Synchronization of two coupled exciters in a vibrating system of spatial motion

The paper proposes an analytical approach to investigate the synchronization of the two coupled exciters in a vibrating system of spatial motion. Introducing the distur- bance parameters for average angular velocity of two excit- ers, we deduce the non-dimensional coupling equations of angular velocities of two exciters, in which the inertia cou- pling matrix is symmetric and the stiffness coupling matrix is antisymmetric in a non-resonant vibrating system. The analysis of the coupling dynamic characteristic shows that the coupled cosine effect of the phase angles will cause the torque acting on two motors to limit the increase of phase difference between two exciters as well as sustain its sym- metry of two exciters during the running process. It physi- cally explains the peculiarity of self-synchronization of two exciters. The cosine effect of phase angles of the vibrations excited by each exciter will decrease its moment of inertia. The residual moment of inertia of each exciter represents its relative moment of inertia. The stability condition of synchro- nization of two exciters is that the relative non-dimensional moments of inertia of two exciters are all greater than zero and four times their product is greater than the square of their coefficient of coupled cosine effect of phase angles, which is equivalent to that the inertia coupling matrix is positive definite and all its elements are positive. The numeric results show that the structure of the vibrating system can ensure the stability condition of synchronous operation.

Synchronisation and general dynamic symmetry of a vibrating system with two exciters rotating in opposite directions

We derive the non-dimensional coupling equation of two exciters, including inertia coupling, stiffness coupling and load coupling. The concept of general dynamic symmetry is proposed to physically explain the synehronisation of the two exciters, which stems from the load coupling that produces the torque of general dynamic symmetry to force the phase difference between the two exciters close to the angle of general dynamic symmetry. The condition of implementing synchronisation is that the torque of general dynamic symmetry is greater than the asymmetric torque of the two motors. A general Lyapunov function is constructed to derive the stability condition of synchronisation that the non-dimensional inertia coupling matrix is positive definite and all its elements are positive. Numeric results show that the structure of the vibrating system can guarantee the stability of synchronisation of the two exciters, and that the greater the distances between the installation positions of the two exciters and the mass centre of the vibrating system are, the stronger the ability of general dynamic symmetry is.

Synchronization of three homodromy coupled exciters in a non-resonant vibrating system of plane motion

In this paper, the synchronization problem of three homodromy coupled exciters in a non-resonant vibrating system of plane motion is studied. By introducing the average method of modified small parameters, we deduced dimensionless coupling equation of three exciters, which converted the problem of synchronization into that of the existence and stability of zero solutions for the average differential equations of the small parameters. Based on the dimensionless coupling torques and characteristics of the cor- responding limited functions, the synchronization criterion for three exciters was derived as the absolute value of dimensionless residual torque difference between arbitrary two motors being less than the maximum of their dimensionless coupling torques. The stability criterion of its synchronous state lies in the double-condition that the inertia coupling matrix is positive definite and all its elements are positive as well. The synchronization determinants are the coefficients of synchronization ability, also called as the general dynamical symmetry coefficients. The double-equilibrium state of the vibrating system is manifested by numeric method, and the numeric and simulation results derived thereof indicate the indispensable and crucial role the structural parameters of the vibrating system play in the stability criterion of synchronous operation. Besides, by adjusting its structural parameters, the elliptical motion of the vibrating system successfully met the requirements in engineering applications.

PI-type Iterative Learning Control for Nonlinear Electro-hydraulic Servo Vibrating System

For the electro-hydraulic servo vibrating system（ESVS） with the characteristics of non-linearity and repeating motion, a novel method, PI-type iterative learning control（ILC）, is proposed on the basis of traditional PID control. By using memory ability of computer, the method keeps last time＇s tracking error of the system and then applies the error information to the next time＇s control process. At the same time, a forgetting factor and a D-type learning law of feedforward fuzzy-inferring referenced displacement error under the optimal objective are employed to enhance the systemic robustness and tracking accuracy. The results of simulation and test reveal that the algorithm has a trait of high repeating precision, and could restrain the influence of nonlinear factors like leaking, external disturbance, aerated oil, etc. Compared with traditional PID control, it could better meet the requirement of nonlinear electro -hydraulic servo vibrating system.

