Vibration Reduction by a Partitioned Dynamic Vibration Absorber with Acoustic Black Hole Features

Vibration quality is a vital indicator for assessing the progress of modern equipment.The dynamic vibration absorber(DVA)based on the acoustic black hole(ABH)feature is a new passive control method that manipulates waves.It offers efficient energy focalization and broad-spectrum vibration suppression,making it highly promising for applications in large equipment such as aircraft,trains,and ships.Despite previous advancements in ABH-DVA development,certain challenges remain,particularly in ensuring effective coupling with host structures during control.To address these issues,this study proposes a partitioned ABH-featured dynamic vibration absorber(PABH-DVA)with partitions in the radial direction of the disc.By employing a plate as the host structure,simulations and experiments were conducted,demonstrating that the PABH-DVA outperforms the original symmetric ABH-DVA in terms of damping performance.The study also calculated and compared the coupling coefficients of the two ABH-DVAs to uncover the mechanism behind the enhanced damping.Simulation results revealed that the PABH-DVA exhibits more coupled modes,occasionally with lower coupling coefficients than the symmetric ABH-DVA.The influence of frequency ratio and modal mass was further analyzed to explain the reasons behind the PABH-DVA's superior damping performance.Additionally,the study discussed the impact of the number of slits and their orientation.This research further explains the coupling mechanism between the ABH-DVA and the controlled structure,and provides new ideas for the further application of ABH in engineering.

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.

An electromagnetic semi-active dynamic vibration absorber for thin-walled workpiece vibration suppression in mirror milling

As critical components of aircraft skins and rocket fuel storage tank shells,large thin-walled workpieces are susceptible to vibration and deformation during machining due to their weak local stiffness.To address these challenges,we propose a novel tunable electromagnetic semi-active dynamic vibration absorber(ESADVA),which integrates with a magnetic suction follower to form a followed ESADVA(follow-ESADVA)for mirror milling.This system combines a tunable magnet oscillator with a follower,enabling real-time vibration absorption and condition feedback throughout the milling process.Additionally,the device supports self-sensing and frequency adjustment by providing feedback to a linear actuator,which alters the distance between magnets.This resolves the traditional issue of being unable to directly monitor vibration at the machining point due to space constraints and tool interference.The frequency shift characteristics and vibration absorption performance are comprehensively investigated.Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the prototyped follow-ESADVA achieves frequency synchronization with the milling tool,resulting in a vibration suppression rate of approximately 47.57%.Moreover,the roughness of the machined surface decreases by18.95%,significantly enhancing the surface quality.The results of this work pave the way for higher-quality machined surfaces and a more stable mirror milling process.

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.

Dynamical Stability of Cantilevered Pipe Conveying Fluid with Inerter-Based Dynamic Vibration Absorber

Cantilevered pipe conveying fluid may become unstable and flutter instability would occur when the velocity of the fluid flow in the pipe exceeds a critical value.In the present study,the theoretical model of a cantilevered fluid-conveying pipe attached by an inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber(IDVA)is proposed and the stability of this dynamical system is explored.Based on linear governing equations of the pipe and the IDVA,the effects of damping coefficient,weight,inerter,location and spring stiffness of the IDVAon the critical flow velocities of the pipe system is examined.It is shown that the stability of the pipe may be significantly affected by the IDVA.In many cases,the stability of the cantilevered pipe can be enhanced by designing the parameter values of the IDVA.By solving nonlinear governing equations of the dynamical system,the nonlinear oscillations of the pipe with IDVA for sufficiently high flow velocity beyond the critical value are determined,showing that the oscillation amplitudes of the pipe can also be suppressed to some extent with a suitable design of the IDVA.

Analysis of radial stiffness of rubber bush used in dynamic vibration absorber

In order to study the influence of the structural parameters of the rubber bush on its radial stiffness, the constitutive relation of rubber materiel is used to obtain the calculation formula of the dimensionless radial stiffness coefficient. The obtained theoretical result is consistent with previous research results in both long rubber bushes and short rubber bushes. The simulation case was conducted by the finite element method to verify the correctness of the theory. The axial compression experiment was conducted to obtain the parameters needed in the simulation. The result shows that the percentage difference between the theoretical result and the simulation one is only 2.75%. A series of simulations were conducted to compare with previous work, and the largest magnitude of the percentage difference is only about 5%. Finally, the radial stiffness experiment was conducted by using a dynamic vibration absorber, and the influence of the structural parameters of the rubber bush on its radial stiffness is obtained. The result shows that the radial stiffness of the rubber bush increases with the increase in the length and the inner radius, but decreases with the increase in the outer radius.

