal subcooled film boiling is characterized by the formation of a thin layer of vapor covering the surface of a flat horizontal heater. Based on the equations of motion of a viscous incompressible fluid and the equation of heat transfer, the stability of such a vapor film is investigated. The influence of the modulation of the gravity field caused by vertical vibrations of the heater of finite frequency, as well as a constant electric field applied normal to the surface of the heater, is taken into account. It is shown that in… More >

Abstract With the improvement of aircraft design requirements, the development of airborne equipment towards lightweight, miniaturization and weight reduction has brought great challenges to the structural design of airborne equipment. Usually, airborne equipment needs to be connected to the fuselage through supporting brackets. In the process of airplane flight, due to the influence of vibration and other complex load conditions, the mounting bracket of airborne equipment is prone to damage caused by the unreasonable structural design of airborne equipment. Some sensitive airborne electronic equipment has special requirements for the dynamic characteristics of the bracket. Therefore, the… More >

Abstract The possibility of determining the integrity of a real structure subjected to non-invasive and non-destructive monitoring, such as that carried out by a series of accelerometers placed on the structure, is certainly a goal of extreme and current interest. In the present work, the results obtained from the processing of experimental data of a real structure are shown. The analyzed structure is a lattice structure approximately 9 m high, monitored with 18 uniaxial accelerometers positioned in pairs on 9 different levels. The data used refer to continuous monitoring that lasted for a total of 1… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to obtain the explicit expression of the structural matrix in the traditional train-bridge coupling vibration analysis, a combined simulation system of train-bridge coupling system (TBCS) under earthquake (MAETB) is developed based on the cooperative work of MATLAB and ANSYS. The simulation system is used to analyze the dynamic parameters of the TBCS of a prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge benchmark model of a heavy-haul railway. The influence of different driving speeds, seismic wave intensities, and traveling wave effects on the dynamic response of the TBCS under More >

Abstract A dynamic pitch strategy is usually adopted to improve the aerodynamic performance of the blade of a wind turbine. The dynamic pitch motion will affect the linear vibration characteristics of the blade. However, these influences have not been studied in previous research. In this paper, the influences of the rigid pitch motion on the linear vibration characteristics of a wind turbine blade are studied. The blade is described as a rotating cantilever beam with an inherent coupled rigid-flexible vibration, where the rigid pitch motion introduces a parametrically excited vibration to the beam. Partial differential equations More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The dynamics of rotating hydrodynamic systems containing phase inclusions are interesting due to the related widespread occurrence in nature and technology. The influence of external force fields on rotating systems can be used to control the dynamics of inclusions of various types. Controlling inclusions is of current interest for space technologies. In low gravity, even a slight vibration effect can lead to the appearance of a force acting on phase inclusions near a solid boundary. When vibrations are applied to multiphase hydrodynamic systems, the oscillating body intensively interacts with the fluid and introduces changes in… More >

Abstract As an important component of load transfer, various fatigue damages occur in the track as the rail service life and train traffic increase gradually, such as rail corrugation, rail joint damage, uneven thermite welds, rail squats fastener defects, etc. Real-time recognition of track defects plays a vital role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of rail transit. In this paper, an intelligent and innovative method is proposed to detect the track defects by using axle-box vibration acceleration and deep learning network, and the coexistence of the above-mentioned typical track defects in the track system… More >

Abstract Although the aerodynamic loading of wind turbine blades under various conditions has been widely studied, the radial distribution of load along the blade under various yaw conditions and with blade flapping phenomena is poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of second-order flapwise vibration on the mean and fluctuation characteristics of the torque and axial thrust of wind turbines under yaw conditions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the CFD model, the blades are segmented radially to comprehensively analyze the distribution patterns of torque, axial load, and tangential load. The following results are… More >