Theoretical, Numerical and Experimental Study on Synchronization of Three Identical Exciters in a Vibrating System

The theory on synchronization of two exciters is more widely used in engineering, while that of more than two exciters is less considered. So it is of great significant to investigate synchronization of three exciters. Firstly by introducing the average method of modified small parameters, the dimensionless coupling equations(DCE) of three exciters are derived, which convert the problem of synchronization into that of existence and stability of zero solutions for the DCE and lead to the construction on criterions of synchronization and stability in the simplified form for three exciters. Then the synchronization criterion is discussed numerically, as well as the abilities of synchronization and stability, some results thereof indicate that the synchronization ability increases with the increase of the coupling moment among three exciters, but decreases with that of their phase differences. Finally, an experiment on synchronization with three exciters is carried out. Through the comparison and analysis of experimental data on phase differences among three exciters, responses of system, and phases of three exciters recorded by high-speed camera, the parameters of system satisfying the above two criterions can ensure the synchronous and stable operation of three exciters. As a result, the average method of modified small parameters can be used as a theoretical apparatus studying reasonably the synchronization mechanism of three exciters, it is also proved to be useful and feasible by numeric and experiment. The present research lays the foundation and guidance for the establishment of synchronization theory system with multi-exciter and engineering design.

Pseudoelastic effect in autoparametric non-ideal vibrating system with SMA spring

In this paper a three degrees of freedom autoparametric system with limited power supply is investigated numerically. The system consists of the body, which is hung on a spring and a damper, and two pendulums connected by shape memory alloy （SMA） spring. Shape memory alloys have ability to change their material properties with temperature. A polynomial constitutive model is assumed to describe the behavior of the SMA spring. The non-ideal source of power adds one degree of freedom, so the system has four degrees of freedom. The equations of motion have been solved numerically and pseudoelastic effects associated with the martensitic phase transformation are studied. It is shown that in this type system one mode of vibrations might excite or damp another mode, and that except different kinds of periodic vibrations there may also appear chaotic vibrations. For the identification of the responses of the system＇s various techniques, including chaos techniques such as bifurcation diagrams and time histories, power spectral densities, Poincare maps and exponents of Lyapunov may be used.

Vibration Control of A Flexible Marine Riser System Subject to Input Dead Zone and Extraneous Disturbances

An observer-based adaptive backstepping boundary control is proposed for vibration control of flexible offshore riser systems with unknown nonlinear input dead zone and uncertain environmental disturbances.The control algorithm can update the control law online through real-time data to make the controller adapt to the environment and improve the control precision.Specifically,based on the adaptive backstepping framework,virtual control laws and Lyapunov functions are designed for each subsystem.Three direction interference observers are designed to track the timevarying boundary disturbance.On this basis,the inverse of the dead zone and linear state transformation are used to compensate for the original system and eliminate the adverse effects of the dead zone.In addition,the stability of the closed-loop system is proven by Lyapunov stability theory.All the system states are bounded,and the vibration offset of the riser converges to a small area of the initial position.Finally,four examples of flexible marine risers are simulated in MATLAB to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Research on modeling and self-excited vibration mechanism in magnetic levitation-collision interface coupling system

The modeling and self-excited vibration mechanism in the magnetic levitation-collision interface coupling system are investigated.The effects of the control and interface parameters on the system's stability are analyzed.The frequency range of self-excited vibrations is investigated from the energy point of view.The phenomenon of self-excited vibrations is elaborated with the phase trajectory.The corresponding control strategies are briefly analyzed with respect to the vibration mechanism.The results show that when the levitation objects collide with the mechanical interface,the system's vibration frequency becomes larger with the decrease in the collision gap;when the vibration frequency exceeds the critical frequency,the electromagnetic system continues to provide energy to the system,and the collision interface continuously dissipates energy so that the system enters the self-excited vibration state.

