... intermediate beam with a tip mass, called “dynamic magnifier”, and an “energy harvesting beam with a tip mass. The piezoelectric film is adhered to the harvesting beam to harvest the vibration energy. By properly designing the parameters, such as the length, width and thickness of the two beams and the weight...

...-elastic (piezoelectric/elastic) structural systems. Vibration control of constant-curvature electro/elastic beam and plate systems is studied. Time-history responses of free and controlled nonlinear electro/elastic beam and plate systems are presented and nonlinear effects discussed. Finite Element...

... Engineering Congress Washington, D.C., November 15 21, 2003 1 Copyright © 2003 by ASME developed. In this paper, a theoretical model, using classical modal analysis methodology, is presented. The flexible beam is modeled in a standard way and the hydraulic servo drive is modeled as a boundary condition. Only...

... 14 05 2008 The inelastic behavior of a pipe subjected to steady axial force and cyclic bending moment, such as shakedown, plastic fatigue, ratcheting and plastic collapse, is studied. By using two parameters c and d , which indicate the elasto-plastic interfaces of beam cross...
