The self-vibration of the T-1 absolute gravimeter has a multi-directional full-band excitation. The resulted horizontal swing has the major impact, since the T-1 absolute gravimeter is simplified as a cantilever beam. A laser vibrometer was applied to directly measure the mechanical self-vibration. The frequency of self-vibration has a nonlinear effect on the measurement error of g, and the peak frequencies should be avoided. The vibration signal was analyzed in time and frequency domain by continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The close frequency profiles were measured in the scalogram and the beat vibrations were observed in time domain as the results of the horizontal swing. The 38 Hz self-vibration had the dominating effect on the measurement error of g for T-1 absolute gravimeter. After optimizing the structure of the tripod, the dominating frequency increased from 38 Hz to 42 Hz. A 11% increase of the vibration frequency can reduce the measurement error of g.","PeriodicalId":197121,"journal":{"name":"Volume 11: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129943824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microstructure is composed of a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire and a metallic spring combined together with bakelite blocks, loaded by a lumped mass made of lead. The adaptive bandgap mechanism is achieved via the large deformation of the metamaterial unit cell structure during the heating and cooling cycle. By applying different heating temperature on the SMA wire, morphing microstructural shapes can be achieved. Parametric design is conducted by adjusting the lead block mass. Finally, an optimized microstructural design rendering a large deformation is chosen. Finite element models (FEMs) are constructed to analyze the dynamic behavior of the metamaterial system. Effective mass density of the unit cell is calculated to investigate and demonstrate the bandgap tuning phenomenon. In the simulation, two extreme shapes are simulated adhering to the experimental observations. The effective negative mass density and the moving trends are obtained, representing the development and shifting of the bandgaps. The width of the bandgap region covers about 50 Hz from the room-temperature state to the heating state. This enables the vibration suppression within this wide frequency region. Subsequently, a metamaterial chain containing ten unit cells is modeled, aligned on an aluminum cantilever beam. An external normal force with a sweeping frequency is applied on the beam near the fixed end. Harmonic analysis is performed to further explore the frequency response of the mechanical system. The modeling results from modal analysis, effective mass density extraction, and harmonic analysis agree well with each other, demonstrating the prowess of the proposed shape memory metamaterial for ultra-wide frequency spectrum control.","PeriodicalId":197121,"journal":{"name":"Volume 11: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131636206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, the laminated design of the core is indispensable in order to reduce the Foucault currents losses. Thus, in addition to the electrical requirements, the development of an appropriate model of the core dynamic behavior taking into account its segmented structure is urgent, in order to avoid resonances at any of the excitation frequencies. In the current proceeding, the influence of the core equivalent dynamic mechanical properties on a power transformer radiated noise was studied by performing a numerical parametric analysis.

A coil to generate the magnetic field was also used as a movable mass to decrease the total weight and to create a constant closed loop of the magnetic force. The hammer impact test results show that the present absorber could change its natural frequency with minimal electric power and had a constant damping ratio. Experimental results of vibration absorbing of an acrylic flat plate show that the proposed absorber could change the natural frequency of the movable mass and reduce the vibration over a wide band by constantly applying the optimum current to the coil in the device with a small power consumption (less than 10 W). Therefore, the proposed absorber works effectively.

These modalities have been very effective at characterizing the geological media in terms of its constitutive mechanical properties such as density and compressibility, as well as electromagnetic properties such as electric conductivity, permeability, and permittivity. In order to enhance these imaging capabilities, a Thermoacoustic (TA) imaging system is used in this work. TA imaging relies on the coupling of mechanical and electromagnetic waves through a thermodynamic process, and it has the potential to reconstruct thermodynamic constitutive properties such as volumetric expansion coefficient and heat capacity. TA imaging has been mostly used in biological applications; this is due to the low signal-to-noise ratio that can be created with this physical mechanism. This work is aimed at addressing such limitation and exploring the use of TA imaging in geophysical applications. Conventionally, a short microwave pulse excitation is used to create the TA wave; so that the stress confinement condition is met while providing high resolution images. This approach requires the use of expensive high power amplifiers to create a detectable TA signal. This limitation can be addressed by using a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) excitation, which has been recently proposed as a suitable mechanism to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the TA signal generated for a given peak power constrain. This paper discusses and compares both pulsed and FMCW TA imaging in geological media. Preliminary experimental results show the efficacy of this approach to image a rock immersed in an oil bath; thus paving the way towards its future use for subsurface sensing and imaging of fluid flow and transport in porous media.","PeriodicalId":197121,"journal":{"name":"Volume 11: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125528616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
