AbstractVibration absorption is a core research area in the design and control of structures and machines, and exploiting antiresonances is an effective approach for systems under harmonic excitation. This paper proposes a comparative study and a review of the main passive techniques to antiresonance assignment proposed in the recent literature, by discussing them through some numerical examples too. The techniques discussed include the well-known Tuned Mass Damper, which has been widely developed in the literature. However, as the title reveals, great attention is paid to the methods inherited from the field of dynamic structural modification that assign antiresonances without modifying the number of degrees of freedom, by exploiting a proper modification of the system inertial and stiffness parameters. Due to higher mathematical complexity, these approaches have been less investigated in the literature although they are an effective and less invasive approach to antiresonance assignment, especially for machines. To puzzle out the complicated subject matter of antiresonances, their background and their key features are also discussed by reviewing the main theoretical results and their relationship with the assignment techniques. The paper is also enriched with several numerical examples to compare different methods and investigate the features of antiresonances. The concluding remarks of the paper bring together some open issues in this field of research and outlines some possible research directions.

Vibration absorption is a core research topic in structural dynamics and the mechanics of machines, and antiresonance assignment is an effective solution to such a problem in the presence of harmonic excitation forces. Due to recent developments in the theory of feedback control systems, the use of active control approaches to antiresonance assignment has been recently gaining more attention in the literature. Therefore, several methods exploiting state feedback or output feedback have been proposed in recent years. These techniques that just rely on servo-controlled actuators are becoming an interesting alternative to active approaches that emulate the well-known Tuned Mass Damper in an active (or semi-active) framework. This paper reviews and compares the most important approaches, with a greater focus on the methods exploiting the concept of control theory without adding new degrees of freedom in the system. The theoretical results, with the underlying theory, are discussed to highlight the key features of each assignment techniques. Several numerical examples where different techniques are applied and compared, also providing some analysis usually neglected in the literature, enrich the paper and demonstrate the key concepts.

Whenever a tuned-mass damper is attached to a primary system, motion of the absorber body in more than one degree of freedom (DOF) relative to the primary system can be used to attenuate vibration of the primary system. In this paper, we propose that more than one mode of vibration of an absorber body relative to a primary system be tuned to suppress single-mode vibration of a primary system. We cast the problem of optimization of the multi-degree-of-freedom connection between the absorber body and primary structure as a decentralized control problem and develop optimization algorithms based on the H2 and H-infinity norms to minimize the response to random and harmonic excitations, respectively. We find that a two-DOF absorber can attain better performance than the optimal SDOF absorber, even for the case where the rotary inertia of the absorber tends to zero. With properly chosen connection locations, the two-DOF absorber achieves better vibration suppression than two separate absorbers of optimized mass distribution. A two-DOF absorber with a negative damper in one of its two connections to the primary system yields significantly better performance than absorbers with only positive dampers.

Implementation of tuned mass dampers is the commonly used approach to avoid excessive vibrations in civil engineering. However, due to the absence of the compact dimension, there are still no practical applications of the tuned mass dampers in automotive industry. Meanwhile, recent investigations showed the benefit of utilizing a tuned mass damper in a vehicle suspension in terms of driving comfort and road holding. Thus, the current investigation aimed to explore a novel compact dimension tuned mass damper, which can provide both sufficient vibration mitigation and energy harvesting. This paper presents a prototype of a back-iron-based design of an electromagnetic regenerative tuned mass damper. The mathematical model of the tuned mass damper system was developed and has been validated by the experimental results of the tuned mass damper prototype implemented in a protected mass test-bench. The indicated results concluded that the attenuation performance dramatically deteriorated under random excitations and a reduction in the root-mean-square acceleration of 18% is concluded compared to the case with undamped tuned mass damper. Under harmonic excitations, the designed tuned mass damper prototype is able to reduce the peak acceleration value of the protected structure by 79%. According to the experimental results, the designed tuned mass damper prototype revealed a peak regenerative power of 0.76 W under a harmonic excitation of 8.1 Hz frequency [Formula: see text]m amplitude. Given the simulated random road profiles from C to E, the back-iron electromagnetic tuned mass damper indicated that root-mean-square harvested power from 0.6 to 6.4 W, respectively.

