The present study on vibration reduction in systems wherein the excitation frequency is variable designed and fabricated a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)-based tunable dynamic vibration absorber and evaluated its performance in an experimental manner. The design of an MRE-based adaptive tuned dynamic vibration absorber (ATDVA) involves designing two parts: stiffness and mass. Before designing the MRE-based ATDVA, this study determined the resonance frequency of a target object for vibration reduction. For the design of the ATDVA’s stiffness part, the thickness of specimens was determined by measuring the rate of variation of the MRE’s shear modulus with respect to the MRE’s thickness. The design of the mass part was optimized using sensitivity analysis and genetic algorithms after the derivation of formulas for its magnetic field and mass. Further, upon the application of an electric current to the MRE, its stiffness was measured so that the stiffness of the designed MRE-based ATDVA could be tuned accordingly. Finally, the vibration-reducing performance of the MRE-based ATDVA was evaluated to determine the applicability of the vibration absorber under the condition of variable-frequency excitation.

The combination of dynamic vibration absorber and partial state feedback with time-delay is called delayed resonator. In order to suppress the seat vibration caused by uneven road surface and improve ride comfort, the delayed resonator is applied to the seat suspension to realize active control of the seat suspension system. The dynamic model of the half-vehicle suspension system is established, and the time-delay differential equation of the system under external excitation is solved by the precise integration method. The root mean square of the time-domain vibration response of seat displacement, seat acceleration and vehicle acceleration are selected as the objective function. Then, the optimal time-delay control parameters are obtained by particle swarm optimization algorithm. The frequency sweeping method is used to obtain the critical time-delay value and time-delay stable interval of the system. Finally, an active seat suspension model with delayed resonator is established for numerical simulation. The results show that the delayed resonator can greatly suppress the seat vibration response regardless of the road simple harmonic excitation or random excitation. Compared with dynamic vibration absorber, it has a better vibration absorption effect and a wider vibration reduction frequency band.

Vibration is one of the problems that must be reduced in a vehicle. There are many ways to reduce vibration in vehicles, one of them is by adding Dynamic vibration absorber (DVA). While Dual Dynamic vibration absorber (dDVA) is a DVA period that is able to move in the translational direction given to the system to reduce translation vibration and when there is resonance. Translation DVA is an additional type of time used to reduce the vibration of the translation direction. So far there is not much research related to the use of translational DVA to reduce rotational vibrations as well as translation. In this study, a study was conducted related to the use of independent double translational DVA (dDVA) to reduce translation vibrations as well as rotation of the beam. The research was conducted by modeling the system obtained into mathematical equations and simulations were carried out to determine the characteristics of vibrations that arise. In the simulation, one of the DVA periods is placed at the center of the main system period, while the other DVA period is given a change between the center period and the end of the system. The results of the study show that the maximum reduction in translational vibration is 95.51% and occurs when the absorber is placed at the center of the system, while the maximum rotation vibration reduction is 56.62% and is obtained when the system is given with an arm ratio of 1 and zero.

Magnetorheological elastomer is a new kind of intelligent material that mainly incorporates micron-sized ferromagnetic particles into a polymer. A dynamic vibration absorber that is based on the controllable shear modulus of magnetorheological elastomer is widely used in vibration systems. In the study, a flexible carbody model with a magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is established. A design method of a semiactive dynamic vibration absorber that is based on magnetorheological elastomer is introduced, and the operational principle of the semiactive dynamic vibration absorber is also discussed. To improve the vibration absorption performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber, via multiple regression analysis, the optimal design frequency expressions for both the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration of the carbody are fitted. Parameter determination for the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is investigated in detail. Then, the effects on the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration with the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber both with the passive vibration absorber and without a vibration absorber are analyzed. Finally, Sperling’s riding index is used to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber in a practical application. The results demonstrate that the vibration of the carbody can be effectively reduced by using the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber instead of the dynamic vibration absorber without the magnetorheological elastomer. The magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber that is modified by the optimum frequency provides superior vibration reduction performance and improves the riding quality of the railway vehicle.

Abstract To improve vibration reduction effect in low-frequency band of dynamic vibration absorber (DVA), a novel type of articulated silicone gel column (SGC) is introduced in the design of the tuned dynamic vibration absorber. The nonlinear variation of frequency of SGC with varying geometry is obtained by both finite element simulation and experiments. The most sensitive mode is located, which has wider frequency range by varying the geometry. The polynomial fitting is used to describe nonlinear relation between frequency and geometry. By tuning the geometry, the equivalent stiffness and then resonance frequencies can be manipulated to behave as an active vibration absorber. The vibration reduction experiment of SGC vibration absorbers is investigated. It is found that SGC has better vibration reduction effect in low-frequency band. The experimental results in the current design demonstrate that the vibration reduction effect can reach 94.03% when tuning SCG to the first order main resonance. The dimensions and material parameters of SGC should be altered for specific frequency range and vibration strength.

This article proposes and validates the principle of a new magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) for powertrain mount systems of automobiles. The MRE DVA consists of a vibration absorption unit and a passive vibration isolation unit. The vibration absorption unit composed of a magnetic conductor, a shearing sleeve, a bobbin core, an electromagnetic coil, and a circular cylindrical MRE is utilized to absorb the vibration energy, and the passive vibration isolation unit is used to support the powertrain. The finite element method is employed to validate the electromagnetic circuit of the MRE DVA and obtain the electromagnetic characteristics. The theoretical frequency-shift principle is analyzed via the established constitutive equations of the circular cylindrical MRE In order to demonstrate how the parameters of the MRE influence the vibration attenuation performance, the MRE DVA is applied to a powertrain mount system to replace the conventional passive mount. The frequency-shift property of the vibration absorption unit and the vibration attenuation performance of the MRE DVA on the powertrain mount system are experimentally tested. To validate and improve the vibration attenuation performance for the semi-active powertrain mount systems, an optimal variable step algorithm is proposed for the MRE DVA and numerical experiments are carried out.
