Buckling restrained brace is an important structure for improving the seismic resistance of structures. Conducting research on new types of buckling restrained brace can improve the seismic performance and reliability of buckling resistant support. Four different types of buckling restrained braces specimens were designed and manufactured: cross-shaped square steel pipe members, cross-shaped round steel pipe members, cross-shaped carbon fiber members, and in-line carbon fiber members. By conducting quasi-static tests, the force displacement hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation, equivalent viscous damping coefficient, and energy dissipation ratio of four different types of buckling restrained brace were analyzed. The research results showed that all four buckling restrained brace specimens have good hysteresis performance. The load-bearing capacity and energy consumption performance of the three specimens of square steel pipe, round steel pipe and carbon fiber with the same core unit are the same, but the inline type is worse than the cross type. The core unit specimen with a width of 80 mm is about 60% higher in bearing capacity and energy consumption than a specimen with a width of 50 mm. The core unit of some specimens undergoes multi-wave buckling. For carbon fiber specimens, the CFRP is prone to breakage due to the lateral thrust of the restraining unit. Therefore, steel hoop or stirrup should be added to the end to improve the restraint effect when designing and manufacturing.
A nonsmooth optimization control (NOC) based on a sandwich model with hysteresis is proposed to control a micropositioning system (MPS) with a piezoelectric actuator (PEA). In this control scheme, the hysteresis phenomenon inherent in the PEA is described by a Duhem submodel embedded between two linear dynamic submodels that describe the behavior of the drive amplifier and the flexible hinge with load, respectively, thus constituting a sandwich model with hysteresis. Based on this model, a nonsmooth predictor for sandwich systems with hysteresis is constructed. To avoid the complicated online search for the optimal value of the generalized gradient at a nonsmooth point, the method of the so-called weighted estimation of generalized gradient is proposed. In order to compensate for the model error caused by model uncertainty, a model error compensator (MEC) is integrated into the online optimization control strategy. Afterwards, the stability of the control system is analyzed based on Lyapunov’s theory. Finally, the proposed NOC-MEC method is verified on an MPS with a PEA, and the corresponding experimental results are presented.

This article presents research conducted on various polymer models imitating biological structures. Tests were conducted using a newly developed research method described in [1]. The purpose of our research was to check if the measuring system [1] is able to distinguish multilayer samples. Test materials were two different polymer models which were subjected to pressure in the central point. Marked points on the external surface of the sample were followed during the measurement. The arrangement of points on the image allowed to reconstruct the 3D surface of the sample and to determine the displacement of the analysed points. Measurements were repeated 10 times to ensure the representativeness (credibility) of the conducted research. Statistical tests and artificial neural networks (ANN) were used to classify the examined samples. We used 5-fold cross-validation for training and validating the ANN. The entire set of 75 cases was divided into 5 equinumerous subsets. The obtained results suggest that the proposed method distinguished between the tested samples on the basis of results. Analysed materials react differently to the given mechanical factor.

The article reports the application of the mathematical theory of hysteresis to soil dynamics to characterise its behaviour under the action of cyclic loads. Based on appropriate laboratory experiments for a given soil, the achieved values were verified in simulations. The cycle shapes of stress–strain shear response for all strain levels and different combinations of static and cyclic shear stress loading were replicated. For proper characterisation in the case of repeated loads, the model incorporates the phenomenon of degradation of the structure and generation of excess pore pressure in considering its continuous variation throughout the loading process using an energy approach. The model is defined by parameters with physical interpretations that are evident from the tests.

Soft magnetic composites are often used in the design of electromagnetic converters and electrical machines. Their popularity is due to the ease of molding and the ability to adapt to specific applications. The paper presents magnetic properties of cores made of iron powder and different type of binder. Samples were prepared by compression in temperature dependent from binder / Fe powder mix. Measurement of magnetic parameters revealed an change in magnetic properties with using various types of binders. The presented measurement data show that it is possible to produce of SMC cores with good magnetic properties, using readily available components and in uncomplicated production processes. Cylindrical cores were made with different types of binders, respectively: powder of suspense polyvinyl chloride, powder of polytetrafluoroethylene, powder of polyethylene wax and transformer oil. For the prepared samples we have determined their basic magnetic properties. The analysis of collected measurement data showed a significant relationship between SMC sample forming parameters and their magnetic properties. In addition, the measurements showed a poor dependence of the magnetic properties in developed SMC samples on the excitation frequency. The method of producing a polymer-metal composite described in the article is the subject of patent application P.420850.
The study of nonlinear systems is an important research topic for scientists and researchers. Memristor, for a long time, it remained just as a theoretical element and rarely appeared in the literature because of having no simple and practical realization. In this paper, we reviewed the theoretical substantiation of the memristor and conducted a practical study of its nonlinear properties using the memristor company KNOWM of series BS-AF-W 16DIP. We also investigated the characteristics of the memristor via the LabView environment.

