Abstract Due to an increased flexibility of modern mechanical and structural systems, effective vibration control becomes essential to their high-precision operations. In this paper, dynamics and vibration control of a rotating multi-link are studied. Passive vibration control of the link with distributed viscoelastic layers is studied. Effectiveness of the distributed viscoelastic dampers with various stiffness and damping properties is investigated.

The passive vibration control is a very effective measure to gear system. But there exist some limitations. This paper viewed the development of the passive vibration control of gear system, and researched the damping characteristics of the friction dampers and viscoelastic dampers intensively. Firstly, the limitations of the existence passive damping technology are pointed out. Secondly, the feasibility and validity of piezoelectric shunt damping is guaranteed through experimentation on the gear system vibration control. Thirdly, a new hybrid damping, piezoelectric- viscoplastic material damping, is proposed, which extracts the advantages of piezoelectric shunt damping and viscoplastic damping.

This work proposes a method for controlling vibration using compliant-based actuators. The compliant actuator combines a conventional actuator with elastic elements in a series configuration. The benefits of compliant actuators for vibration control applications, demonstrated in this work, are twofold: (i) vibration reduction over a wide frequency bandwidth by passive control means and (ii) improvement of vibration control performance when active control is applied using the compliant actuator. The vibration control performance is compared with the control performance achieved using the well-known vibration absorber and conventional rigid actuator systems. The performance comparison showed that the compliant actuator provided a better flexibility in achieving vibration control over a certain frequency bandwidth. The passive and active control characteristics of the compliant actuator are investigated, which shows that the control performance is highly dependent on the compliant stiffness parameter. The active control characteristics are analyzed by using the proportional-derivative (PD) control strategy which demonstrated the capability of effectively changing the respective effective stiffness and damping of the system. These attractive dual passive–active control characteristics are therefore advantageous for achieving an effective vibration control system, particularly for controlling the vibration over a specific wide frequency bandwidth.

A model has been developed to compute the dynamic stiffness and damping properties of externally pressurized, porous-wall, gas journal bearings which includes the effects of journal rotation and eccentricity. This paper presents the derivation of the governing equations and the perturbation analysis used to find the unsteady characteristics. Typical nondimensional performance curves are found and the influences of seven governing parameters are discussed. A companion paper describes an experimental investigation of porous journal bearings.
