This paper investigates a magnetic levitation characteristic used in a vibration based energy harvester, called repulsive magnetic scavenger (RMS). The RMS is capable of harvesting ocean wave energy with a unique repelling permanent magnet array, which provides a stronger and more uniform magnetic field, compared to its attracting magnetic counterparts. The levitating magnets are stacked together around a threaded rod so that the same pole is facing each other. Two fixed magnets placed with one at each end of the RMS provides a collocated harvesting and braking mechanism in the face of high amplitude vibrations. Magnets in the levitated magnet stack are separated by pole pieces which are made of metals to intensify the magnetic field strength. The effect of the thickness and the use of different materials with different permeability for pole pieces is also studied to obtain an optimal energy harvesting efficiency. Moreover, the procedure to find the restoring force applied to the levitating magnet stack is demonstrated. Then, the Duffing vibration equation of the harvester is solved and the frequency response function is calculated for various force amplitudes and electrical damping so as to investigate the effect of these parameters on the response of the system. Furthermore, the effect of the maximum displacement of the moving magnet stack on the natural frequency of the device is studied. And finally, Faraday's law is employed to estimate the output voltage and power of the system under the specified input excitation force. Experiments show that the output emf voltage of the manufactured prototype reaches up to 42 V for an excitation force with the frequency of 9 Hz and the maximum amplitude of 3.4 g.

Probabilistic prediction of coalescence flutter using measurements: Application to the flutter margin method

Sandip Chajjed, Mohammad Khalil, Dominique Poirel, Chris Pettit, Abhijit Sarkar

Summary: This paper reports the generalization of the Bayesian formulation of the flutter margin method, which improves the predictive performance by incorporating the joint prior of aeroelastic modal parameters. The improved algorithm reduces uncertainties in predicting flutter speed and can cut cost by reducing the number of flight tests.

Vibration and bifurcation analysis of rotor systems with air ring bearings including ring tilting

Pascal Zeise, Bernhard Schweizer

Summary: Air ring bearings are an improved version of classical air bearings, providing better damping behavior and allowing operation above the linear threshold speed of instability. However, there is a risk of dangerous vibrations in certain rotor systems, which can be addressed by considering ring tilting effects.

Simple adaptive wing-aileron flutter suppression system

Carmelo Rosario Vindigni, Giuseppe Mantegna, Calogero Orlando, Andrea Alaimo

Summary: In this study, a simple adaptive flutter suppression system is designed to increase the operative speed range of a wing-aileron aeroelastic plant. The system achieves almost strictly passivity by using a parallel feed-forward compensator implementation and the controller parameters are optimized using a population decline swarm optimization algorithm. Numerical simulations prove the effectiveness of the proposed simple adaptive flutter suppression architecture in different flight scenarios.

Three-dimensional analytical solution of free vibrations of a simply supported composite plate in contact with a fluid

Nicco Ulbricht, Alain Boldini, Peng Zhang, Maurizio Porfiri

Summary: The quantification of fluid-structure interactions in marine structures is crucial for their design and optimization. In this study, an analytical solution for the free vibration of a bidirectional composite in contact with a fluid is proposed. By imposing continuity conditions and boundary conditions, the coupled fluid-structure problem is solved and applied to sandwich structures in naval construction, offering insights into the effects of water on mode shapes and through-the-thickness profiles of displacement and stress.

An exact closed-form explicit solution of free transverse vibration for non-uniform multi-cracked beam

Shahram Hadian Jazi, Mostafa Hadian, Keivan Torabi

Summary: Non-uniformity and damage are the main focus in studying vibrations of beam elements. An exact closed-form explicit solution for the transverse displacement of a nonuniform multi-cracked beam is introduced using generalized functions and distributional derivative concepts. By introducing non-dimensional parameters, the motion equation and its closed-form solution are obtained based on four fundamental functions. The impact of crack count, location, intensity, and boundary conditions on natural frequency and mode shape is evaluated through numerical study.

Influence of blades' shape and cutters' arrangement of PDC drill bit on nonlinear vibration of deep drilling system

Pengfei Deng, Xing Tan, He Li

Summary: In this paper, the authors improve the surface morphology method and study the bit-rock interaction model between the rock and the PDC bit, taking into account the impact of blade shape and cutter arrangement. They establish a dynamic model for a deep drilling system equipped with an arbitrary shape PDC bit and propose a stability prediction method. The results show that the shape of the blades and arrangement of the cutters on the PDC bit significantly affect the nonlinear vibration of the drilling system.

Interaction of flutter and forced response in a low pressure turbine rotor with friction damping and mistuning effects

Salvador Rodriguez-Blanco, Javier Gonzalez-Monge, Carlos Martel

Summary: In modern LPT designs, the simultaneous presence of forced response and flutter in different operation regimes is unavoidable. Recent evidence suggests that the traditional linear superposition method may be overly conservative. This study examines the flutter and forced response interaction in a realistic low pressure turbine rotor and confirms that the actual response is much smaller than that predicted by linear superposition.
