Abstract Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), as a field-dependent smart material, has been widely applied on base isolation for vibration reduction. However, the MRE isolation system often experiences large drift during strong earthquake, which may cause mechanical failure. Additionally, its performance among low frequency range is still limited. To tackle these problems, this paper proposes a hybrid vibration isolation system which is composed of four stiffness softening MRE isolators and a passive ball-screw inerter. A simulation was developed to prove the effectiveness of the hybrid isolation system before the earthquake tests. A scaled three-storey building was developed based on the scaling laws as the isolated objective in earthquake experiments. Besides, a linear quadratic regulation (LQR) controller was utilised to control the mechanical properties of the hybrid MRE isolation system. Finally, the evaluation experiments of the building under a scaled Kobe earthquake excitation were conducted. The experimental results show that the simulation and the experimental results were in agreement, validating that the hybrid isolation system could provide a better vibration mitigation performance, in the meanwhile, reduce the displacement amplitude of the isolation system.

The wide application of the ball-screw inerter for vibration isolation has made it increasingly important to precisely determine the vibration transmissibility of the isolation system. In this reported work, the transmissibility of a vibration isolation system containing an inerter was predicted by using a complex mass M* in the calculations. The reported theoretical analysis showed that in the design of the type II inerter-spring-damper and inerter-rubber vibration isolation systems, the inertance-mass ratio must be less than twice the damping ratio to achieve improved vibration isolation performance when designing the system. To validate the findings, experimental tests were conducted on the type II inerter-spring-damper and inerter-rubber vibration isolation systems with ball-screw inerter. The experimental results showed that, based on M*, the transmissibility of these two systems was close to the experimental results, which illustrated the rationale for using M*. The results of this reported study will help facilitate the parameter design and performance analysis of a vibration isolation system with an inerter.

Hybrid Isolation

For preventing the fragile optical communication devices from malfunction caused by the low-frequency seismic excitation, a novel three-dimensional hybrid isolation platform is proposed in this paper. To isolate the horizontal and vertical vibrations simultaneously, the platform is designed as a combination of a rolling isolation system and four three-parameter isolators with active damping. By deriving the governing equations of the three-parameter isolators and the profile of the concave rolling surface, the dynamic model of the whole platform is constructed. Numerical results indicate that the isolation platform has an effective suppression of the horizontal and vertical vibrations. To verify the isolation performance of the hybrid isolation platform, an experiment is conducted in the targeting frequency range. Compared to the amplification factor of 6.2 dB of the three-parameter isolator, the test results exhibit that the hybrid isolation shows no amplification effect in the vertical direction, and the root mean square value of acceleration responses can be decreased by more than 65% in the frequency range of 0–32 Hz. In the horizontal direction, the reduction of the root mean square value of acceleration responses is up to 85% in the same frequency range.

Isolation system of the heat water pumps can be simplified as a double sources exciting and double output double-deck vibration isolation system model, expressions of transmitted power flow and vibration speed to the basement are deduced based on the double sources exciting and double output double-deck vibration isolation system electric-force(E-F) analog picture, the curves of power flow and vibration speed transmitted to basement how the upper deck vibration isolation and intermediate mass effect are drawn by using mat lab program. The results show that the adjusting the upper deck vibration isolation stiffness parameters has little effect on the amplitude of vibration power flow, increasing intermediate mass can move first peak to the low frequency, increasing intermediate mass can obviously reduce t transmitted power flow and transmitted vibration speed amplitude to the basement.

The paper considers a vibration isolation system, in which a force is applied to the moving mass of the active dynamic vibration damper by an actuator in proportion to the measured value of the base response. The amplitude-frequency and impulse characteristics are plotted depending on the parameters of the system, assuming the actuator without distortion generates the force proportional to the base response. It is shown that the considered vibration isolation system is quite effective in the low-frequency region, including in the resonance region of the passive system, both in stationary and nonstationary modes of vibroactive forces

Smart Base Isolation

This article presents a new approach for designing effective smart base isolation systems composed of a low-damping linear base isolation and a semi-active magneto-rheological damper. The method is based on transforming the design procedure of the hybrid base isolation system into a constrained optimization problem. The magneto-rheological damper command voltages have been determined using H2/linear quadratic Gaussian and clipped-optimal control algorithms. Through a sensitivity analysis to identify the effective design parameters, base isolation and control algorithm parameters have been taken as design variables and optimally determined using genetic algorithm. To restrict increases in floor accelerations, the objective function of the optimization problem has been defined as minimizing the maximum base drift while putting specific constraint on the acceleration response. For illustration, the proposed method has been applied to design a semi-active hybrid isolation system for a four-story shear building under earthquake excitation. The results of numerical simulations show the effectiveness, simplicity, and capability of the proposed method. Furthermore, it has been shown that using the proposed method, the acceleration of the isolated structure can also be incorporated into design process and practically controlled with a slight sacrifice of control effectiveness in reducing the base drift.

Base Isolation System

Reduction of seismic response of mechanical system is important problem for aseismic design. Some types of base isolation systems are developed and used in actual base of buildings and floors in buildings for reduction of seismic response of mechanincal system. In this paper, a base isolation system utilizing bearing with friction and restoring force of bearing is proposed. Friction bearing consists of two plates having spherical concaves and oval type metal or spherical metal with rubber. First, effectiveness of the base isolation system is examined experimentally. Using artificial time histories, the isolated table is shaken on the shaking table. The maximum value of response is reduced and sum of squares of response is significantly reduced. Power spectrum is significantly reduced in almost of all frequency regions, except for very low frequency region. Next, in order to examine reduction of seismic response of actual mechanical system, a console rack is set on the isolated plate. Seismic response is also significantly reduced. Finally, obtained results of experiment are examined by simulation method. An analytical model considering friction and restoring force is used. From simulation method, effectiveness of the proposed base isolation system is demonstrated.
