Resonance response of fluid-conveying pipe with asymmetric elastic supports coupled to lever-type nonlinear energy sink

This paper studies the vibration absorber for a fluid-conveying pipe,where the lever-type nonlinear energy sink(LNES)and spring supports are coupled to the asymmetric ends of the system.The pseudo-arc-length method integrated with the harmonic balance method is used to investigate the steady-state responses analytically.Meanwhile,the numerical solution of the fluid-conveying pipe is calculated with the Runge-Kutta method.Moreover,a special response,called the collapsible closed detached response(CCDR),is first observed when the vibration response of mechanical structures is studied.Then,the relationship between the CCDR and the main structure primary response(PR)is obtained.In addition,the closed detached response(CDR)is also observed to research the resonance response of the fluid-conveying pipe.The appearance of either the CCDR or the CDR does affect the resonance attenuation.Furthermore,the mentioned two phenomena underline that the trend of vibration responses under external excitation goes continuous and gradual.Besides,the main advantage of the LNES is presented by contrasting the LNES with the nonlinear energy sink(NES)coupled to the same pipe system.It is found that the LNES can reduce the resonance response amplitude by 91.33%.

A novel way for vibration control of FGM fluid-conveying pipes via NiTiNOL-steel wire rope

In this study,a coupling model of fluid-conveying pipes made of functionally graded materials(FGMs)with NiTiNOL-steel(NiTi-ST)for vibration absorption is investigated.The vibration responses of the FGM fluid-conveying pipe with NiTi-ST are studied by the Galerkin truncation method(GTM)and harmonic balance method(HBM).The harmonic balance solutions and the numerical results are consistent.Also,the linearized stability of the structure is determined.The effects of the structure parameters on the absorption performance are also studied.The results show that the NiTi-ST is an effective means of vibration absorption.Furthermore,in studying the effect of the NiTi-ST,a closed detached response(CDR)is first observed.It is noteworthy that the CDR may dramatically change the vibration amplitude and that the parameters of the NiTi-ST may determine the emergence or disappearance of the CDR.This vibration absorption device can be extended to offer more general vibration control in engineering applications.
