Dynamic Behavior of the Bumpy Road Shaking Table System
Vibration tests were performed on the “bumpy road shaking table” system at the Cambridge University Geotechnical Centrifuge to investigate its dynamic behavior under operating conditions. In these tests, steel plates of known weights were fastened onto the base of the model container. The container was then subjected to “earthquake motions” simulated by the shaking table system and the ...

Changes in subjective ratings of impulsive steering wheel vibration due to changes in noise level: a cross-modal interaction
Cross-modal effects occur when subjective opinions of stimuli from one sense (e.g., tactile at steering wheel) are influenced by simultaneous stimuli in another sense (auditory). A steering wheel rig was used to provide specified vibration stimuli to participants' hands, and a recording of vehicle sound was played in accordance with the vibrations. Participants were subjected to test conditions ...

Vibration isolation for engine mount systems using an active hybrid robust controller
In this paper, a hybrid robust controller is proposed for reducing vibration on single input/single output (SISO) and multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) engine mount systems. The controller is designed to achieve robust stability and fast convergence by using a combination of the filtered-x least mean squares (FXLMS) and H∞ robust control methods. Plant response is identified by a ...

Investigation on axial vibration of high-speed vehicle engine crankshaft based on Rayleigh differential method
A new mathematical model of axial vibration was constructed by simplifying the crankshaft to a continuous stepped shaft model and formulating kinetic formulae of shafts and masses. Applying a vector matrix, a single order or a whole system vibration can be analysed. Using a new testing device, vibrations at the free-end of the engine shaft were measured and compared with the calculation result. ...