This paper addresses the problem of modeling the nonlinear coil used for ferroresonant circuit analysis. The effect of ferroresonance is described and a general modeling approach is presented. The hysteresis modeling problem is also shortly discussed, on the example of a ferromagnetic coil. A brief overview of available literature and contributors to this area are provided. A series RLC circuit supplied from an AC source is discussed. The application of the fractional derivative in the modeling of an iron core coil is presented and suggestions of model implementations are given. The computations performed are illustrated by means of waveform data obtained from computer simulations and compared with those obtained from measurements performed in a specially prepared laboratory setup.
This paper is focused on the open loop control of a piezoelectric tube actuator, hindered by a strong hysteresis. The actuator was distinguished with 22 % hysteresis, which hinders the positioning of piezoelectric actuator. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is application of an accurate analytical inversed model of the hysteresis in the control loop. In this paper generalized Prandtl-Ishlinskii model was used for both modeling and open loop control of the piezoelectric actuator. Achieved modeling error does not exceed max. 2.34 % of the whole range of tube deflection. Finally, the inverse hysteresis model was applied to the control line of the tube. For the same input signal (damped sine 0.2 Hz) as for the model estimation the positioning error was max. 4.6 % of the tube deflection. Additionally, for a verification reason three different complex harmonic functions were applied. For the verification functions, still a good positioning was obtained with positioning error of max. 4.56 %, 6.75 % and 5.6% of the tube deflection.
Measurements of dynamic surface tension were carried out in aqueous systems (water or 0.1 mM Triton X-100) comprising nanoparticles formed from chemically modified polyaldehyde dextran (PAD). The nanostructures, considered as potential drug carriers in aerosol therapy, were obtained from biocompatible polysaccharides by successive oxidation and reactive coiling in an aqueous solution. The dynamic surface tension of the samples was determined by the maximum bubble pressure (MBP) method and by the axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA). Experiments with harmonic area perturbations were also carried out in order to determine surface dilatational viscoelasticity. PAD showed a remarkable surface activity. Ward-Tordai equation was used to determine the equilibrium surface tension and diffusion coefficient of PAD nanoparticles (D = 2.3×10-6 m2/s). In a mixture with Triton X-100, PAD particles showed co-adsorption and synergic effect in surface tension reduction at short times (below 10 s). Tested nanoparticles had impact on surface rheology in a mixed system with nonionic surfactant, suggesting their possible interactions with the lung surfactant system after inhalation. This preliminary investigation sets the methodological approach for further research related to the influence of inhaled PAD nanoparticles on the lung surfactant and mass transfer processes in the respiratory system.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the steel plate shear walls with beam-only-connected web plates (SSW-BO). These systems feature an alternative to the traditional type of steel shear walls through separating the lateral load resisting system from the primary columns. A possible drawback of SSW-BO is its reduced shear capacity compared with fully-connected web plates. High yield strength (HYS) web plate may develop shear capacity of these systems. The seismic behavior of the SSW-BO systems are experimentally investigated under cyclic quasi-static loading and compared considering two material properties and two different circular opening ratios. Shear strength, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of HYS panels are higher than those of low yield strength (LYS) panels by as much as roughly 70%, 10% and 30%, respectively. The use of HYS web plates in SSW-BO systems appeared to be a promising solution to compensate the concerns regarding the low shear capacity and low energy dissipation resulting from separation steel plate from the columns. Moreover, the finite element software ABAQUS was used to investigate the behavior of SSW-BO systems by nonlinear analysis. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results showed excellent agreement.
Our work involved experimental study of the influence of actomyosin complexes and the main structural components of the myocardial tissue – connective tissue collagen framework and cardiomyocytes – on the characteristics of viscoelastic hysteresis at different frequencies. In this paper a new method was introduced for the analysis of the viscoelastic characteristics of the force hysteresis in the isolated myocardial preparation for the assessment of mechanical energy expenditure in the tension-compression cycle. We established that basic myocardial structures have an impact on the to the characteristics of the viscoelastic hysteresis in many ways. It was shown that in rat’s myocardium cardiomyocytes one main factor that define the stiffness and viscosity of the myocardium in the physiological range of deformations, while binding of calcium ions with EGTA and calcium removal of sarcoplasmic reticulum with caffeine reduces viscoelasticity by ~30% and collagen framework is responsible for about 10% of viscoelasticity. It was revealed that in the physiological range of the hysteresis frequencies (3 to 7 Hz) expenditure of mechanical energy per unit of time increases linearly with increasing frequency. We proposed the structural and functional model that adequately describes the characteristics of the viscoelastic hysteresis in myocardial preparation in the range of strains and frequencies being under study.
Bio-polyols based on rapeseed oil were used to produce flexible polyurethane foams (FPURF). The bio-polyols were obtained on a laboratory and industrial scale with the two-step method involving epoxidation of double bonds in rapeseed oil and opening of oxirane rings with different alcohols, such as isopropanol (iP) and diethylene glycol (DEG). The impact of bio-polyols production scale on selected physical and mechanical properties of FPURF was analyzed. The applied bio-polyols differed slightly by hydroxyl number, functionality, and water content. It was found that the scale of bio-polyol production has no significant impact on FPURF properties such as apparent density, hardness, hysteresis, support factor, and resilience. However, it was observed, that the addition of the bio-polyol to polyurethane (PUR) formulation had the impact on the FPURF properties as compared to the reference foams that were not modified with the bio-polyols. Moreover, a continuous method was used to prepare FPURF samples modified with different rapeseed oil-based polyols. For this purpose mixing-dosing device with conveyor line was used to synthesize the foams. It was found that the replacement of petrochemical polyols with the bio-polyols resulted in lower reactivity of the modified for- mulations and the amount of catalysts had to be increased. Furthermore, the foams hysteresis, support factor, and hardness were higher, especially for foams modified with the bio-polyol that contained DEG in its structure. Moreover, the fatigue tests were performed and the results showed a beneficial effect of the bio-based polyols on the functional properties, a.o. support factor of flexible foams.

