The influence of different crosssection area within the assumed tolerance on the dynamic behaviour of mechanism’s connection rod is investigated. For vibration analysis of links the finite element method is used with Bernoulli-Euler beam elements. The calculation were conducted for nominal dimensions of the cross section of the crank and for the two cases for connecting rod: 1) for the maximal stiffness and 2) for the minimal stiffness obtained within the given tolerance. The results of analysis show that the changes in dynamic response for different cross-sectional area of mechanism links, within the assumed tolerance of machining, can be quite significant in the case of high-speed precise mechanisms and manipulators.","PeriodicalId":38508,"journal":{"name":"Vibrations in Physical Systems","volume":"31 1","pages":"2020207-1-2020207-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68248218","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 relatively new approach is used namely the stiffness matrix method. At the very beginning, the dispersion curves are determined for the traditional composite materials of cross-ply configuration, for which the layers are made of glass fiber/epoxy resin and carbon fiber/epoxy resin. The impact of the total number of layers on the dispersion curves is investigated. Next, the influence of the thickness of the layers, which are made of aluminum alloy, on the dispersion characteristic is studied. In the second case, it is assumed that the total thickness of the composite material wall for all cases is identical.","PeriodicalId":38508,"journal":{"name":"Vibrations in Physical Systems","volume":"31 1","pages":"2020202-1-2020202-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68248108","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 performed tests consisted in the simultaneous registration and analysis of vibration test signals using 4 alternative measuring systems. and then the determination of the frequency characteristics of vibration acceleration, total corrected (Wh characteristics) and uncorrected vibration acceleration values. The results of recorded image analyses of oscillating movement were compared with results of vibration acceleration measurements obtained using laser and piezoelectric transducers.

In the presented work, an innovative design of energy harvesting shock absorber has been presented that uses motion amplification for improving harvesting efficiency. Apart from improving electric power, the proposed solution is fail safe and can be easily incorporated in existing vehicles with only marginal change in suspension layout. Study includes detailed numerical analysis for vibration transmissibility to investigate comfort and safety.

The impact that the scale of the analysis of the curvature can have on the values of the curvature parameters for the deformed surfaces and the correlation with discharge energy is also studied. In this study the deformations of piezoelectric bimorph actuators are studied. In order to achieve quasi-static measurements, a dedicated charge amplifier was built to supply charge to the actuator. The deformations were then measured by Polytec® 3D laser scanning vibrometer PSV-400 by integration of captured motion. The obtained data was used to calculate curvature tensor field at multiple scales by applying the normal-based method. Principal, mean and Gaussian curvature was calculated at multiple scales and were correlated with applied charge.