<p>Due to the thin and rigid wall of aeroengine casing, it is easy to reduce the machining accuracy due to the vibration of machine tools and cutting tools. Therefore, this paper designed an auxiliary fixture that can suppress such vibration.According to the vibration absorption principle of the tuned mass damper, this fixture is designed to transfer the vibration energy of the casing to the auxiliary fixture so as to reduce the vibration of the casing itself.According to Ansysworkbench analysis, this fixture can significantly reduce the vibration of the casing.The results show that the maximum vibration amplitude of the casing is reduced by 60%, and the average vibration amplitude is also significantly reduced.The auxiliary fixture has many advantages such as simple installation, simple disassembly and installation, strong expansibility and so on.</p>

This paper presents an active microvibration isolation system using voice-coil linear motors, and pneumatic and piezoelectric actuators. This system is designed to reduce microvibration of the six degrees-of-freedom associated with the rigid body modes of the vibration isolation table by feeding back the pseudo absolute displacement and velocity of the table. To improve vibration isolation performance, a feed-forward control link is added to the sway components in each dimension. This system can also control bending modes of the table in the frequency range up to 200 Hz by employing a proposed Virtual Tuned-Mass Damper control strategy, which is a type of the pole assignment method. In this approach, the pole locations are chosen by a genetic algorithm. For ambient microvibration of the floor around 0.5 cm/s2 and for small earthquakes of around 8 cm/s2 a reduction by a factor of 100 was achieved in the acceleration of the vibration isolation table. Moreover, the vibration of the isolation table was decreased over the entire frequency range. This system also showed good vibration control performance when an impact excitation was applied directly to the table; vibration was damped out within about 0.1 sec. Additionally, the resonance amplitudes around the bending modes of the table were reduced from 1/5 to 1/15 by the Virtual Tuned-Mass Damper method.

Whenever a tuned-mass damper is attached to a primary system, there is potential for utilization of motion of the absorber body in more than one degree of freedom relative to the primary system. In this paper, we propose that more than one mode of vibration of an absorber body relative to a primary system be tuned to a single natural frequency of the primary system. We cast the problem of optimizing the multi-degree-of-freedom connection between the absorber body and primary structure as a decentralized control problem, and develop optimization algorithms based on the H2 and H-infinity norms to minimize the response to random and harmonic excitations, respectively. We find that a two-DOF absorber can attain better performance than the optimal SDOF absorber, even for the case where the rotary inertia of the absorber tends to be zero. With properly chosen connection locations, the two-DOF absorber can achieve better vibration suppression than two separate absorbers of optimized mass distribution. We also find that a two-DOF absorber with negative dampers in some of the connections to the primary system can obtain much better performance than absorbers with only positive dampers.

This study proposes a series–parallel inerter system with negative stiffness for the passive vibration control of an undamped single–degree–of–freedom system under base excitation. The necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness are established by Routh–Hurwitz criterion, and the stability boundary is obtained. The tuning parameters of the series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness are determined through fixed point theory, and a comparison between the vibration mitigation performance of series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness, series–parallel inerter system (without negative stiffness), and tuned mass damper is presented considering both harmonic excitation, transient excitation, and random (white noise) excitation. The results of this study demonstrate that under base harmonic excitation, series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness outperforms the series–parallel inerter system and tuned mass damper in terms of suppression bandwidth and reducing the peak vibration amplitude of the primary mass. In the case of base acceleration–excited primary structure, more than 49.84% and 67.53% improvement can be obtained from series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness as compared with tuned mass damper in terms of suppression bandwidth and reducing the peak vibration amplitude, respectively. Whereas in the case of base displacement–excited primary structure, more than 78% and 80% improvement can be obtained from series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness, respectively, following the same criteria. A slightly lower improvement has been obtained from series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness as compared with series–parallel inerter system, which justified the superiority of series–parallel inerter system compared to tuned mass damper. The transient response investigation showed that series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness outperforms the series–parallel inerter system and tuned mass damper in terms of much shorter stabilization times and lower peak amplitude of the primary mass. Finally, the further comparison among these devices (series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness, series–parallel inerter system, and tuned mass damper) under white noise excitation also shows that series-parallel inerter system with negative stiffness is superior to series–parallel inerter system and tuned mass damper for a small inertance mass ratio. This result could provide a theoretical basis for the design of inerter-based isolators with negative stiffness.
