Vibration suppression of railway bridges using nonlinear energy sink systems (NES) is studied in this paper. Train is modeled as a set of successive moving loads traveling on an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Energy sink as a new passive control strategy is employed as the suppression system. Galerkin method here is adopted as the solution technique. Within a parametric study, series of numerical simulations are carried out and performance of the passive control system is investigated. It is numerically found that an appropriately designed NES can passively reduce the displacement of the bridge up to 43%.

Good Agreement

Using nonlinear energy sink absorber (NESA) is a good countermeasure for vibration suppression in wide board frequency region. The nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) are helpful in dynamics analysis for a NESA-attached system. Being a primary structure, a cantilever beam whose modal functions contain hyperbolic functions is surveyed, in case of being attached with NESA and subjected to a harmonic excitation. With the help of Galerkins method and Raushers method, the NNMs are obtained analytically. The comparison of analytical and numerical results indicates a good agreement, which confirms the existence of the nonlinear normal modes.

Abstract In this paper, a non-traditional variant nonlinear energy sink (NES) is developed for simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting in a broad frequency band. The non-traditional variant NES consists of a cantilever beam attached by a pair of magnets at its free end, a pair of the so-called continuous-contact blocks, and a pair of coils. The beam is placed between the continuous-contact blocks. The constraint of the continuous-contact blocks forces the beam to deflect nonlinearly. Each of the magnet-coil pairs forms an electromagnetic energy harvester. Different from a traditional way that attaches the coils to the primary mass, the developed setup has the coils fixed to the base. First, the developed apparatus is described. Subsequently, the system modeling and parameter identification are addressed. The performance of the apparatus under transient responses is examined by using computer simulation. The results show that the proposed apparatus behaves similarly as the NES with the following features: 1:1 resonance, targeted energy transfer, initial energy dependence, etc.

Abstract Nonlinear energy sink (NES) refers to a typical passive vibration device connected to linear or weakly nonlinear structures for vibration absorption and mitigation. This study investigates the dynamics of 1-dof and 2-dof NES with nonlinear damping and combined stiffness connected to a linear oscillator. For the system of 1-dof NES, a truncation damping and failure frequency are revealed through bifurcation analysis using the complex variable averaging method. The frequency detuning interval for the existence of the strongly modulated response (SMR) is also reported . For the system of 2-dof NES, it is reported in a similar bifurcation analysis that the mass distribution between NES affects the maximum value of saddle-node bifurcation. To obtain the periodic solution of the 2-dof NES system with the consideration of frequency detuning, the incremental harmonic balance method (IHB) and Floquet theory are employed. The corresponding response regime is obtained by Poincare mapping, it shows that the responses of the linear oscillator and 2-dof NES are not always consistent, and 2-dof NES can generate extra SMR than 1-dof NES. Finally, the vibration suppression effect of the proposed NES with nonlinear damping and combined stiffness is analyzed and verified by the energy spectrum, and it also shows that the 2-dof NES system demonstrates better performance.

In this work, design and performance analysis of a nonlinear energy sink, attached to a beam (the primary system) with different support conditions, will be investigated. Here, the effects of both beam properties and external shock excitation are studied. For this purpose, equations of motion are derived by the Lagrange method. Then, parameters of the nonlinear energy sink are optimized by both sensitivity analysis and particle swarm optimization method. The results show that, increasing the first natural frequency of the primary system, on which an external impulse is imposed, will postpone the nonlinear energy sink activation. Also, increasing the amplitude of the shock excitation will tend to decrease the optimum value of the nonlinear energy sink stiffness. Using the particle swarm optimization method to obtain the optimized parameters of the nonlinear energy sink and its interaction with the primary system, which is a continuous one, is a new research area presented in this work.
