Experimental Study of Viscous Damper Vibration Reduction Technology of Gear Shafting by Huang Xiujin, He Lidong, Xia Xueran, Liu Ming

“…According to the complex character of gearbox vibration and noise,a kind of viscous damper for controlling vibration of gear shafting system is proposed.A gearbox bench with viscous damper is built to experimentally verify the damping characteristics of the viscous dampers mounted on gear shafting.The experimental results show that the viscous damper can effectively suppress each frequency component vibration caused by the gear meshing force and the vibration at various speeds,achieving vibration amplitude reduction up to 50% with a rather wide vibration reduction frequency band.And it can get good damping effect in both radial and axial vibration.By contrasting the damping effects of the viscous damper mounted on different position,the overall damping effect is a little better for the damper installed on the shaft inside the gearbox than it installed on extended end of the shaft outside the gearbox.…”

Full-duplex device-to-device communications:key technologies and prospects by Jiaxin DING, Daquan FENG, Gongbin QIAN, Nan ZHANG

“…Due to the physical proximity,D2D communications can bring proximity gain,reusing gain and hop gain,and thus can potentially increase system spectral-efficiency and energy-efficiency.Full-duplex D2D communications,which enable the transceiver to simultaneously transmit and receive in the same band,can further improve the system performance.Therefore,full-duplex D2D communications has being considered as one of the key techniques in the next generation cellular networks.The features of full-duplex D2D communications and the significance in 5G systems were briefly introduced as well as its applications.Then,the state-of-art research on full-duplex D2D resource allocation was presented and discussed.Finally,some research topics that deserve further study was outlined and concluded.…”
