Force And Displacement Transmissibility

Generalized geometric nonlinear damping based on the viscous damper with a non-negative velocity exponent is proposed to improve the isolation performance of a quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator in this paper. Firstly, the generalized geometric nonlinear damping characteristic is derived. Then, the amplitude-frequency responses of the QZS vibration isolator under force and base excitations are obtained, respectively, using the averaging method. Parametric analysis of the force and displacement transmissibility is conducted subsequently. At last, two phenomena are explained from the viewpoint of the equivalent damping ratio. The results show that decreasing the velocity exponent of the horizontal damper is beneficial to reduce the force transmissibility in the resonant region. For the case of base excitation, it is beneficial to select a smaller velocity exponent only when the nonlinear damping ratio is relatively large.

Abstract. The paper considers an impact of viscous linear and cubic nonlinear damping of the elastic support on nonlinear vibrations of a vertical hard gyroscopic unbalanced rotor, taking into account nonlinear stiffness of the support material. Analyzing the research results shows that linear and cubic nonlinear damping can significantly suppress the resonance peak of the fundamental harmonic, eliminate the jumping phenomena of the nonlinear system. In non-resonance areas where the velocity is higher than the critical one, cubic nonlinear damping, unlike linear one, can slightly suppress amplitude of the rotor vibration. Therefore, in the high-velocity area, only nonlinear damping can maintain performance of a vibration isolator. In resonance area, an increase in linear or cubic nonlinear damping significantly suppresses the ability to absolute displacement. In non-resonance area, where the rotational velocity is lower than the critical one, they have almost no impact on ability to absolute displacement. In high velocity area, an increase in nonlinear damping may slightly increase the moment of force transmissibility, but linear damping has almost no impact on it. The obtained results can be successfully used to produce passive vibration isolators used for damping the vibrations of rotary machines, including gyroscopic ones.

Isolation Performance

This study investigates the vibration power flow behavior and performance of inerter-based vibration isolators mounted on finite and infinite flexible beam structures. Two configurations of vibration isolators with spring, damper, and inerter as well as different rigidities of finite and infinite foundation structures are considered. Both the time-averaged power flow transmission and the force transmissibility are studied and used as indices to evaluate the isolation performance. Comparisons are made between the two proposed configurations of inerter-based isolators and the conventional spring-damper isolators to show potential performance benefits of including inerter for effective vibration isolation. It is shown that by configuring the inerter, spring, and damper in parallel in the isolator, anti-peaks are introduced in the time-averaged transmitted power and force transmissibility at specific frequencies such that the vibration transmission to the foundation can be greatly suppressed. When the inerter is connected in series with a spring-damper unit and then in-parallel with a spring, considerable improvement in vibration isolation can be achieved near the original peak frequency while maintaining good high-frequency isolation performance. The study provides better understanding of the effects of adding inerters to vibration isolators mounted on a flexible foundation, and benefits enhanced designs of inerter-based vibration suppression systems.

In this study, the applications of the cubic power law damping in vessel isolation systems are investigated. The isolation performance is assessed using the force transmissibility of the vessel isolation system, which is simplified as a multiple-degree-of-freedom system with two parallel freedoms. The force transmissibilities of different working conditions faced in practice are discussed by applying the cubic power law damping on different positions of the vessel isolation system. Numerical results indicate that by adding the cubic power law damping to an appropriate position, the isolation system can not only suppress the force transmissibility over the resonant frequency region but also keep the force transmissibility unaffected at the nonresonant frequency region. Moreover, the design of the nonlinear vessel isolation system is discussed by finding the optimal nonlinear damping of the isolation system.

Force Transmissibility

In the present study, the concept of the output frequency response function, recently proposed by the authors, is applied to theoretically investigate the force transmissibility of single degree of freedom (SDOF) passive vibration isolators with a nonlinear antisymmetric damping characteristic. The results reveal that a nonlinear antisymmetric damping characteristic has almost no effect on the transmissibility of SDOF vibration isolators over the ranges of frequencies, which are much lower or higher than the isolator’s resonance frequency. On the other hand, the introduction of a nonlinear antisymmetric damping can significantly reduce the transmissibility of the vibration isolator over the resonance frequency region. The results indicate that nonlinear vibration isolators with an antisymmetric damping characteristic have great potential to overcome the dilemma encountered in the design of passive linear vibration isolators, that is, increasing the level of damping to reduce the transmissibility at the resonance could increase the transmissibility over the range of higher frequencies. These important theoretical conclusions are then verified by simulation studies.
