Dataset Information

Experimental dataset for measurements of freely vibrating structures equipped with impact dampers.

ABSTRACT: This data article comprises the experimental data during testing a vibration control technique for structural and mechanical systems which uses new passive vibrational control device called the linear particle chain impact damper (LPCID). The LPCID consists of freely moving spherical balls of different sizes arranged linearly inside a rigid container. The data were collected by taking precise measurements from a custom-designed experimental setup. The data were collected for a freely vibrating frame structure which was released from an initial position by an electromagnet. The data presented in the article will provide a path for researchers to validate the dynamic models for several types of impact dampers such as single-unit and multi-unit impact dampers. The data will also help in understanding the nonlinear behaviour of this type of impact dampers. The article also comprises data for examining the performance of the LPCID by varying the design parameters, including mass ratios, damper clearance and chain length. The article is related to research articles by Gharib and Karkoub (2017) [1].

Project description:Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a scalp-recorded electrical potential that occurs in humans in response to an auditory stimulus that defies previously established patterns of regularity. MMN amplitude is reduced in people with schizophrenia. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust and replicable rat model of MMN, as a platform for a more thorough understanding of the neurobiology underlying MMN. One of the major concerns for animal models of MMN is whether the rodent brain is capable of producing a human-like MMN, which is not a consequence of neural adaptation to repetitive stimuli. We therefore tested several methods that have been used to control for adaptation and differential exogenous responses to stimuli within the oddball paradigm. Epidural electroencephalographic electrodes were surgically implanted over different cortical locations in adult rats. Encephalographic data were recorded using wireless telemetry while the freely-moving rats were presented with auditory oddball stimuli to assess mismatch responses. Three control sequences were utilized: the flip-flop control was used to control for differential responses to the physical characteristics of standards and deviants; the many standards control was used to control for differential adaptation, as was the cascade control. Both adaptation and adaptation-independent deviance detection were observed for high frequency (pitch), but not low frequency deviants. In addition, the many standards control method was found to be the optimal method for observing both adaptation effects and adaptation-independent mismatch responses in rats. Inconclusive results arose from the cascade control design as it is not yet clear whether rats can encode the complex pattern present in the control sequence. These data contribute to a growing body of evidence supporting the hypothesis that rat brain is indeed capable of exhibiting human-like MMN, and that the rat model is a viable platform for the further investigation of the MMN and its associated neurobiology.
