The dynamic behavior and decoupling approach of a six-DOF vibration isolation platform with eight pneumatic actuators are investigated. Owing to the symmetric configuration design of the platform, the coupling among different channels is greatly weakened. When the payload's principal axes of inertia parallel to the platform's axes of symmetry and the payload's center of mass is at the extension line of the platform's central axis, the motion can be decomposed into two independent single-input single-output channels and two independent two-input two-output subsystems. The second-order subsystems are decoupled further with the simultaneous matrix diagonalization. Thus a decoupling control strategy is developed. Effectiveness of the decoupling approach is verified through experiments of the platform, and the experimental results show that vibrations of the platform are attenuated obviously owing to the active control.展开更多

In particular, it stands on an FEM-based hybrid optimization scheme consisting of multiple two-dimensional models and one global three-dimensional model. First, representative planar FE (finite element) models orthogonal to the rail-direction are identified. For each section, the sensitivity of the trench's design parameters, such as geometry and backfill materials, to its vibration screening effect is respectively evaluated. Second, a full trench along the rail-direction is determined according to the two-dimensional optimization result. The global performance of the optimal trench is simulated in the three-dimensional model and finally becomes a reference for practical design. By optimizing the design parameters of a case study project, the proposed approach has shown the capability of solving complex engineering problems at a minimum computational cost, therefore is applicable in determining design parameters of rail-induced vibration isolation trenches.展开更多

However, vibration sensitive equipment located in these industrial buildings is vulnerable during earthquakes, which may cause huge economic loss. In this study, an innovative isolator for safeguarding the vibration sensitive equipment, namely, the static dynamics interchangeable^all pendulum system (SDI-BPS) is proposed and investigated to examine its protective capability for the vibration sensitive equipment during earthquakes through a series of tri-directional shaking table tests. The experimental results illustrate that the SDI-BPS isolator can provide significant damping to rolling types of base isolation systems for reducing the bearing displacement and size, and avoid the stress concentration, which can cause damage or scratches on the rolling surface of the isolator, to prolong its life span of service. The SDI-BPS isolator also provides excellent capability in protecting the vibration sensitive equipment and exhibits a stable behavior under long terms of service loadings and earthquakes.展开更多

We revealed the relationships between the active control force of the actuator and the parameters of the passive isolators by studying the dynamics of two-stage active vibration isolation for the actuator at the foregoing two positions in turn. With the actuator installed beside the upper mount, a small active force can achieve a very good isolating effect when the frequency of the stimulating force is much larger than the natural frequency of the upper mount; a larger active force is required in the low-frequency domain; and the active force equals the stimulating force when the upper mount works within the resonance region, suggesting an approach to reducing wobble and ensuring desirable installation accuracy by increasing the upper-mount stiffness. In either the low or the high frequency region far away from the resonance region, the active force is smaller when the actuator is beside the lower mount than beside the upper mount.展开更多
