The damping of sound waves in magnetized ferrofluids is investigated and shown to be considerably higher than in the nonmagnetized case. This fact may be interpreted as a field-enhanced, effective compressional viscosity-in analogy to the ubiquitous field-enhanced shear viscosity that is known to be the reason for many unusual behaviors of ferrofluids under shear.

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Cracow University of Technology, 31-155 Cracow, Poland.
This study investigates the dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics of three polyurethane materials-PM, PS, and PST-using a comprehensive vibroacoustic testing approach. The aim is to examine material parameters such as dynamic stiffness, Young's modulus, critical damping factor, and the influence of sample irregularities on the accuracy of measurements. The study employs both experimental testing, in which cuboidal and cylindrical polyurethane samples were subjected to sinusoidal excitation, and finite element modeling (FEM) to simulate the test conditions in sample without irregularities.

In our ears, outer-hair-cell bundles (OHBs) convert sound-induced forces into receptor currents that drive cochlear amplification, the process responsible for the micropascal-scale threshold and million-fold dynamic range of hearing. OHBs rely on gating springs to open mechanoelectrical-transduction (MET) ion channels, through which the receptor current flows. OHBs have larger gating-spring stiffnesses than other types of hair bundles, but we have a poor understanding of how gating-spring stiffness contributes to OHB mechanics and receptor-current regulation.

Eco-friendly natural fiber composites, such as basalt fiber composites, are gaining traction in material science but remain vulnerable to environmental degradation. This study investigates the mechanical and vibrational properties of quasi-isotropic basalt fiber composites subjected to aging in two different environments: ambient (30 ºC) and subzero (-10 ºC), both in distilled water until moisture saturation. Aged specimens absorbed 8.

This paper introduces a new sensing approach utilizing a solid-solid phononic crystal (PnC) channel drop filter structure for the detection of varying molar fractions of Ethyl lactate within a mixture of Ethyl lactate and 2-butoxy ethanol. The sensor features a two-dimensional PnC constructed from poly methyl methacrylate as the background material, incorporating a regular arrangement of circular Tungsten columns. The design integrates a bus waveguide linked to two interconnected ring resonators, which are coupled to a drop waveguide.
