Energy harvesting is a promise to harvest unwanted vibrations from a host structure. Similarly, a dynamic vibration absorber is proved to be a very simple and effective vibration suppression device, with many practical implementations in civil and mechanical engineering. This paper analyzes the prospect of using a vibration absorber for possible energy harvesting. To achieve this goal, a vibration absorber is supplemented with a piezoelectric stack for both vibration confinement and energy harvesting. It is assumed that the original structure is sensitive to vibrations and that the absorber is the element where the vibration energy is confined, which in turn is harvested by means of a piezoelectric stack. The primary goal is to control the vibration of the host structure and the secondary goal is to harvest energy out of the dynamic vibration absorber at the same time. Approximate fixed-point theory is used to find a closed form expression for optimal frequency ratio of the vibration absorber. The changes in the optimal parameters of the vibration absorber due to the addition of the energy harvesting electrical circuit are derived. It is shown that with a proper choice of harvester parameters a broadband energy harvesting can be obtained combined with vibration reduction in the primary structure.

Abstract This paper examines the performance of a regenerative dynamic vibration absorber, dubbed energy harvesting-enabled tuned mass-damper-inerter (EH-TMDI), for vibration suppression and energy harvesting in white noise excited damped linear primary structures. Single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structures under force and base excitations are studied as well as multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures under correlated random forces. The EH-TMDI includes an electromagnetic motor (EM), behaving as a shunt damper, sandwiched between a secondary mass and an inerter element connected in series. The latter element resists relative acceleration through a constant termed inertance which is readily scalable in actual inerter devices. In this regard, attention is herein focused on gauging the available energy for harvesting by the EM and the displacement variance of the primary structure as the inertance increases through comprehensive parametric investigations. This is supported by adopting inertance-dependent tuning formulae for the EH-TMDI stiffness and damping properties and closed-form expressions for the response of white-noise excited EH-TMDI-equipped SDOF and MDOF systems derived through random vibration theory. It is found that lightweight EH-TMDIs, having 1% the mass of the primary structure, achieve simultaneously improved vibration suppression and energy harvesting performance as inertance amplifies. For SDOF structures with grounded inerter, the improvement rate is higher for reduced inherent structural damping and increased EM shunt damping. For MDOF structures with non-grounded inerter, improvement rate is higher as the primary structure flexibility between the two EH-TMDI attachment points increases.

Dynamic Vibration

Dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is a simple and effective device for vibration absorption used in many practical applications. Determination of suitable parameters for DVA is of significant importance to achieve high vibration reduction effectiveness. This paper presents a   method to find the optimal parameters of a DVA attached to a linear damped rotary system excited by harmonic torque. To this end, a closed-form formula for the optimum tuning parameter is derived using the fixed-point theory based on an assumption that the damped rotary systems are lightly or moderately damped. The optimal damping ratio of DVA is found by solving a set of non-linear equations established by the Chebyshev's min-max criterion. The performance of the proposed optimal DVA is compared with that obtained by existing optimal solution in literature. It is shown that the proposed optimal parameters are possible to obtain superior vibration suppression compared to existing optimal formula. Extended simulations are carried out to examine the performance of the optimally designed DVA and the sensitivity of the optimum parameters. The simulation results show that the improvement of the vibration performance on damped rotary system can be as much as 90% by using DVA.

Magnetorheological elastomer is a new kind of intelligent material that mainly incorporates micron-sized ferromagnetic particles into a polymer. A dynamic vibration absorber that is based on the controllable shear modulus of magnetorheological elastomer is widely used in vibration systems. In the study, a flexible carbody model with a magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is established. A design method of a semiactive dynamic vibration absorber that is based on magnetorheological elastomer is introduced, and the operational principle of the semiactive dynamic vibration absorber is also discussed. To improve the vibration absorption performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber, via multiple regression analysis, the optimal design frequency expressions for both the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration of the carbody are fitted. Parameter determination for the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is investigated in detail. Then, the effects on the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration with the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber both with the passive vibration absorber and without a vibration absorber are analyzed. Finally, Sperling’s riding index is used to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber in a practical application. The results demonstrate that the vibration of the carbody can be effectively reduced by using the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber instead of the dynamic vibration absorber without the magnetorheological elastomer. The magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber that is modified by the optimum frequency provides superior vibration reduction performance and improves the riding quality of the railway vehicle.

Friction Induced Vibration

Friction-induced vibrations are a significant problem in various engineering applications, while dynamic vibration absorbers are an economical and effective tool for suppressing various kinds of vibrations. In this study, the archetypal mass-on-moving-belt model with an attached dynamic vibration absorber was considered. By adopting an analytical procedure, the optimal tuning of the absorber’s parameters was defined. Furthermore, the bifurcations occurring at the loss of stability were analytically investigated; this analysis illustrated that a properly chosen nonlinearity in the absorber’s stiffness permits controlling the supercritical or subcritical character of the bifurcation. However, a numerical analysis of the system’s dynamics, despite confirming the analytical results, also illustrated that the system’s global behavior is only slightly affected by the bifurcation character. Indeed, a dynamic vibration absorber possessing a perfectly linear restoring force function seems to provide the optimal performance; namely, it minimizes the velocity range for which stick–slip oscillations exists.

A self-powered electromagnetic vibration suppression and absorption system integrated with a magnetorheological damper and a linear motor is designed to attenuate the negative effect of vertical vibration caused by the increased unsprung mass for in-wheel motor electric vehicles in this article. The magnetorheological damper is used as a suspension damper to suppress body vibration, and linear motor is used as a dynamic vibration absorber, namely, linear electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber, to absorb tire vibration, and regenerates the vibration power to drive the magnetorheological damper, realizing self-power. Based on power flow theory, the power transfer mechanism of the vertical vibration for in-wheel motor electric vehicles and the regeneration potential are analyzed. The negative effect on the dynamic performance of in-wheel motor electric vehicles is analyzed through the root mean square of dynamic responses. Moreover, the specific structure scheme of the self-powered electromagnetic vibration suppression and absorption system is provided. The influence of system mass, stiffness, and damping of the linear electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber on the dynamic performance is analyzed, and these parameters are optimized by particle swarm optimization. Simulation results show that in comparison with a passive damper, the self-powered electromagnetic vibration suppression and absorption system can reduce the body acceleration by 17.05%, which is better than the magnetorheological damper (10.08%). The self-powered electromagnetic vibration suppression and absorption system increases the tire dynamic load by 5.62%, but it is 8.68% less than the magnetorheological damper. Additionally, the regenerated power can offset the consumed power adequately to realize self-power. Finally, a bench test is conducted to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the self-powered electromagnetic vibration suppression and absorption system.
