Theoretical Analyses

Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorber (CPVA) has been used as a torsional vibration suppression device. Recently, downsizing turbotechnology is widespread and it causes a torsional vibration in the drivetrains of automobiles, and CPVA is used for torsional vibration suppression. In such cases of vibration suppression of the drive-train shaft, it should be modeled as a multi degrees-of-freedom system and considered the suppression of its multiple modes. However, most of researches on CPVA so far have focused on a one degree-of-freedom system, and the vibration analysis and its suppression of the torsional vibration caused in the multi degrees-of-freedom system has been hardly investigated. In this paper, the dynamical characteristic of torsional vibration of the multi degrees-of-freedom system with CPVAs is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Vibration suppression mechanism of CPVA on the torsional vibration of the multi degrees-of-freedom system is studied by the eigenvalue analysis. The vibration suppression effect of CPVA on the harmonic resonances, and the occurrence of superharmonic resonances in multiple modes are observed by the numerical simulation. Then, nonlinear theoretical analyses of harmonic resonances and superharmonic resonances are performed and the vibration suppression effects of CPVA are explained. These obtained theoretical results are confirmed by experiments.

Driving Torque

Driving torque of rotating machinery, such as automobile engines, changes periodically. As a result, torsional vibrations occur and cause serious noise and vibration problems. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers restraining torsional vibration is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical analysis, the nonlinear characteristics are taken into consideration under the assumption of large amplitude vibration of pendulum. It is clarified that the centrifugal pendulum, although it has remarkable effects on suppressing harmonic vibration, induces large amplitude harmonic vibrations, the second and third superharmonic resonances, and unstable vibrations of harmonic type. We propose various methods to suppress these secondarily induced vibration and show that it is possible to suppress torsional vibrations to substancially zero amplitude in all through the rotational speed range.

The Difference

Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVA) have been used for a long time as a method to suppress torsional vibration. Recently, roller type CPVA, that has a similar characteristic but simpler structure, have been investigated and started to be used in some automobile engines. However, only the linear dynamical characteristics of the roller type CPVA have been focused, and the influence of the nonlinearity affecting on vibration suppression has not been clarified. This study mainly focuses on the explanation of nonlinear dynamical characteristics of roller type CPVA. Especially, it clarifies the importance of consideration of nonlinearity in the design of the roller type CPVA, both theoretically and experimentally. Furthermore, the difference between the pendulum type CPVA and roller type CPVA are discussed from the viewpoint of the effect of vibration suppression.

Abstract The torsional vibration hinders the reduction of automobile exhaust gas emitted by using engines with a reduced number of cylinders. Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVA) have been used in engines to suppress torsional vibration. To clarify the dynamics of CPVAs, much analysis has been conducted using the point mass CPVA as the model of rigid body bifilar CPVA. However, few attempts have been made to analyze the rigid body unifilar CPVA on vibration suppression performance in frequency response. In this study, the authors have analyzed the dynamics of the rigid body unifilar CPVA, focusing on the influence of shape parameters. The results verified that the shape parameters, which relating to moment of inertia or radius of gyration of rigid body unifilar CPVA, influence the vibration suppression performance in frequency response. Moreover, the numerical simulation results were confirmed experimentally and showed in good agreement with the experimental results, and both indicated the dependence of the vibration suppression performance on the shape parameters of the rigid body unifilar CPVA.

Large Amplitude Motion

Centrifugal pendulums have been used for many years to limit the torsional vibration of reciprocating engines. Recently small pendulums, designed to swing through amplitudes of about 45 deg, have been tested for lightweight aircraft engines. These have not functioned properly, and have been found to swing through much larger angles than expected, damaging the stops limiting motion of the pendulum counterweight. This paper investigates the large-amplitude motion of centrifugal-pendulum vibration absorbers.

Design Requirements

For over 60 years, the torsional vibration of reciprocating aircraft engines has been controlled by centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers. Loose weights attached to an engine's crankshaft act as tuned-mass absorbers by oscillating at a frequency in proportion to rotational speed. More recently, similar loose masses have been attached to the flywheels of automobile engines. The need to achieve increased power from fewer cylinders, while reducing weight and improving economy, has exacerbated torsional vibration of the drive train. The dynamics of a wheel carrying many centrifugal pendulums of bifilar design has been the subject of a growing literature, but much less has been written about roller-type pendulums and about overall system performance. This paper is a new analysis of bifilar and roller systems and their design requirements. The current state of knowledge about practical design limitations is explained and the need for further research discussed.
