Experimental and numerical studies on the vibration serviceability of fanshaped prestressed concrete floor by Liang Cao, Hongtuo Qi, Jiang Li

“…An extensive experimental and numerical research was undertaken to study the vibration serviceability of a long-span fanshaped prestressed concrete floor system to be used in the lounge of a major airport. Specifically heel-drop and jumping impact tests were conducted to obtain the natural frequencies and modal damping ratios of the floor system, followed by the discussion on the distribution of peak accelerations. …”

Investigation on Acoustic Properties of Thruster Chamber with Coaxial Injectors and Plenum Chamber by Dekun Gao, Jianxiu Qin, Huiqiang Zhang

“…The injector and plenum chamber have a little effect on the eigenfrequencies and damping rate of each acoustic mode. For multimode pressure oscillation, it is better for tuning frequency of the injector closing to the lower eigenfrequency acoustic mode, which will be effective for suppression of these multiacoustic modes simultaneously.…”
