Vibration absorption of parallel-coupled nonlinear energy sink under shock and harmonic excitations

Nonlinear energy sink(NES)can passively absorb broadband energy from primary oscillators.Proper multiple NESs connected in parallel exhibit superior performance to single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF)NESs.In this work,a linear coupling spring is installed between two parallel NESs so as to expand the application scope of such vibration absorbers.The vibration absorption of the parallel and parallel-coupled NESs and the system response induced by the coupling spring are studied.The results show that the responses of the system exhibit a significant difference when the heavier cubic oscillators in the NESs have lower stiffness and the lighter cubic oscillators have higher stiffness.Moreover,the efficiency of the parallel-coupled NES is higher for medium shocks but lower for small and large shocks than that of the parallel NESs.The parallel-coupled NES also shows superior performance for medium harmonic excitations until higher response branches are induced.The performance of the parallel-coupled NES and the SDOF NES is compared.It is found that,regardless of the chosen SDOF NES parameters,the performance of the parallel-coupled NES is similar or superior to that of the SDOF NES in the entire force range.

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.

Effect of Changing Anion on the Crystalline Structure, Crystal Structure, Hirschfield Surface, IR and NMR Spectroscopy of Organic Salts and Hybrid Compounds: C6H4(NH3)2Cl2 (I), β-[C6H10N2]2ZnCl4 (II), Respectively

Two organic-inorganic hybrid materials, C6H4(NH3)2∙Cl2 (I) and β-[C6H10N2]2ZnCl4 (II), have been synthesized by hydrothermal method. These two materials are one of the hybrid materials have emerged as one of the most brilliant components classes. These extraordinary compounds synergistically combine the desired physical properties of both organic and inorganic components into a single compound offering the possibility to achieve great improvement over time in terms of science across various sectors. Their structures were determined by XRD pattern investigations and single crystal X-ray diffraction. These two compounds are crystallized in the monoclinic system;C2/c space group. In the both structures, the anionic-cationic entities are interconnected by hydrogen bonding contacts and p-p Interaction forming three-dimensional networks. Intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surfaces and the contacts of the four different chloride atoms in (II) were compared. The vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared spectroscopy. These compounds were also investigated by solid state13C NMR spectroscopy.

Theoretical studies of vibrationally resolved absorption and emission spectra: From a single chromophore to multichromophoric oligomers/aggregates

Absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies are useful tools to study the photo-physical properties of materials. The theoretical methods for calculation of the spectra of molecules/supermolecules and aggregates, whose structures can differ significantly, are reviewed from the viewpoint of computational efficiency. Several model compounds/multimers are taken as examples for the spectral calculations. The numerical results achieve a satisfactory agreement between the theory and experiment.

An adjustable anti-resonance frequency controller for a dual-stage actuation semi-active vibration isolation system

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry,the dynamic model of a controlled object is usually obtained from a frequency sweeping method before motion control.However,the existing isolators cannot properly isolate the disturbance of the inertial force on the platform base during frequency sweeping(the frequency is between 0 Hz and the natural frequency).In this paper,an adjustable anti-resonance frequency controller for a dual-stage actuation semi-active vibration isolation system(DSASAVIS)is proposed.This system has a significant anti-resonance characteristic;that is,the vibration amplitude can drop to nearly zero at a particular frequency,which is called the anti-resonance frequency.The proposed controller is designed to add an adjustable anti-resonance frequency to fully use this unique anti-resonance characteristic.Experimental results show that the closed-loop transmissibility is less than−15 dB from 0 Hz to the initial anti-resonance frequency.Furthermore,it is less than−30 dB around an added anti-resonance frequency which can be adjusted from 0 Hz to the initial anti-resonance frequency by changing the parameters of the proposed controller.With the proposed controller,the disturbance amplitude of the payload decays from 4 to 0.5 mm/s with a reduction of 87.5%for the impulse disturbance applied to the platform base.Simultaneously,the system can adjust the anti-resonance frequency point in real time by tracking the frequency sweeping disturbances,and a good vibration isolation performance is achieved.This indicates that the DSA-SAVIS and the proposed controller can be applied in the guarantee of an ultra-low vibration environment,especially at frequency sweeping in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