The Effect of Mass Ratio and Air Damper Characteristics on the Resonant Response of an Air Damped Dynamic Vibration Absorber

In this paper, it is shown that, a road vehicle 2DOF air damped quartercar suspension system can conveniently be transformed into a 2DOF air damped vibrating system representing an air damped dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) with an appropriate change in the ratio μ of the main mass and the absorber mass i.e. when mass ratio μ >> 1. Also the effect of variation of the mass ratio, air damping ratio and air spring rate ratio, on the motion transmissibility at the resonant frequency of the main mass of the DVA has been dis- cussed. It is shown that, as the air damping ratio in the absorber system increases, there is a substantial decrease in the motion transmissibility of the main mass system where the air damper has been modeled as a Maxwell type. Optimal value of the air damping ratio for the minimum motion transmissibility of the main mass of the system has been determined. An experimental setup has been designed and developed with a control system to vary air pressure in the damper in the absorber system. The motion transmissibility characteristics of the main mass system have been obtained, and the optimal value of the air damping ratio has been determined for minimum motion transmissibility of the main mass of the

An adaptive dynamic vibration absorber(ADVA)is designed for lowfrequency vibration suppression.The leaf springs are applied as the tuning stiffness elements.The principle of variable stiffness is analyzed to obtain the effective range of the first natural frequency variation.A classic simply supported manipulator is selected as the controlled system.The coupled dynamic model of the manipulator-ADVA system is built to obtain the maximum damping efficiency and the vibration absorption capacity of the designed ADVA.An experimental platform is set up to verify the theoretical results.It is revealed that the ADVA can adjust the first natural frequency on a large scale by changing the curvature of the leaf springs.The amplitude of the manipulator is reduced obviously with the installation of the designed ADVA.Finally,based on the short-time Fourier transformation(STFT),a stepwise optimization algorithm is proposed to achieve a quick tuning of the natural frequency of the ADVA so that it can always coincide with the frequency of the prime structure.Through the above steps,the intelligent frequency tuning of the ADVA is realized with high vibration absorption performance in a wide frequency range.

Vibration Suppression of Unbalanced Machines UsingLumped Mass Dynamic Vibration Absorber

The vibration of machines due to rotating parts unbalance disturbs the machine functioning and shortens the lifetime of its parts. A dynamic vibration absorber is a favorite solution to suppress the machine vibration since its implementation does not require any modification neither on the machine nor on its installation. The paper considers an unbalanced machine to which a lumped mass dynamic vibration absorber is attached. Firstly, the machine equipped with the absorber is modeled, and the vibration expressions are extracted. Secondly, an original approach to optimize the absorber parameters is presented, and simulation results are advanced, when the absorber is undamped and damped. Thirdly, the absorber optimal parameters allowing the best vibration reduction of the machine are identified, showing bow the absorber should be designed, when the disturbance frequency is stable or unstable. The results are a significant contribution in the vibration control of unbalanced machines.

Design of distributed dynamic absorbers for vibration suppression of panel structures

Distributed dynamic absorbers have many advantages such as wide frequency bandwidth for vibration suppression,strong detuning adaptability,and high system stability,making them very suitable for the vibration and noise control of continuous structures.Therefore,they have broad application prospects in various fields such as transportation,aviation,and aerospace.However,there are still many challenges in the engineering applications of distributed dynamic absorbers for vibration suppression,including the engineering realization of the optimal damping of traditional optimal coherence dynamic absorbers,and the engineering applicability of the finite periodic array dynamic absorbers.Based on the damping material properties obtained by the dynamic mechanical analyzer tests,this paper establishes the finite element model of the cantilever-beam-type dynamic absorber with constrained damping layers,aiming to realize the accurate determination of the optimal damping.Experiments are conducted by attaching the traditional dynamic absorbers with the optimal damping to a thin-walled panel with four clamped edges.Results show that the vibration of the panel is well suppressed,with the reduction of the frequency response peak larger than 14 dB and the reduction ratio of RMS larger than 58%within 500 Hz.Afterwards,the periodically arrayed dynamic absorbers are designed according to the bandgap regulation method.The tuning behavior of the arrayed dynamic absorbers by changing designing parameters is investigated.The vibration reduction effect of arrayed dynamic absorbers is compared with that of the traditional dynamic absorbers under the same mass ratio through experiments.Results indicate that the arrayed dynamic absorbers are easier to design,and have a similar reduction effect on the modal vibration of the thin panel as the traditional dynamic absorbers within a narrow frequency range near the natural frequency,while they perform unsatisfactory in a broad band.Significantly,if the appropriate frequency and damping of the arrayed absorbers are chosen,a relatively wide bandgap can also be generated,which shows high engineering applicability.The research work in this paper provides beneficial reference for the design of distributed dynamic absorbers suitable for vibration suppression of thinwalled panel structures.