Study on vibration reduction of two-scale system coupled with dynamic vibration absorber

The dynamic vibration absorber with inerter and grounded stiffness(IGDVA)is used to control a two-scale system subject to a weak periodic perturbation.The vibration suppression effect is remarkable.The amplitude of the main system coupled with absorber is significantly reduced,and the high frequency vibration completely disappears.First,through the slow-fast analysis and stability theory,it is found that the stability of the autonomous system exerts a notable regulating effect on the vibration response of the non-autonomous system.After adding the dynamic vibrator absorber,the center in the autonomous system changes to an asymptotically stable focus,consequently suppressing the vibration in the non-autonomous system.Further research reveals that the parameters of the absorber affect the real parts of the eigenvalues of the autonomous system,thereby regulating the stability of the system.Transitioning from a qualitative standpoint to a quantitative approach,a comparison of the solutions before and after the introduction of the dynamic absorber reveals that,when the grounded stiffness ratio and the mass ratio of the dynamic absorber are not equal,the high-frequency part in the analytical solution disappears.As a result,this leads to a reduction in the amplitude of the trajectory,achieving a vibration reduction effect.

Research on Automatic Test System of Engine Blade Natural Frequency

Blades are one of the important components on aircraft engines.If they break due to vibration failure,the normal operation of the entire engine will be offected.Therefore,it is necessary to measure their natural frequency before installing them on the engine to avoid resonance.At present,most blade vibration testing systems require manual operation by operators,which has high requirements for operators and the testing process is also very cumbersome.Therefore,the testing efficiency is low and cannot meet the needs of efficient testing.To solve the current problems of low testing efficiency and high operational requirements,a high-precision and high-efficiency automatic test system is designed.The testing accuracy of this system can reach ±1%,and the testing efficiency is improved by 37% compared to manual testing.Firstly,the influence of compression force and vibration exciter position on natural frequency test is analyzed by amplitude-frequency curve,so as to calibrate servo cylinder and fourdimensional motion platform.Secondly,the sine wave signal is used as the excitation to sweep the blade linearly,and the natural frequency is determined by the amplitude peak in the frequency domain.Finally,the accuracy experiment and efficiency experiment are carried out on the developed test system,whose results verify its high efficiency and high precision.

Seismic safety assessment with non-Gaussian random processes for train-bridge coupled systems

Extensive high-speed railway(HSR)network resembled the intricate vascular system of the human body,crisscrossing mainlands.Seismic events,known for their unpredictability,pose a significant threat to both trains and bridges,given the HSR’s extended operational duration.Therefore,ensuring the running safety of train-bridge coupled(TBC)system,primarily composed of simply supported beam bridges,is paramount.Traditional methods like the Monte Carlo method fall short in analyzing this intricate system efficiently.Instead,efficient algorithm like the new point estimate method combined with moment expansion approximation(NPEM-MEA)is applied to study random responses of numerical simulation TBC systems.Validation of the NPEM-MEA’s feasibility is conducted using the Monte Carlo method.Comparative analysis confirms the accuracy and efficiency of the method,with a recommended truncation order of four to six for the NPEM-MEA.Additionally,the influences of seismic magnitude and epicentral distance are discussed based on the random dynamic responses in the TBC system.This methodology not only facilitates seismic safety assessments for TBC systems but also contributes to standard-setting for these systems under earthquake conditions.

Simulation and Traffic Safety Assessment of Heavy-Haul Railway Train-Bridge Coupling System under Earthquake Action

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to obtain the explicit expression of the structural matrix in the traditional train-bridge coupling vibration analysis,a combined simulation system of train-bridge coupling system(TBCS)under earthquake(MAETB)is developed based on the cooperative work of MATLAB and ANSYS.The simulation system is used to analyze the dynamic parameters of the TBCS of a prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge benchmark model of a heavy-haul railway.The influence of different driving speeds,seismic wave intensities,and traveling wave effects on the dynamic response of the TBCS under the actions of the earthquakes is discussed.The results show that the bridge displacement increase in magnitude in the lateral direction is more significant than in the vertical direction under the action of an earthquake.The traveling wave effect can significantly reduce the lateral response of the bridge,but it will significantly increase the train derailment coefficient.When the earthquake intensity exceeds 0.2 g,the partial derailment coefficient of the train has exceeded the limit value of the specification.

