In this approach, the designer estimates the slug force by selecting the most conservative combination of both variables, density and velocity of the slug, which is multiplied by the internal sectional area of the pipe, where the slug load is expected to occur. The resulting slug force is then typically multiplied by 1.5 to 2.0 in order to take into account the dynamic load factor.\u0000 The resulting slug forces are applied at all the affected changes of directions as a constant force in the piping flexibility analysis. While this approach is routinely followed as it is typically conservative from the piping flexibility static load cases perspective, it does not simulate the real dynamic conditions of the piping system, as it does not consider the influence of the slug forces occurring as a function of time, wherein reality, not all the slug forces are occurring at once at any given time, but occurring sequentially as the fluid travels through the length of the pipe, impacting the elbows in a progressive order, which directly dependents on the velocity of the fluid and the estimated length of the slug.\u0000 Therefore, this approach may not be reliable to evaluate existing systems with high vibration due to the high level of confidence required before proceeding to perform field modifications.\u0000 This paper describe over a real case example, an alternative methodology which allowed to determine the dynamic interaction of the slugging forces by utilizing the Time-History assisted by Response-Spectrum, both available within common piping flexibility analysis software.\u0000 The methodology allowed to resolve the piping vibration problem on subject by re-designing the associated spring and supports, without reducing the gas treatment plant production rates nor shutting down the facility.\u0000 The original design and modification of NPS 30 piping inlet to a Rich Amine Column is discussed along with results of both flexibility analysis and field vibration measurements before and after the modification.","PeriodicalId":23648,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84970793","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}

Different prototypes including cantilever beam, cylinder as oscillating body, and cylinder as interference body were used and tested to investigate the effects of interference bluff body’s properties such as the size and distance from fix oscillating body on the performance of energy harvesting system. To compare the frequency of oscillating beam and its natural frequency, a numerical simulation based on Finite Element Method was performed to obtain the natural frequency of cantilever beam. It was found that the energy harvester can be greatly improved by placing a fixed bluff body as interference bluff body in upstream of the oscillating bluff body. Through experimental tests, this study reveals that both diameter of interference cylinder and the distance between oscillating and interference cylinder play a key role in the energy harvester’s performance. Moreover, two different modes of oscillation were observed, depending on diameter of interference cylinder and its distance from bluff body. For all cases, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis was used to monitor the frequency of oscillating cylinder and these values were compared with the natural frequencies obtained by Finite Element Method’s analysis. The results showed that the shorter beams oscillate with a frequency of about 5 Hz, close to the natural frequency of 6Hz, while the longer beams oscillate with a frequency of about 2.2 Hz, close to the natural frequency of 2.17Hz.","PeriodicalId":23648,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90655339","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}

It was found that the closer the delamination occurred to the d15 PZT actuator the greater the change in signal increasing the probability to be identified using antisymmetric A0 wave mode. The analysis suggests that d15 PZT actuators should be placed in regions where delamination is likely to occur in laminated structures. Also, the propagation path of delamination was successfully predicted using a set of sensor signals processed using damage index methods including Pearson correlation coefficient and root mean square deviation.

This study focuses on the integration of sonication with DCMD to mitigate these problems by enhancing mass flux and reducing temperature polarization. A computational fluid dynamic model has been developed for the evaluation of temperature polarization through sonication enhanced DCMD. The computational domain consists of two channels, i.e., feed and permeate. It has a length of 20 mm, with a height of 1 mm for each channel, and a membrane thickness of 130 μm. Laminar flow at a low Reynolds number is considered (Re □ 10), with feed and permeate flowing in a counter-flow arrangement at the same inlet velocity but different temperatures. The employed numerical model is unsteady non-isothermal governed by Navier–Stokes equations which are conjugated thermally with the polymeric membrane. The model is subjected to different sonication frequencies and amplitudes. It employs dynamic mesh in conjunction with temporal sound application with a very small-time step to solve the governing equations associated with the sonication effect. A sensitivity study based on the effect of different parameters on the performance of the direct contact membrane distillation is conducted. The parameters studied include the effect of sonication wave (amplitude and frequency), feed flow rate and feed temperature on temperature polarization coefficient (TPC) and mass flux. Results show that sonication definitely can ameliorate the DCMD performance seen as a gain in both TPC and mass flux.","PeriodicalId":23648,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87297141","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 measured response of the structure using the 2D scan scheme of the tracking CSLDV system is considered as the response of the whole surface of the structure subject to random excitation. The measured response can be processed by an operational modal analysis (OMA) method called the improved demodulation method based on a rigorous model of a rotating plate to obtain modal parameters of the rotating structure, such as damped natural frequencies and undamped full-field mode shapes. Damped natural frequencies of the rotating structure are estimated from the fast Fourier transform of the measured response. Undamped full-field mode shapes are estimated by multiplying the measured response using sinusoids whose frequencies are estimated damped natural frequencies. Experimental investigation of the 2D scan scheme of the tracking CSLDV system and OMA method is conducted, and damped natural frequencies and undamped full-field mode shapes of a rotating fan blade with different constant speeds are estimated.

In most cases, explosives are often used for the disintegration of rocks in opencast mine. One of the major challenges often experienced in mining industries is the case of ineffective use of explosive energy while performing such opencast operation, this could lead to disproportionate ground vibration, often measured by peak particle velocity (PPV). To reduce such ground vibration and environmental impediments, it is important to adopt creative models for the effective prediction of PPV. Considering the inevitable impact on rock mass, neighbouring structures and sometimes on human beings, an accurate prediction of ground vibrations and the evaluation of the aftereffects must be carried out prior to the actual blasting event. This research is an exposition of the prediction performance of a blast-induced PPV using a creative model -Fuzzy Mamdani Model (FMM) and a hybrid algorithm -Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), in mining operation. These models are employed to predict the blast-induced PPV, which is a measurement of the movement or vibration of a single earth particle as the shock waves from a particular location or blasting event moves through the system. Experimental dataset used in this research consists of three (3) input variables (change weight per delay, distance and scaled distance) and forty-four (44) record samples; the peak particle velocity represents the experimental result. The dataset is fed into MATLAB 2020 platform as input parameters. Results obtained using the creative and hybrid algorithms were compared based on root mean squared error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient between the experimental and predicted values of the PPV. The regression values obtained are 0.8487 and 0.97729 for the Fuzzy Mamdani model and ANFIS model respectively. From the result obtained, the best vibration prediction was achieved using the ANFIS model. It can be concluded that the ANFIS model gave a better prediction in terms of speed of computation and prediction accuracy. It is recommended that other hybrid algorithms and metaheuristic techniques be introduced and compared with the existing solution models for effective prediction of PPV in mining operations.","PeriodicalId":23648,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Acoustics, Vibration, and Phononics","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84070643","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}

Initial studies concerning topological wave propagation in elastic metamaterials focused on localizing waves in 1D or 2D mechanical structures. More recent investigations involving topological metamaterials have uncovered methodologies to achieve unprecedented control of elastic waves in 3D structures. However, a 3D topological metamaterial that can be tuned online to expand functionalities and respond to external conditions has yet to be developed. To advance the state of the art, this research proposes a tunable 3D elastic metamaterial that enables the reconfiguration of a topological waveguide through the switching of metastable states. Through careful design of internal bistable elements in the metastable unit cell, a switching methodology is developed to obtain topologically distinct lattices and a full topological bandgap. Analysis of the dispersion relation for a supercell reveals the presence of a topological surface state at the interface of topologically distinct lattices. Full-scale finite element simulations illustrate topological wave propagation in a 3D structure with a path that can be tailored on-demand.