Low frequency vibration control of railway vehicles based on ahigh static low dynamic stiffness dynamic vibration absorber

In order to control the low frequency vibration of railway vehicles, a vertical two degrees of freedom(2DOF) low frequency dynamic vibration absorber(DVA) based on acceleration is proposed. Parameters of the dynamic vibration absorber are put forth to control the low frequency vibration of car body bouncing and pitching. Next, the acceleration power spectrum density(PSD)and ride quality of the car body are calculated based on the pseudo excitation method(PEM) and covariance algorithm,respectively. According to the requirement of 2DOF low frequency DVA, the isolators with high static low dynamic stiffness(HSLDS) are designed. A high-speed train dynamic model containing HSLDS isolators is established to validate the effects on the car body vibration. The results reveal that the 2D low frequency DVA can significantly reduce the vibration of the car body bouncing and pitching. Thus, the ride quality of the vehicle is increased, and passenger comfort is improved.

A review on the gun barrel vibrations and control for a main battle tank

Achieving high hitting accuracy for a main battle tank is challenging while the tank is on the move. This can be reached by proper design of a weapon control and gun system. In order to design an effective gun system while the tank is moving, better understanding of the dynamic behavior of the gun system is required. In this study, the dynamic behaviour of a gun system is discussed in this respect. Both experimental and numerical applications for the determination of the dynamic behaviour of a tank gun system are investigated. Methods such as the use of muzzle reference system(MRS) and vibration absorbers, and active vibration control technology for the control and the reduction of the muzzle tip deflections are also reviewed. For the existing gun systems without making substantial modifications,MRS could be useful in controlling the deflections of gun barrels with estimation/prediction algorithms.The vibration levels could be cut into half by the use of optimised vibration absorbers for an existing gun.A new gun system with a longer barrel can be as accurate as the one with a short barrel with the appropriate structural modifications.

Novel approach for active vibration control of a flexible missile

This paper investigates the feasibility of using an active dynamic vibration absorber(ADVA) for active vibration control of a flexible missile system through simulation.Based on the principles of a dynamic vibration absorber(DVA),a ring-type ADVA is first designed to attenuate the elastic vibration of the flexible missile,and the design of the active controller adopts the proportional-integral-derivative(PID)control algorithm.The motion equations of a flexible missile with an ADVA,which is subjected to follower thrust at its aft end,are derived using the Lagrangian approach.Taking the minimum of the root mean square(RMS) of the lateral displacement response of the center of mass as the objective function,a genetic algorithm(GA) is used to optimize the parameter of the DVA and PID controller.The numerical calculations show that the ADVA and DVA are effective in suppressing the vibration and provide approximately 41.2% and 17.6% improvement,respectively,compa red with the case of no DVA,The ADVA has better performance than the DVA,When the missile is subjected to follower thrust,the effect of vibration reduction is more effective than the case without follower thrust.It is feasible to reduce vibration and improve the stability of flexible missiles by means of the ADVA.

Structure-Borne Sound Attenuation at Corner Interface with Dynamic Vibration Absorber Attached

Structure-borne sound attenuation at corner interface of two plates with dynamic vibration absorber attached is investigated by wave approach.Equations governing transmission and reflection coefficients are deduced by introducing some non-dimensional coefficients,which help to reveal the physical sense inside and to simplify the analysis.Numerical investigation on vibration energy transmission of bending wave is carried out as well.The results from measurement and prediction show almost the same trends in the simplified experiment.It is found that energy transmission at corner interface depends greatly on whether the dynamic vibration absorber attached acts at resonance and is relatively lower right after the nature frequency of dynamic vibration absorber.Furthermore,the dynamic vibration absorber attached provides less energy transmission of bending wave than blocking mass at the end of "passing band".

A new type of piecewise negative stiffness(NS)mechanism is designed and the relationship between the force and displacement is studied.At first,the prototype of the piecewise NS mechanism is established,and the stiffness characteristic of this mechanism is analyzed.Then,the piecewise NS mechanism is applied to dynamic vibration absorber(DVA)system to establish a dynamic model with the piecewise linearity.The differential motion equations are derived according to Newton's law of mechanics.The approximate analytical solution and the amplitude frequency curve of the system with the piecewise NS are obtained by means of the averaging method.The correctness of the analytical solution is proved by comparing with the numerical solution.In the end,the comparisons with two other traditional DVAs show that the system in this paper has better vibration reduction effect under the condition of harmonic excitation and random excitation.

The characteristic of power flow in broad band dynamic vibration absorber

DVA (dynamic vibration absorber) is good for restrain of the resonance vibration in low frequency, especially under the condition that there are only one mode or two modes in a frequency band. It seems rather difficult to control the resonance vibration of elastic structures in high frequency, since usually there are so many modes in high frequency band. The broad band DVA is brought forward to reduce the resonance vibration of elastic structures. The broad band DVA is designed on the basis of the characteristic of power flow in structure in this paper. The broad band DVA is effective on absorbing the resonance vibration power flow of the most important modes. The ability of absorbing vibration for the broad band DVA is analyzed in detail. The results obtained in this paper provide a basis for the optimization design of the broad band DVA and the optimization positions on structures.