Research on the Damping Mechanism of Time-Delay Coupled Negative Stiffness Dynamic Absorber in Nonlinear Vibration Damping System

A study was conducted on the effect of time delay and structural parameters on the vibration reduction of a time delayed coupled negative stiffness dynamic absorber in nonlinear vibration reduction systems. Taking dynamic absorbers with different structural and control parameters as examples, the effects of third-order nonlinear coefficients, time-delay control parameters, and negative stiffness coefficients on reducing the replication of the main system were discussed. The nonlinear dynamic absorber has a very good vibration reduction effect at the resonance point of the main system and a nearby area, and when 1 increases to a certain level, the stable region of the system continues to increase. The amplitude curve of the main system of a nonlinear dynamic absorber will generate Hop bifurcation and saddle node bifurcation in the region far from the resonance point, resulting in almost periodic motion and jumping phenomena in the system. For nonlinear dynamic absorbers with determined structural parameters, time-delay feedback control can be adopted to control the amplitude of the main system. For different negative stiffness coefficients, there exists a minimum damping point for the amplitude of the main system under the determined system structural parameters and time-delay feedback control parameters.

Synchronization and Stability of a Nonlinear Vibrating Mechanical System Characterized by Asymmetrical Piecewise Linearity

In previous studies about the synchronization of vibrators,the restoring forces of springs are mainly treated as linear directly,whereas the nonlinear features are rarely considered in vibrating systems.To make up this drawback,a dynamical model of a nonlinear vibrating mechanical system with double rigid frames(RFs),driven by two vibrators,is proposed to explore the synchronization and stability of the system.In this paper,the nonlinearity is reflected in nonlinear restoring forces of springs characterized by asymmetrical piecewise linear,where the nonlinear stiffness of springs is linearized equivalently using the asymptotic method.Based on the average method and Hamilton’s principle,the theory conditions to achieve synchronization and stability of two vibrators are deduced.After the theory analyses,some numerical qualitative analyses are given to reveal the coupling dynamical characteristics of the system and the relative motion properties between two RFs.Besides,some experiments are carried out to examine the validity of the theoretical results and the correctness of the numerical analyses results.Based on the comparisons of the theory,numeric and experiment,the ideal working regions of the system are suggested.Based on the present work,some new types of vibrating equipment,such as vibrating discharging centrifugal dehydrators/conveyers/screens,can be designed.

Phase behaviors of transfer functions in Vibrating systems

This paper investigates the applicabilitles of pole-zero model and wave propagation theory in estimating the phase characteristics of vibrating systems. The measured phase spectra are compared with the estlmated reverberant phase limit and wave propagation phase. The relations between transfer function phase and frequency, damping, and separation distance are described. The present results show that the pole-zero model provides a reasonable estimation of the reverberant phase limit in low frequency band below an identified transition frequency.The reverberant phase is linearly dependent on frequency in this band, but from the transition frequency and onwards the phase increases only with the square root of frequency. This behavior is characteristic for free propagating waves

Synchronization of the four identical unbalanced rotors in a vibrating system of plane motion

A new mechanism is proposed to implement the synchronization of the four unbalanced rotors in a vibrating system, which consists of a main rigid frame (MRF) and two accessorial rigid frames (ARF). An analytical approach is developed to study the coupling dynamic characteristics of the four unbalanced rotors, which converts the problem of synchronization of the four unbalanced rotors into the existence and the stability of zero solutions for the non-dimensional differential equations of the angular velocity disturbance parameters (NDDEDP). The stability of zero solutions of the NDDEDP is decomposed into that of its generalized system and a system of the three first order differential equations for the disturbance parameters of the phase differences. The coupling dynamic characteristic of the four unbalanced rotors includes the inertia coupling, the stiffness coupling of angular velocity and the load torque coupling. The non-dimensional inertia coupling matrix is symmetric, the non dimensional matrix of the stiffness coupling of angular velocity is antisymmetric and its diagonal elements are all negative. Hence, the general system of the NDDEDP automatically satisfies the generalized Lyapunov equations when the non-dimensional inertia coupling matrix is positive definite and its elements are all positive. Using Routh-Hurwitz criterion the condition of stability of differential equations for the disturbance parameters of the phase differences is obtained. The load torque coupling makes the vibrating system have the dynamic characteristic of selecting motions and self-synchronization of the four unbalanced rotors arises from the dynamic characteristic of selecting motion of the vibrating system. When the two coefficients of coupling cosine effect of phase angles are all greater than 0 and the three indexes of synchronization are all far greater than 1, the vibrating system can implement an elliptical motion of the main rigid frame required in engineering. Numeric results show that the structural parameters of the proposed mechanism can guarantee the non-dimensional inertia matrix to be always positive definite. Computer simulation is carried out to verify the results of the theoretical investigation.
