The modelling of the flow-induced vibrations of periodic flat and axial-symmetric structures with a wave-based method

International audienceThe stochastic response of periodic flat and axial-symmetric structures, subjected to random and spatially-correlated loads, is here analysed through an approach based on the combination of a wave finite element and a transfer matrix method. Although giving a lower computational cost, the present approach keeps the same accuracy of classic finite element methods. When dealing with homogeneous structures, the accuracy is also extended to higher frequencies, without increasing the time of calculation. Depending on the complexity of the structure and the frequency range, the computational cost can be reduced more than two orders of magnitude. The presented methodology is validated both for simple and complex structural shapes, under deterministic and random loads

Investigations about periodic design for broadband increased sound transmission loss of sandwich panels using 3D-printed models

International audienceTwo types of sandwich panels are designed by using the periodic structure theory. A double-wall panel with mechanical links and a sandwich panel with rectangular core are studied. An oriented optimization of the elastic bending waves' propagation versus the acoustic wavenumbers is achieved by using shifted core walls and by keeping the mass and stiffness of the system constant. Standard and optimized configurations are 3D-printed and sound transmission measurements are carried out by using a facility with an uncoupled reverberant-anechoic configuration. The experimental evidences of enlarged bending band-gaps and deformation mechanisms are proved using a reverse approach based on the acoustic radiation of the panels

A WFE and Hybrid FE/WFE technique for the Forced Response of Stiffened Cylinders

International audienceThe present work shows many aspects concerning the use of a numerical wave-based methodology for the computation of the structural response of periodic structures, focusing on cylinders. Taking into account the periodicity of the system, the Bloch-Floquet theorem can be applied leading to an eigenvalue problem, whose solutions are the waves propagation constants and wavemodes of the periodic structure. Two different approaches are presented, instead, for computing the forced response of stiffened structures. The first one, dealing with a Wave Finite Element (WFE) methodology, proved to drastically reduce the problem size in terms of degrees of freedom, with respect to more mature techniques such as the classic FEM. The other approach presented enables the use of the previous technique even when the whole structure can not be considered as periodic. This is the case when two waveguides are connected through one or more joints and/or different waveguides are connected each other. Any approach presented can deal with deterministic excitations and responses in any point. The results show a good agreement with FEM full models. The drastic reduction of DoF (degrees of freedom) is evident, even more when the number of repetitive substructures is high and the substructures itself is modelled in order to get the lowest number of DoF at the boundaries

False memories formation is increased in individuals with insomnia

Previous studies suggest that sleep can influence false memories formation. Specifically, acute sleep loss has been shown to promote false memories production by impairing memory retrieval at subsequent testing. Surprisingly, the relationship between sleep and false memories has only been investigated in healthy subjects but not in individuals with insomnia, whose sleep is objectively impaired compared to healthy subjects. Indeed, this population shows several cognitive impairments involving prefrontal functioning that could affect source monitoring processes and contribute to false memories generation. Moreover, it has been previously reported that subjects with insomnia differentially process sleep-related versus neutral stimuli. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare false memories production between individuals with insomnia symptoms and good sleepers, and to evaluate the possible influence of stimulus category (neutral versus sleep-related) in the two groups. The results show that false memories are globally increased in participants reporting insomnia symptoms compared to good sleepers. A reduction in source monitoring ability was also observed in the former group, suggesting that an impairment of this executive function could be especially involved in false memories formation. Moreover, our data seem to confirm that false memories production in individuals with insomnia symptoms appears significantly modulated by stimulus category

DECOUPLING OF ENERGY TRANSMISSION BETWEEN SUBSYSTEMS OF A COMPLEX STRUCTURE

Experimental vibroacoustic measurements are very common for the study of emitted noise reduction and vibration energy isolation of structures. The most important case is when structures are subjected to an aerodynamic excitation as Turbulent Boundary Layer (TBL). In this paper, a preliminary study is performed on the energy transmission between subsystems of a structure subjected to TBL. A numerical test is developed on a three-plates-in-row system at high frequencies, through the application of Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). Parameters such as surface dimensions, thickness and damping loss factor are evaluated in different configurations for a first design of a testbench used for vibroacoustic measurements in a wind tunnel
