A linear segment in which a number of pairs of intervals of equal length are identified as potential stems is the subject of a folding problem analogous to inference of RNA secondary structure. A quantity of free energy (or equivalently, energy per unit length) is associated with each stem, and the

β¦ Synopsis
A continuous analog model is considered in order to enhance the understanding of the vibratory response of grouped blades on a flexible disk. The analogy uses a series of transversely vibrating, continuous-string segments that are arranged in a rotationally periodic pattern, with coupling between the segments accomplished by discrete springs. Expressions are found for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of each cyclically symmetric segment, and the segment results are analytically extended to represent the entire structure. It is shown that the modes obtained from this model possess a harmonic character, and that orthogonality between the modes and harmonic excitation can be readily determined. Application of this model to a bladed-disk system with grouped blades shows that the results qualitatively conform to accepted knowledge of grouped-blade dynamics, while allowing a more coherent understanding of the phenomenon.

The operation of vehicles, e.g. trucks, has been demonstrated to be highly correlated with the occurrence of low back pain and herniated discs (Kelsey et al. [1]). Truck drivers and other vehicle operators typically report two to four times the number of low back pain problems and disabilities as th
The concept of a vibration suppression device mounted inside the rotor blade of a helicopter is evaluated. Two problems are considered. First, the possibility of reducing the vibration level by applying generic/non-specific dynamic loads is examined. An optimisation technique is used to provide the
