Analysis of response of determinate plane mechanisms to known driving input force, or input torque, via the joint force analysis is presented. Coulomb damping and viscous damping forces in the pair bearings are included. Equations of dynamic equilibrium are solved for the components of the normal joint forces and for the motion of the mechanism as initial-value problems. The rotation of the resultant joint force, due to the fact that the pair member on a link is the inner member or the outer member of the pair, is considered by defining a generalized Coulomb damping force. Links of the mechanisms are considered rigid. The plane 4R and slider-crank switch mechanisms are investigated. Explicit solutions and numerical examples are given.

A method of gross-motion dynamic response analysis of indeterminate space mechanisms, as well as indeterminate plane mechanisms with offsets of links, to specified input forces or torques, such as in mechanisms of automated systems, mechanical robots, and switching mechanisms, is presented. The method uses joint force analysis along with the matrix displacement-direct element method. Unknown motion of the mechanism as function of time is determined by the solution of equations of gross-motion as an initial value problem. The effect of small oscillations of a link about an equilibrium position is neglected. An indeterminate plane four-bar and the indeterminate Bennett mechanisms are analyzed as switching mechanisms in the numerical examples.

This paper presents the damping characteristics of a linear magneto-rheological (MR) damper with dual controllable ducts based on numerical and experimental analysis. The novel MR damper consisting of a dual-rod cylinder system and a MR valve is used to reduce the influences of viscous damping force and improve dynamic range. Driven by the dual-rod cylinder system, MR fluid flows in the MR valve. The pressure drop of the MR valve with dual independent controllable ducts can be controlled by tuning the current of two independent coils. Based on the mathematical model and the finite element method, the damping characteristics of the MR damper is simulated. A prototype is designed and tested on MTS machine to evaluate its damping characteristics. The results show that the working states and damping force of the MR damper can be controlled by the two independent coils.

In this paper, a new viscoelastic damper design for heavy trucks is presented and a calculation formula of viscous damping force considering the effect of Viscoelastic Fluids (VF) flow rate is carried out. By numerically simulating this equation, curves of the viscoelastic damper performance curve is obtained, and the results show that theoretical calculation result and the test results are well consistent, with the exception at the start point. Theoretical curves are more plumpness in compared with test curves.

Abstract Numerical simulations of the response of a harmonically excited mass on an isolator with a cubic, hard, non-linear restoring force and combined Coulomb and viscous damping are presented. For a base-excited system, the inclusion of a Coulomb damper with a suitable break-loose frequency can suppress the secondary resonances and chaotic motion. However, for a force-excited system, the introduction of Coulomb damping does not alter the bifurcation structure. Transmissibility indices have been defined for the solution obtained by numerical integration and the role of the subharmonic resonances and chaotic motion on the performance of the system is pointed out.

Turbine composite regenerative damper is one of new type damper which can regenerate the energy of vibration. The component and principle of generator and regenerate energy for turbine composite regenerative damper is introduce, and based on hydrodynamics and axial turbine basic principle, the relationship between induced electromotive force and piston velocity ,load resistance is induced. At last, the relationship between damping force and piston velocity, load resistance is induced too. The method is meaningful to understand and instruct the design of turbine composite regenerative damper.

Abstract In this study, a latching control strategy was utilized to increase the efficiency of a heaving buoy-type point absorber with a hydraulic Power take-off (PTO) system. For this purpose, the hydrodynamic performance of a floating buoy was analyzed based on the potential flow theory and Cummins equation. Nonlinear Froude-Krylov (FK) force according to instantaneous wetted surface of a buoy was calculated by a theoretical solution. The effect of the latching control on a point absorber was evaluated by considering PTO performance with hydrodynamic coefficients including nonlinear FK force. The hydraulic PTO system was modeled as an approximate coulomb damping force.
