A Numerical Study of Non-Symmetric Joints

Author(s):  
Edward Berger

A great deal of analytical, numerical, and experimental research has focused on characterizing symmetric lap-type joints, in which the joint connects dynamic systems with nominally the same descriptions. In this paper, we numerically examine dynamically non-symmetric jointed structures. Starting with the analytical treatments of Pratt and Williams (1981) as verification of our simulation model and approach, we then introduce structural stiffness asymmetries ranging from small perturbations to large differences. The results are presented in both the time and frequency domains, and the role of the dynamic asymmetry is critically examined. The results of this numerical study suggest that both the relative displacement profile and the stick-slip behavior at the joint are sensitive to the dynamics of the two substructures, with frequency tuning of the substructures being an important indicator of joint performance.

This chapter reviews the role of theory and dynamic systems theory for understanding common interaction techniques including: targetting, trajectory generation, panning, scrolling and zooming. It explains how can be seen to be at the foundations of Human–Computer Interaction and might be essential for making progress in novel forms of interface. It reinterprets Fitts’ classical work with theoretic tools. It also highlights the limitations of theory for design of human–computer loops.

As one of the most common artifact categories found on Spanish colonial sites, the wheel-made, tin-glazed pottery known as majolica is an important chronological and social indicator for archaeologists. Initially imported from Europe, several manufacturing centers for majolica were set up in the New World by the late sixteenth century. The study of colonial majolica in the Viceroyalty of Peru, which encompassed much of South America, has received less attention than ceramic production and trade in the colonial Caribbean and Mesoamerica. Prior to 1650 the Viceroyalty of Peru was supplied with majolica largely produced in the city of Panama Vieja, on the Pacific. Panama Vieja majolica has been recovered from throughout the Andes, as far south as Argentina. Majolica made in Panama Vieja provides an important chronological indicator of early colonial archaeological contexts in the region. The reproduction of Iberian-style majolica for use on elite tables was symbolically important to the imposition of Spanish rule, and thus Panamanian majolicas also provide an important indicator of elite status on Andean colonial sites.

AbstractWe study the role of small-scale perturbations in the onset of avalanches in a rotating drum in the stick-slip regime. By vibrating the system along the axis of rotation with an amplitude orders of magnitude smaller than the particles’ diameter, we found that the order parameter that properly describes the system is the kinetic energy. We also show that, for high enough frequencies, the onset of the avalanche is determined by the amplitude of the oscillation, contrary to previous studies that showed that either acceleration or velocity was the governing parameter. Finally, we present a theoretical model that explains the transition between the continuous and discrete avalanche regimes as a supercritical Hopf bifurcation.

In this work, a comparative study is performed to investigate the influence of time-varying normal forces on the friction properties and friction-induced stick-slip vibration by experimental and theoretical methods. In the experiments, constant and harmonic-varying normal forces are applied, respectively. The measured vibration signals under two loading forms are compared in both time and frequency domains. In addition, mathematical tools such as phase space reconstruction and Fourier spectra are used to reveal the science behind the complicated dynamic behaviour. It can be found that the friction system shows steady stick-slip vibration, and the main frequency does not vary with the magnitude of the constant normal force, but the size of limit cycle increases with the magnitude of the constant normal force. In contrast, the friction system harmonic normal force shows complicated behaviour, for example, higher-frequency larger-amplitude vibration occurs as the frequency of the normal force increases. The interesting findings offer a new way for controlling friction-induced stick-slip vibration in engineering applications.
