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.

The tuned vibration absorber (TVA) provides vibration reduction of a primary system subjected to external excitation. The idea is to increase the number of system degrees of freedom connecting a secondary system to the primary system. This procedure promotes vibration reduction at its design forcing frequency but two new resonance peaks appear introducing critical behaviors that must be avoided. The use of shape memory alloys (SMAs) can improve the performance of the classical TVA establishing an adaptive TVA (ATVA). This paper deals with the nonlinear dynamics of a passive pseudoelastic tuned vibration absorber with an SMA element. In this regard, a single degree of freedom elastic oscillator is used to represent the primary system, while an extra oscillator with an SMA element represents the secondary system. Temperature dependent behavior of the system allows one to change the system response avoiding undesirable responses. Nevertheless, hysteretic behavior introduces complex characteristics to the system dynamics. The influence of the hysteretic behavior due to stress-induced phase transformation is investigated. The ATVA performance is evaluated by analyzing primary system maximum vibration amplitudes for different forcing amplitudes and frequencies. Numerical simulations establish comparisons of the ATVA results with those obtained from the classical TVA. A parametric study is developed showing the best performance conditions and this information can be useful for design purposes.

Rotating equipment is susceptible to torsional vibrations whenever the RPM of the rotating equipment matches one of the torsional natural frequencies. For rotating equipment running at constant RPM, it is easy to control and mitigate the torsional vibrations, but in applications where the RPM is no longer a constant and varies widely or natural frequencies are changing: there is a need for a wide range vibration reduction device. In this paper, a translational adaptive electromagnetic tuned vibration absorber (ETVA) is described where its natural frequency is varied using electronics. The ETVA is modeled and its simulation results correlate very well with experimental results. Later, this concept is used to develop a torsional tuned vibration absorber (TTVA) device. The electromagnetic TTVA can be attached to rotating equipment to control torsional vibrations. The electromagnetic TTVA adapts itself and controls the torsional vibrations as and when the RPM varies. Here in this paper, the rotating equipment and the electromagnetic TTVA are modeled. Analysis results indicate that the torsional vibration of rotating equipment can be easily controlled using this newly developed electromagnetic TTVA.

Tuned Vibration Absorber (TVA) is the best solution available to control/suppress vibrations of any dynamic systems. Dual mass Tuned Vibration Absorber are designed and implemented for the vibration control. Though the slab barker machine is operating at various natural frequencies, the Dual mass TVA can be designed to mitigate the vibrations depending on the position of mass. The experiments were carried out for various locations of mass. And it is found that the vibration /shock waves of slab breaker machine are absorbed by using a passive TVA system. By keeping the operating condition same it is practically found that at the location of 4cm the optimal vibration reduction obtained and the amplitude is found to be reduced by 37 %.

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.
