In this paper, an extended dynamic model of peripheral milling process including process damping, structural and cutting force nonlinearities is presented. Cutting forces are described through a third-order polynomial function of chip thickness while a cubic nonlinear function is considered for the structural stiffness. Under stable and regenerative chatter conditions and using Fourier series components, closed form expressions for the nonlinear cutting forces are derived. Parameters of the proposed model are identified through a set of experiments. For this purpose, modal experiments and measurement of cutting forces (at various feed rates) are performed to determine the modal parameters... 

This paper presents a biomechanical model with seven degrees of freedom as a seated human exposed to vertical vibration. Experimental data is used to find the stiffness and damping parameters of the model. The data includes values of seat to head transmissibility, driving point mechanical impedance and apparent mass. The multi-objective function is used to obtain theoretical results similar to three different experimental cases. The unknown coefficients are calculated by a genetic algorithm. Improved results, in comparison with previous models, are achieved from the presented model. Next, this modified model is assembled on a quarter car and parameters of the cushion and the suspension... 

One of the most important problems facing structural engineers is the analysis of dynamic behavior of bridges subjected to moving vehicles. In addition, viscoelastic supports under bridges change their dynamic behavior under passing traffic loads. This paper presents how to model a bridge with viscoelastic supports and how the maximum dynamic stress of bridges changes during the passing of moving vehicles. Furthermore, this paper presents an algorithm to solve the governing equation of the bridge with viscoelastic supports as well as the equation of motion of a real European truck with different speeds, simultaneously. Using viscoelastic supports with appropriate characteristics can make a... 

In this paper, the stability of pipes conveying fluid with viscoelastic fractional foundation is investigated. The pipe is fixed at the beginning while the pipe end is constrained with two lateral and rotational springs. The fluid flow effect is modeled as a lateral distributed force, containing the fluid inertia, Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The pipe is modeled using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and a fractional Kelvin-Voigt model is employed to describe the viscoelastic foundation. The equation of motion is derived using the extended Hamilton's principle. Presenting the derived equation in Laplace domain and applying the Galerkin method, a set of algebraic equations is extracted....
