Article Abstract

We investigate the fluctuation dynamics of a probe around a deterministic motion induced by interactions with driven particles. The latter constitute the nonequilibrium medium in which the probe is immersed and is modeled as overdamped Langevin particle dynamics driven by nonconservative forces. The expansion that yields the friction and noise expressions for the reduced probe dynamics is based on linear response around a time-dependent nonequilibrium condition of the medium. The result contains an extension of the second fluctuation-dissipation relation between friction and noise for probe motion in a nonequilibrium fluid.

Study on the preparation and design of chenille/polyester integrated yarns and its acoustic properties.

With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, the impact of noise on people's health has become an increasingly serious issue, but it is still a challenge for the reducing the noise due to its complex property. Textiles with many loose porous structures have gained much significant attentions, thus chenille yarns with plush fibers on the surface, and polyester monofilament were chosen to fabricate the integrated knitting yarns, and their fundamental and mechanical properties were fully evaluated. The results showed that the diameter and braiding angle of the blended yarns decreased with the increase of pitch, resulting in a linear correlation of R > 0.

Suppressing Friction-Induced Stick-Slip Vibration and Noise of Zinc-Coated Steel through Temper Rolling.

Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Processing of Materials (Ministry of Education), Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China.

The stick-slip phenomenon as a prevalent friction instability poses significant challenges to industry, including frictional vibration, reduced precision, and noise generation. The interfacial interactions between asperities on the surface of materials are critical in influencing stick-slip behavior. This study focused on modifying the asperities on the surface of zinc-coated steel through temper rolling as a new approach to suppress friction-induced stick-slip vibration and noise.

Highly Compressible Micro/Nanofibrous Sponges with Thin-Walled Cavity Structures Enable Low-Frequency Noise Reduction.

Nano Lett

Innovation Center for Textile Science and Technology, College of Textiles, Donghua University, Shanghai 200051, China.

Increasing noise pollution has generated a tremendous threat to human health and incurred great economic losses. However, most existing noise-absorbing materials present a significant challenge in achieving lightweight, robust mechanical stability, and efficient low-frequency (<1000 Hz) noise reduction. Herein, we create highly compressible micro/nanofibrous sponges with thin-walled cavity structures for efficient noise reduction through electrospinning and dispersion casting.

The generalized Langevin equation (GLE) for a tagged particle in a liquid of charged particles under the influence of external AC electric fields is studied. For the fractional memory kernel in the GLE, the mean square displacement (MSD) of the particle is studied analytically in both the underdamped and overdamped regimes. The MSD consists of a part corresponding to the absence of the external field and a part affected by the external field, which is expressed through the mean velocity of the particle.

Acoustics of rubbing feathers: the velvet of owl feathers reduces frictional noise.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how the soft velvet surface on owl flight feathers helps them fly quietly, proposing two main noise reduction hypotheses: one related to aerodynamic noise and the other to frictional noise.
  • Researchers analyzed the velvet length in Barred owls and found it has evolved independently in various bird groups, including owls and falcons.
  • The experiments demonstrated that velvet-coated feathers are significantly quieter during friction compared to non-velvet feathers, supporting the idea that velvet primarily reduces sound from feathers sliding against each other.
