Exploration of user perceptions of attractiveness and functionality
… after using a salt shaker. Eight different salt shakers were used, that varied in attractiveness and functionality. It turns out that people were more satisfied with the functionality of attractive, nonfunctional objects and unattractive, functional objects. They also bonded more with …

A numerical simulation of multiple-shaker model testing
… steady-state sinusoidal excitation by discrete shakers. An analytical method commonly known as Asher's Method was employed to optimize the shaker forceamplitude distributions for the purpose of isolating individual modes of vibration. The method involves the use of transfer functions of the …

Locating Structural Damage in Real Time Using Contrast Maximization
… equipped with active members or collocated shakers/sensors. The technique has a high success rate in damage detection. The technique is then tested numerically on a 36 degree of freedom truss equipped with 3 collocated shakers/sensors. To simulate experimental conditions, an extensive study …

Laboratory studies of the biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil: effect of droplet size and nutrient amendment
… EPA Baffled Flasks and placed them on rotatory shakers. We selected two speeds: high (250 rpm) and low (125 rpm). We also added excess nutrient for some of the flasks to evaluate the role of nutrient. The experiments reflected the following situations: HSHN, HSLN, LSHN, and C, where HS and LS …

Design of, and initial experiments with, a MIMO plate control testbed
… investigations which used accelerometers and shakers. This portion of the development process of the MIMO plate control testbed is concerned with actuator and sensor materials and architecture, modeling approaches and requirements, and initial control experiments. The piezoelectric sensors and …

Active control of acoustic radiation due to discontinuities on thin beams
… shaker. Control actuator( s) (in the form of shakers and piezoelectric actuators) were attached to the beam near the discontinuity. Error microphone(s) were positioned in the acoustic field which supplied an error signal to the digital controller. The digital controller employed was the …

Determination of the complex modulus of a solid propellant and random vibration analysis of the layered viscoelastic cylinders with finite element method
… rocket motors on electromagnetic or hydraulic shakers are routinely performed as an important experiment-oriented quality control strategy. Nevertheless, it is crucial to understand the dynamic structural behavior of these layered viscoelastic cylinders such as solid rocket motors under random …

Active control of sound radiation due to subsonic wave scattering from discontinuities on thin elastic beams
… either control forces, which approximate shakers, or pairs of control moments, which approximate piezoelectric actuators, near the discontinuity. Active control of sound radiation from a simply-supported beam is also examined. For a single frequency, the flexural response of the beam …