Bio-poliole z oleju rzepakowego, wytworzone w skali laboratoryjnej i przemysłowej, zastosowano wsyntezie elastycznych pianek poliuretanowych (FPURF). Bio-poliole otrzymano metodą dwuetapową przez epoksydację wiązań podwójnych w oleju rzepakowym, a następnie przez otwarcie pierścieni oksiranowych za pomocą izopropanolu (iP) oraz glikolu dietylenowego (DEG). Zbadano wpływ rodzaju bio-poliolu (także tego samego rodzaju, ale otrzymanego w różnej skali) na wybrane właściwości fizyczne i mechaniczne FPURF. Zastosowane bio-poliole różniły się między sobą nieznacznie liczbą hydroksylową, funkcyjnością i zawartością wody. Stwierdzono, że skala produkcji polioli nie ma istotnego wpływu na właściwości FPURF, takie jak: gęstość pozorna, twardość, histereza, współczynnik komfortu i odbojność. Zaobserwowano jednak wpływ modyfikacji za pomocą różnych bio-polioli na właściwości FPURF w porównaniu z właściwościami niemodyfikowanej pianki referencyjnej. Pianki FPURF otrzymano również stosując metodę ciągłą z użyciem urządzenia dozująco-mieszającego wraz zlinią do przesuwu form z mieszaniną reakcyjną. Stwierdzono, że zastąpienie polioli petrochemicznych bio-poliolami powoduje zmniejszenie reaktywności kompozycji poliuretanowych, co spowodowało konieczność zwiększenia ilości katalizatorów. Ponadto, zaobserwowano wzrost histerezy, współczynnika komfortu i twardości, szczególnie w wypadku pianek zawierających bio-poliol z wbudowanym DEG. Wyniki badań zmęczeniowych wykazały korzystny wpływ bio-polioli na właściwości użytkowe, m.in. na współczynnik komfortu pianek elastycznych.
