Optimal passive-damping design using a decentralized velocity-feedback H-infinity approach
2012
In this work, a new strategy to design passive energy dissipation systems for vibration control of large structures is presented. The method is based on the equivalence between passive damping systems and fully decentralized static velocity-feedback controllers. This equivalence allows to take advantage of recent developments in static output-feedback control design to formulate the passive-damping design as a single optimization problem with Linear Matrix Inequality constraints. To illustrate the application of the proposed methodology, a passive damping system is designed for the seismic protection of a five-story building with excellent results. Peer Reviewed
Simple model for the vibrations of embedded elastically cubic nanocrystals
2010
The purpose of this work is to calculate the vibrational modes of an elastically anisotropic sphere embedded in an isotropic matrix. This has important application to understanding the spectra of low-frequency Raman scattering from nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix. First some low frequency vibrational modes of a free cubically elastic sphere are found to be nearly independent of one combination of elastic constants. This is then exploited to obtain an isotropic approximation for these modes which enables to take into account the surrounding isotropic matrix. This method is then used to quantatively explain recent spectra of gold and copper nanocrystals in glasses.
Nonlinear free vibrations of composite structures via the X-Ritz method
2020
The analysis of large amplitude vibrations of thin-walled cracked structures build as plate assembly is considered in this study. The problem is addressed via a Ritz approach, called X-Ritz, based on the first order shear deformation theory and von K´arm´an’s geometric nonlinearity assumptions. The trial functions are expressed as series of regular orthogonal polynomial products supplemented with special functions able to represent the crack behaviour; boundary functions are used to guarantee the fulfillment of the kinematic boundary conditions. Results are presented, which illustrate the influence of cracks on the stiffening effect due to large amplitude vibrations.
Nonlinear free vibrations analysis of cracked composite stiffened plates via X-Ritz approach
2019
Thin and moderately thick composite multi-layered plates are widely employed in naval and aerospace structures. They can experience the presence of cracks, generated for example by corrosion, fatigue or accidental external causes, which aect their static and dynamic behaviour. As regard the dynamic characteristics of plates, many studies have focused on the linear vibration analysis of both isotropic and composite thin and thick plates, providing for a comprehensive knowledge of the plate dynamic behaviour. However, for an accurate appraisal of the plate dynamics, in some applications it is needed to investigate the nonlinear free vibration problem; a literature survey evidences that the la…
Acoustic vibrations of metal nanoparticles: high order radial mode detection
2004
The vibrational radial modes of silver nanospheres embedded in a glass matrix are investigated using a high sensitivity femtosecond pump-probe technique. The results yield evidence for coherent launching of the fundamental and higher order radial modes in agreement with a sphere dilation mediated excitation model. The results are consistent with low-frequency Raman scattering experiments.
Investigation of the vibrational dynamics of the HCN/CNH isomers through high order canonical perturbation theory
2000
International audience; Molecular vibrations of the molecule HCN/CNH are examined using a combination of a minimum energy path Hamiltonian and high order canonical perturbation theory , as suggested in a recent work [D. Sugny and M. Joyeux, J. Chem. Phys. 112, 31 (2000)]. In addition, the quantum analog of the classical CPT is presented and results obtained therefrom are compared to the classical ones. The MEP Hamiltonian is shown to provide an accurate representation of the original potential energy surface and a convenient starting point for the CPT. The CPT results are subsequently used to elucidate the molecular dynamics: It appears that the isomerization dynamics of HCN/CNH is very tri…

Effet d’une perturbation haute fréquence sur la réponse du système de FitzHugh-Nagumo soumis à une excitation basse fréquence subliminale : simulatio…
2015
National audience; Dans cette communication, nous menons conjointement une étude en simulation numérique ainsi qu’une étude expérimentale de la réponse du système de FitzHugh-Nagumo soumis à une excitation bi-chromatique. Cette excitation est constituée d’un signal basse fréquence perturbé par une composante haute fréquence additive. Selon l’amplitude B de la perturbation haute fréquence, la réponse du système peut être optimisée à la basse fréquence. Un choix approprié du rapport des fréquences d’excitations peut conduire à une meilleure optimisation de la réponse du système.
