Machinery can suffer from mechanical vibrations since resonance may be generated from time-varying external excitations under different operation conditions. These detrimental vibrations may significantly influence the device's performance, effectiveness and reliability in operation. In this paper, an innovative, simple and high-efficiency tuned vibration absorber (TVA) consisting of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires, which is referred to a wire-type tuned vibration absorber (WTVA), is proposed to reduce the induced vibration. Experiments are carried out using a six-degree-of-freedom platform which is designed to simulate the frame of precision machinery in practical applications. With the equivalent stiffness of SMA wires adjusted by the controlled electric current, the frequency tunability of WTVA can be achieved. When the natural frequency of WTVA tuned in with the disturbance frequency, the experimental results demonstrate that the efficiency in vibration reduction of the platform is drastically increased even with considerable weight difference between WTVA and the platform. Moreover, the tunable frequency span also increases greatly due to the new design of WTVA and the material characteristics of SMA wires.

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.

Abstract This paper presents a stability analysis of a continuously controlled adaptive tuned vibration absorber (ATVA) incorporating shape memory alloy (SMA) structural elements to realize attenuation of the vibration of a primary system subject to uncertain tonal excitation. The objective is for the SMA ATVA stiffness to be adapted such that a relative phase angle of −90° is achieved between the vibration of the SMA ATVA and the primary mass. The Lyapunov-based stability analysis indicates that the system is stable under proportional-plus-integral control across the operating range of the SMA ATVA when an integral reset is included in the control algorithm. The integral reset also substantially improves the performance of the system when compared to the original PI controller without reset.
