ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE HYSTERETIC WIRE-ROPE ISOLATORS UNDER RANDOM EXCITATION
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2013, Vol 58, Issue 3
Abstract
Difficulties in characterizing of behavior of the wire-rope isolators under random excitation is the motivation for investigation of the modified Bouc-Wen model in the spirit of Baber and Noori, in order to include the experimentally observed stiffness and strength degradation, and pinching, respectively. The prediction of the behavior of such structures with hysteretic shear behavior under random excitation is investigated in this paper. The model is verified for the case of harmonic excitation with a range of exciting frequencies and amplitude levels, on the base of reported data in literature.

AN ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR THE STRUCTURE OF THE DETONATION WAVES. APPLICATION FOR HYPERSONIC PROPULSION
The gas flow field within an 1D normal detonation wave at variable specific heats and viscosity with temperature is considered. Such detonation waves appear in the so called air-breathing scramjet engines used at hyperso...
CALIBRATION AND OPERATION OF A POSITIONING ROBOT USED FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE VASCULAR INTERVENTIONAL SURGERY
This paper presents the calibration and operation modes of a positioning robot used for minimally invasive vascular interventional surgery. Firstly, the constitution of positioning robot, the calibration method using an...

Une proposition de loi non-linéaire régissant le comportement des matériaux élastiques isotropes consiste souvent à généraliser la loi linéaire de Hooke, valable en petites déformations, par l’adjonction de termes supplé...
ADVANCED STRATEGIES FOR INVESTIGATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Due to several pressing matters like the drastic reduction in pollutant emissions and fuel consumption, as well as the need to increase the thermal efficiency, the research in the field of internal combustion engines run...
TRENDS IN SURGICAL ROBOTICS
Surgical Robotics today is essentially about two families of devices, namely telemanipulators and simulators for mini-invasive (endoscopic) procedures. In both cases, the user-interface, i.e. the “joystick” to be manipul...
