提出并实验验证了一种通过减小屏栅边缘小孔孔径消除双模式离子推力器中束流离子对三栅极系统减速栅边缘小孔溅射刻蚀的方法.基于30 cm双模式离子推力器,在小推力高比冲和大推力高功率两种工作模式下实验对比研究了屏栅边缘小孔孔径对推力器放电损耗、束流平直度和减速栅边缘小孔刻蚀速率和刻蚀范围的影响.当束流半径95%外的屏栅小孔孔径缩小26%后, 30 cm双模式离子推力器在小推力高比冲模式和大推力高功率模式下放电损耗分别减小10%和21%;束流平直度分别下降3%和10%;减速栅边缘小孔存在离子溅射刻蚀的小孔排数由边缘5排减小到最边缘1排,刻蚀速率明显减小,并且当工作900 h后最边缘小孔刻蚀现象也消失.实验结果表明:减小屏栅边缘小孔孔径是一种解决双模式离子推力器小推力高比冲模式下束流离子对三栅极系统减速栅边缘小孔溅射刻蚀的有效方法,而且不会降低推力器效率,但是会造成束流均匀性变差.

Low frequency sound insulation using stiffness control with honeycomb panels

A new honeycomb core design has been used to increase the stiffness of the panel and applied to improve the noise transmission loss at frequencies between 100 and 200 Hz. A model is presented to predict the transmission loss of the honeycomb panels based on the structural modal parameters. A new test specimen with fiber reinforced plastic cores and face sheets had been used to investigate the effect of stiffness and damping on noise transmission loss. The measurements of noise transmission loss have been compared with data for common structural panels. The results show that the new core fabrication techniques using moulding to improve the noise transmission are effective. In comparison to a cement panel of the same mass, the honeycomb panels have higher TL at low frequencies between 100 and 200 Hz due to higher stiffness and damping. The honeycomb panels have more significant vibration responses above 500 Hz but these are limited by damping.

Transient analysis of nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli micro-beam with thermoelastic damping,via nonlinear normal modes

In this paper an Euler–Bernoulli model has been used for vibration analysis of micro-beams with large transverse deflection. Thermoelastic damping is considered to be the dominant damping mechanism and introduced as imaginary stiffness into the equation of motion by evaluating temperature profile as a function of lateral displacement. The obtained equation of motion is analyzed in the case of pure single mode motion by two methods; nonlinear normal mode theory and the Galerkin procedure. In contrast with the Galerkin procedure, nonlinear normal mode analysis introduces a nonconventional nonlinear damping term in modal oscillator which results in strong damping in case of large amplitude vibrations. Evaluated modal oscillators are solved using harmonic balance method and tackling damping terms introduced as an imaginary stiffness is discussed. It has been shown also that nonlinear modal analysis of micro-beam with thermoelastic damping predicts parameters such as inverse quality factor, and frequency shift, to have an extrema point at certain amplitude during transient response due to the mentioned nonlinear damping term; and the effect of system?s characteristics on this critical amplitude has also been discussed.     

Experimental Investigation and Semi-Active Control Design of A Magnetorheological Engine Mount

In this paper; the dynamic characteristics of a semi-active magnetorheological fluid (MRF) engine mount are studied. To do so, the performance of the MRF engine mount is experimentally examined in higher frequencies (50~170 Hz) and the various amplitudes (0.01 ~ 0.2 mm). In such an examination, an MRF engine mount along with its magnetically biased is fabricated and successfully measured. In addition, the natural frequencies of the system are obtained by standard hammer modal test. For modelling the behavior of the system, a mass-spring-damper model with tuned PID coefficients based on Pessen integral of absolute error method is used. The parameters of such a model including mass, damping ratio, and stiffness are identified with the help of experimental modal tests and the recursive least square method (RLS). It is shown that using PID controller leads to reducing the vibration transmissibility in the resonance frequency (=93.45 Hz) with respect to the typical passive engine mount by a factor of 58%. The average of the vibration transmissibility decreasing is also 43% within frequency bandwidth (50~170 Hz).     

Crack detection in single-crystalline silicon wafers using impact testing

This paper presents acoustic measurements obtained by mechanically exciting vibratory modes in single-crystalline silicon wafers with hairline periphery cracks of different type and location. The data presented shows a dependence of natural frequencies, peak amplitudes and damping levels of four audio vibration modes in the frequency range up to 1000 Hz on crack type and crack location. Data from defective wafers exhibit lower natural frequencies, higher damping levels, and lower peak amplitudes. The results suggest an impact test method may be useful for solar cell crack detection and quality control.     

Response of plates with unconstrained layer damping treatment to random acoustic excitation,part I: Damping and frequency evaluations

For theoretical evaluation of the response of a structure under random acoustic excitation a complete understanding is required of the various modes of vibration and the modal damping associated with each mode. In order to evaluate these parameters for plates with unconstrained layer damping treatment, some of the theoretical approaches applicable are used. Experimentally observed modal frequencies and associated loss factors are compared with those estimated by different theories for all edges simply supported and all edges clamped boundaries, after accounting for the damping at supports. The modes of vibration used in the theoretical analysis for these boundaries are compared with those observed in the experiments. These results are made use of in Part II for the evaluation of response under random acoustic excitation.     

A damping mechanics model and a beam finite element for the free-vibration of laminated composite strips under in-plane loading

A theoretical framework is presented for predicting the nonlinear damping and damped vibration of laminated composite strips due to large in-plane forces. Nonlinear Green-Lagrange axial strains are introduced in the governing equations of a viscoelastic composite and new nonlinear damping and stiffness matrices are formulated including initial stress effects. Building upon the nonlinear laminate mechanics, a damped beam finite element is developed. Finite element stiffness and damping matrices are synthesized and the static equilibrium is predicted using a Newton-Raphson solver. The corresponding linearized damped free-vibration response is predicted and modal frequencies and damping of the in-plane deflected strip are calculated. Numerical results quantify the nonlinear effect of in-plane loads on structural modal damping of various laminated composite strips. The modal loss-factors and natural frequencies of cross-ply Glass/Epoxy beams subject to in-plane loading are measured and correlated with numerical results.
