In this study, a novel passive vibration control device, the three-element vibration absorber–inerter (TEVAI) is proposed. Inerter-based vibration absorbers, which utilize a mass that rotates due to relative translational motion, have recently been developed to take advantage of the potential high inertial mass (inertance) of a relatively small mass in rotation. In this work, a novel configuration of an inerter-based absorber is proposed, and its effectiveness at suppressing the vibration of a single-degree-of-freedom system is investigated. The proposed device is a development of two current passive devices: the tuned-mass-damper–inerter (TMDI), which is an inerter-base tuned mass damper (TMD), and the three-element dynamic vibration absorber (TEVA). Closed-form optimization solutions for this device connected to a single-degree-of-freedom primary structure and loaded with random base excitation are developed and presented. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this novel device, in comparison to the traditional TMD, TEVA, and TMDI, is also investigated. The results of this study demonstrate that the TEVAI possesses superior performance in the reduction of the maximum and root-mean-square (RMS) response of the underlying structure in comparison to the TMD, TEVA, and TMDI.

Tuned Vibration Absorber

This paper proposes an innovative solution to suppress torsional vibrations in any rotating machinery with a variable frequency of excitation, or a variable natural frequency. The adaptive torsional tuned vibration absorber (ATTVA) was designed using an integrated electromagnetic circuit, which can adapt its natural frequency to match the varying natural frequency of any Multi Degree of Freedom (MDOF) rotating system. A two degree of freedom rotating system was modeled along with the integrated ATTVA using the bond graph modeling technique. Simulation results showed that torsional vibrations can be easily attenuated by controlling the capacitance shunted to the voice coil circuit. The ATTVA was designed, fabricated and evaluated on a test rig in the laboratory. Test results revealed good matching between the mathematical model and the experimental data. Experiments were performed with different configurations of the ATTVA, and the experimental results showed reasonable suppression in vibration magnitude at the desired frequency.

Tuned Vibration Absorber

To mitigate the adverse structural responses, an improved version of the traditional tuned vibration absorber has been proposed based on the shape memory alloy spring, referred as the shape memory alloy-spring tuned vibration absorber. The finite element numerical models of the multi-degree-of-freedom structure (e.g., transmission tower) and shape memory alloy-spring tuned vibration absorber are developed by using the commercial software ANSYS, and the nonlinear behavior of the shape memory alloy spring is validated based on a previous experimental study. The damping mechanism of the shape memory alloy-spring tuned vibration absorber attached to a multi-degree-of-freedom structure under seismic excitations is investigated, and the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of the shape memory alloy spring is also discussed. The results show that the proposed damper has a two-stage damping mechanism, and its control performance is remarkable. Because the coupled system response is sensitive to the amplitude level, the optimal configuration of the shape memory alloy-spring tuned vibration absorber can be obtained by parametric analysis. Particularly, because of the nonlinear target energy transfer and transient resonance capture mechanism, the shape memory alloy-spring tuned vibration absorber exhibits stable control ability under different seismic waves, indicating a good stability in vibration control of a multi-degree-of-freedom system.

Tuned Vibration Absorber

An adaptive tuned vibration absorber (ATVA) can retune itself in response to a time-varying excitation frequency, enabling effective vibration attenuation over a range of frequencies. For a wide tuning range the ATVA is best realized through the use of a beam-like structure whose mechanical properties can be adapted through servo-actuation. This is readily achieved either by repositioning the beam supports (‘moveable-supports ATVA’) or by repositioning attached masses (‘moveable-masses ATVA’), with the former design being more commonly used, despite its relative constructional complexity. No research to date has addressed the fact that the effective mass of such devices varies as they are retuned, thereby causing a variation in their attenuation capacity. This article derives both the tuned frequency and effective mass characteristics of such ATVAs through a unified non-dimensional modal-based analysis that enables the designer to quantify the expected performance for any given application. The analysis reveals that the moveable-masses concept offers significantly superior vibration attenuation. Motivated by this analysis, a novel ATVA with actuator-incorporated moveable masses is proposed, which has the additional advantage of constructional simplicity. Experimental results from a demonstrator correlate reasonably well with the theory, and vibration control tests with logic-based feedback control demonstrate the efficacy of the device.

Abstract This paper presents an influence region analysis for an actively tuned vibration absorber, the Delayed Resonator (DR). DR is shown to respond to tonal excitations with time varying frequencies [1–3]. The vibration suppression is most effective at the point of attachment of the absorber to the primary structure. In this study we show that proper feedback control on the absorber can yield successful vibration suppression at points away from this point of attachment. The form and the size of such “influence region” strongly depend on the structural properties of the absorber and the primary system. There are a number of questions addressed in this paper: a) Stability of vibration absorption, considering that a single absorber is used to suppress oscillations at different locations. b) Possible common operating frequency intervals in which the suppression can be switched from one point on the structure to the others. A three-degree-of-freedom system is taken for as example case. One single DR absorber is demonstrated to suppress the oscillations at one of the three masses at a given time. Instead of an “influence region” a set of “influence points” is introduced. An analysis method is presented to find the common frequency interval in which the DR absorber operates at all three influence points.
