By combining a tapered piston with a conformal variable-diameter cylinder, stroke-dependent, dual-mode damping characteristics are achieved without the need for complex control valves. A theoretical model incorporating the stroke-dependent gap flow dynamics is established, and a finite element analysis of the internal magnetic field distribution is conducted. Numerical results indicate that the magnetic flux lines are concentrated by the converging geometry of the buffer zone, increasing the magnetic flux density by 17.4% without additional power input. Experimental validations utilizing a servo-hydraulic testing system are performed, and the experimental results show good agreement with the theoretical predictions. Specifically, the damping force remains stable within the damping zone. As the piston enters the buffer zone, the damping force increases significantly with displacement. Through the passive self-reinforcement mechanism, the peak damping force is effectively elevated from 2240 N in the damping zone to a maximum of 4296 N. These findings demonstrate the reliability of the proposed VGMRD in preventing mechanical “bottoming-out” while maintaining routine ride comfort.</p>","PeriodicalId":60486,"journal":{"name":"国际机械系统动力学学报(英文)","volume":"6 3","pages":"460-476"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msd2.70077","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149125793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PDWs, which rely on gravity for stable locomotion without active control, exhibit a rich spectrum of behaviors, from periodic to chaotic motion. The study examines the effects of key system parameters, such as the hip mass ratio, the leg center of mass (CoM) location, spring stiffness, and damper coefficient, on the stability and gait performance of the walker. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, the paper identifies bifurcation points where periodic orbits transition into chaotic dynamics, shedding light on the critical conditions for stable walking. The results reveal that increased hip mass, spring stiffness, and leg CoM location ratio contribute to faster walking speeds. All of these physical parameters show a non-monotonic effect on stability. Stability first improves and then deteriorates as the parameter values increase. In contrast, the influence of damping on passive walking is relatively minor, and increasing damping does not significantly improve stability, even sometimes leading to the inability to find a stable solution. Moreover, the results also suggest that the addition of the spring can mitigate the bifurcations of the system. This research provides a deeper understanding of the stability transitions in PDWs, with implications for the design of more efficient and robust legged robots.</p>","PeriodicalId":60486,"journal":{"name":"国际机械系统动力学学报(英文)","volume":"6 2","pages":"357-369"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msd2.70057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148322366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a new method that combines a systematic experimental investigation of four distinct hole geometries (circular, square, compact rectangular, and long rectangular) with varying hole counts, all designed to maintain equal material removal, and the application of Gaussian Process Regression to model and predict natural frequencies from experimental modal analysis. Experimental modal testing was conducted on 36 beam specimens to evaluate changes in vibrational properties. The results demonstrate a clear relationship between hole geometry and the attenuation of natural frequencies: circular holes resulted in minimal reductions due to uniform stress distribution, whereas square and rectangular holes caused greater stiffness loss, with the most substantial attenuation observed in beams with long rectangular holes where the first natural frequency decreased by up to 44%. The proposed Gaussian Process Regression model achieved high predictive accuracy on the test set, with coefficients of determination (<i>R</i>²) of approximately 0.98 for the first natural frequency, 0.93 for the second, and 0.92 for the third. Sensitivity analysis identified the number of holes as the most influential parameter, contributing 67.8% to variations in the first natural frequency.

One promising solution for the power supply of small sensors relies on piezoelectric energy harvesters excited by vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) generated by wind. In these devices, the harvester typically features a cylindrical bluff body that generates the vortex shedding and also tunes the natural frequency of the cantilever according to the frequency of the excitation. However, in many practical applications, the harvester is not mounted on a perfectly rigid base. The compliance of the base can significantly influence the behavior of the system. Furthermore, harvesters are often installed on moving structures or machines, where base vibrations introduce additional complexities. Therefore, understanding the impact of both harmonic and random base excitations on VIV is essential for harvester design. This paper investigates these phenomena in a comprehensive way. It presents a multiphysics mathematical model of a piezoelectric energy harvester mounted on a moving base, numerical results, and a wide series of experimental tests. The model reliably predicts the harvester behavior under various conditions and enables to extend the experimental investigation. Experimental and numerical results show that base vibrations and VIV can generate voltage in a synergistic way. Nevertheless, for large base vibrations, nonlinear effects take place that affect the maximum amplitude of the generated voltage in the lock-in region.

Five taper configurations ranging from a vertical transom base design to a fully tapered stern (1.00<i>B</i>) were evaluated over a wide Froude number range (<i>Fr</i> = .3 to 1.0). The simulations were performed using a RANS-based solver coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method to accurately capture free-surface effects. Turbulence was modeled using the SST <i>k–ω</i> approach to account for boundary layer evolution and wake separation. The analysis focused on resistance components, free-surface wave elevation mapping, transom pressure distribution, and wake streamline to assess hydrodynamic performance.

Wave elevation analysis revealed a marked reduction in stern hollows and improved surface coherence with longer tapers.
