Contrary to some previously proposed models, where the thermal convection effect inside the droplet is often neglected, the continuously fed pastille-shaped model takes into account the effects of both thermal convection and conduction. Curves related to different heat exchange coefficients are presented for the frequency response of the vaporization rate. The case where the feeding process at the bottom of the pastille is assumed isothermal (isothermal bottom regime) is compared to the one where the feeding process at the bottom of the pastille is adiabatic (adiabatic bottom regime). The response factor curves for the pure conduction model of the spherical droplet and for the present model of the “equivalent pastille” are also compared. The temperature field perturbation is then examined. As well as for the evaporation mass flow rate perturbation, comparisons are made between the regime with an isothermal bottom and the one with an adiabatic bottom. We find that, in spite of some divergences observed between the various cases, the frequency response of a droplet submitted to acoustic oscillations presents also some common points. It is shown that the life time (or residence time), the thermal diffusion time, and the period of the harmonic perturbation do intervene strongly in the behaviour of the vaporizing pastille. The liquid propulsion is a possible application of this basic study conducted as part of a thesis.","PeriodicalId":49847,"journal":{"name":"Mecanique & Industries","volume":"39 1","pages":"301-313"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87533580","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}

In order to study the influence of nonlinearity due to the large deflection of blades, a simplified model has been developed. After adjusting the model parameters, this approach leads to a system of linearly-coupled, second-order nonlinear differential equations, in which nonlinearity appears via quadratic and cubic terms. Periodic solutions, are sought by applying HBM coupled with an arc length continuation method. In the free case, in addition to featuring similar and nonsimilar nonlinear modes, the unforced system is shown to contain localized nonlinear modes. In the forced case, several cases of excitation have been analyzed (low-engine-order excitation and detuned excitation) and we study the influence of the excitation level on the structure of dynamical response. For a sufficiently-detuned excitation, we show that several solutions can coexist, some of them being represented by closed curves in the frequency-amplitude domain.","PeriodicalId":49847,"journal":{"name":"Mecanique & Industries","volume":"83 1","pages":"453-463"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72642673","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}

Structures such as footbridges, which oscillate due to the crossing of a group of pedestrians, or stands within stadia or concert halls, which vibrate due to the rythmic movement of the audience are of particular interest. The objective of this study is twofold: modelling the movement of pedestrians with consideration of pedestrian-pedestrian, and pedestrian-obstacle interactions, and the incorporation of a pedestrian-structure coupling in the previous model. Fremond’s model, which allows us to simulate the movement of an assembly of particles and accounts for collisions among considered rigid particles, is presented and adapted to the crowd by giving a willingness to the circular particles, which allows each pedestrian to move according to a given target. To handle the crowd-structure interaction in the case of lateral oscillations of footbridges, the Kuramoto differential equation governing the time evolution of the lateral motion of each pedestrian is implemented in the previous model. Preliminary results obtained from numerical simulations are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":49847,"journal":{"name":"Mecanique & Industries","volume":"18 1","pages":"495-504"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82385158","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}

Garibaldi","doi":"10.1051/MECA/2010058","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1051/MECA/2010058","url":null,"abstract":"This paper approaches a novel technique to estimate cable tension simply based on its vibration response. The vibration response has been quite extensively adopted in the past due to its simplicity and, mainly, because the inverse approach allows the tension estimation with the cable in its original site. A first tentative approach consists in using a certain number of experimentally measured natural frequencies to be introduced in the theoretical vibration formula; this formula, however, involves also the cable length, the cable mass per unit length and its flexural rigidity. Unfortunately, some problems arise in its application to real structures, such as the case of suspended and cable-stayed bridges, because the exact cable length cannot be measured (it appears at the fourth exponent in the vibration formula); moreover section and weight can be estimated within a certain degree of accuracy, whilst the boundary conditions are often defined with difficulty. A novel extension of the method is here proposed, which takes advantage from a moving mass travelling on the cable. This is the case occurring when cables are verified with magnetic-based technology to detect rope faults and cross section reduction. In this way, the extracted natural frequencies are varying with time due to the moving load, and hence they have to be extracted adopting a time-varying approach. Although some approximation linked to the shape modification must be introduced, a simple iterative procedure can be settled, by considering the cable length as an unknown. An estimation of the equivalent length is given, and successively this value is used to obtain an estimation of the cable tension.","PeriodicalId":49847,"journal":{"name":"Mecanique & Industries","volume":"24 1","pages":"505-512"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84670734","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}

Air bearings work at very high rotation speeds and are known to have nonlinear dynamic characteristics depending at least on the excitation frequency. The paper presents two very similar test rigs, the testing procedure and the algorithm for identifying the rotordynamic coefficients. The test rigs consist of a rigid rotor guided by fixed bearings and driven by a spindle. The dynamic loads are applied by two orthogonally mounted shakers applying two linear independent excitations. Two air bearings are analysed in the present paper. The test procedure is first developed for a simple circular bearing with easily predictable dynamic characteristics. Its rotordynamic coefficients are identified by using a least square procedure based on rational functions. The coefficients are compared to theoretical results in order to underline the limits of the identification algorithm. The procedure is next applied to a first generation foil bearing. Rotordynamic coefficients are presented for different working conditions (static loads and rotation speeds) and are discussed comparing them to circular air bearings.","PeriodicalId":49847,"journal":{"name":"Mecanique & Industries","volume":"18 1","pages":"477-488"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82696206","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}

This purely analytical model captures all the nonlinear phenomena present in NEMS resonators electrostatically actuated including bistability, multistability which can lead to several physical limitations such as noise mixing, frequency stability deterioration as well as dynamic pull-in.

The chosen demonstrator is a pump in service in thermal central units, which is an engineered system with not well-known parameters, considered in its work environment. The blind modal characterisation of the separate pump components shows a 5%-12% variability on eigenfrequency values and a less than 15% frequency error in comparison with experimental values. The numerical-experimental MAC numbers reach 0.7 at the maximum, even after updating. An example of modal results on the pump assembly fixed is presented, which shows a larger discrepancy with measurement values, essentially due to the modelling of the interfaces and boundary condition, and to the possible simplification of the main components F.E. models to reduce their size. Though a significant frequency error, the first overall modes are correctly identified. If this tendency can be confirmed from all the participants' results, the conclusion to be drawn is that, if the predictive capability of F.E. models to represent the dynamical behaviour of sub-structures is satisfactory, the one relative to structures that are built-up of several components does not allow their confident use.
