✦ Synopsis

An experimental investigation has been made of the damping of a plate vibrating at zero angle of attack to a nominally steady, high Reynolds number mean flow. The plate is perforated with a distribution of small circular apertures in which vorticity is produced by the unsteady loading of the plate. The kinetic energy of the vorticity is swept downstream by the flow. Damping occurs by the transfer of energy from the plate to the vortex field provided the Strouhal number vR/U, based on the radian frequency v of the vibration, the aperture radius R and the mean stream velocity U, lies between about 0•4 and 0•8. The peak attenuation is of the order of 5 dB relative to an identical unperforated plate. The results are interpreted in terms of recent calculations of the unsteady flow through an aperture in the presence of mean flow, and are expected to be relevant to the alleviation of fatigue failure of aerodynamic control surfaces such as jet nozzle flaps.

This paper is concerned with the semi-active control of structural vibrations via variable damping elements. Such an approach is insensitive to the spillover problem encountered in fully-active systems. An algorithm based on the sliding mode theory is developed and analysed. Comparing to the ad hoc

The measurement of the modal damping of a structure when subjected to a spatiallydistributed random force, such as a turbulent boundary layer, can be achieved by cross correlating the excitation and response. In most practical cases it is difficult to monitor the boundary layer pressure field on the
