This paper presents a preliminary study of the dynamic performance of a novel light-weight auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio) cellular vibration isolation base constituted by reentrant hexagonal honeycombs. Numerical and experimental analyses were conducted to reveal the effects of Poisson’s ratio (cell angle) and relative density (cell thickness) of these reentrant honeycombs on the dynamic performance of this novel base and to propose design guidelines for the best use of the auxetic cellular vibration isolation system. By doing numerical analysis, we found that, by decreasing the relative density of reentrant honeycombs and increasing Poisson’s ratio of them, excellent vibration isolation performance of the auxetic cellular base will be achieved. This analysis was followed by static, modal, and frequency response tests, which verified the results of the numerical analysis.

Vibration Isolation Performance

The vibration isolation system using a pair of oblique springs or a spring-rod mechanism as a negative stiffness mechanism exhibits a high-static low-dynamic stiffness characteristic and a nonlinear jump phenomenon when the system damping is light and the excitation amplitude is large. It is possible to remove the jump via adjusting the end trajectories of the above springs or rods. To realize this idea, the article presents a vibration isolation system with a cam–roller–spring–rod mechanism and gives the detailed numerical and experimental studies on the effects of the above mechanism on the vibration isolation performance. The comparative studies demonstrate that the vibration isolation system proposed works well and outperforms some other vibration isolation systems.

The paper notes that the structure of the wire rope is one of the most suitable materials used as a fire-resistant elastic element of vibration-insulating structures and fasteners (vibration isolators). To solve the problems of vibration isolation of marine diesel power plants in the framework of development and improvement of the shock absorption system, the original patented elastic supports with elastic elements made of steel wire rope in the form of a torus are presented. When commercially available vibration isolators do not meet the relevant requirements of vibration protection of a particular object, the solution to the existing problem can be achieved by using the proposed wire rope vibration isolators. The technical results of the original patented inventions are: - equal stiffness in the horizontal plane - ensuring the reliability and high vibration efficiency of protection against impacts and shocks. The proposed designs of vibration isolators are easy (technological in manufacturing) to manufacture and assemble, reliable and durable - the service life is 10 years or more. Vibration efficiency is confirmed by the vibration acceleration spectra before and after the vibration isolator of the damping system of the ship diesel-generator DGA-500 and the diesel unit with a 2H 8.5/11 engine and water brake on a common sub-frame. The three-year trial life of the DGA-500 and experimental studies on a diesel unit with a 2H 8.5/11 engine and water brake on a common sub-frame confirms their efficiency and effectiveness.

Model Approach

A novel cellular mechanical metamaterial called Fish Cells that exhibits zero Poisson’s ratio in both orthogonal in-plane directions is proposed. Homogenization study on the Fish Cells tessellation is conducted and substantially zero Poisson’s ratio behavior in a homogenized tessellation is shown by numerical analysis. Experimental investigations are performed to validate the zero Poisson’s ratio feature of the metamaterial and obtain force–displacement response of the metamaterial in elastic and plastic zone. A detailed discussion about the effect of the numerical model approach and joints on the structural response of the metamaterial is presented. Morphing skin is a potential application for Fish Cells metamaterial because of the integration benefits of zero Poisson’s ratio design. The structural integrity of the Fish Cells is investigated by studying the stiffness augmentation under tension and in presence of constraints on transverse edges. Finally, geometrical enhancements for improved integrity of the Fish Cells are presented that result in substantially zero stiffness augmentation required for morphing skins.

This article aims at modeling, analysis and design of a passive vibration isolation system using a magnetic damper with high efficiency and compactness. The experimental set-up was developed for a single degree-of-freedom vibration isolation system, where the damper consists of two elements: an outer stationary conducting tube made up of copper and a moving core made up of an array of three ring-shaped neodymium magnets of Nd–Fe–B alloy separated by four block cylinders made of mild steel that are fixed to a steel rod. The generation of eddy currents in the conductor and its resistance causes the mechanical vibration to dissipate heat energy. The vibration response of the system is obtained starting from a low-frequency range. The proposed magnetic damper achieves a maximum transmissibility value less than two for a natural frequency that is less than 10 Hz and the excitations at higher frequencies are successfully isolated. Numerical and experimental studies were carried out for a range of system parameters which show that isolators based on magnetic damping could be very effective for passive vibration isolation. Further, a theoretical model for an active isolation system is proposed in order to reduce the transmissibility at resonance. It is envisaged that the combined active–passive eddy current damper could be effectively used for vibration isolation.

Working Principle

In this paper, the problem of Electrorheological(ER) technology's application in the vibration isolation system is empirically studied. Based on the particular characteristics of the Electrorheological Fluids (ERF) tunable damping, a metal-spring ER isolator was designed and its working principle is mainly discussed. By theoretical analysis of its simplified physical model, the dynamic response of an ER isolator is frequency- and amplitude- dependent and sensitive to structural parameters. The controllable parameters here can be the system equivalent spring stiffness K and damping coefficient C of ERF. With experiment, the exertion of ER effect was controlled through the change of K and C. Consequently, the system dynamic stiffness, which is used to describe the dynamic properties of system isolation performance, can be changed obviously. According to the dynamic performance tests, the result confirmed that applying different electric field strength could change the dynamic peculiarity of the metal-spring ER isolator. The configuration design of the ER equipment, such as stiffness ratio of two fluid chambers and the size of the electric field, which are important factors for the tunable range of ER isolator.

В статье приведены результаты экспериментальных исследований коэффициента бокового давления в условиях компрессии и деформационных характеристик Е и ν (модуль общей деформации и коэффициент Пуассона). По существующим методикам расчета осадок оснований, коэффициент Пуассона рекомендуется принимать постоянным в зависимости от вида грунта. Неточность такого подхода иллюстрируется проведенными авторами исследованиями по определению коэффициента бокового давления, который зависит от физических свойств (плотности, влажности, гранулометрического состава и др.) и начального напряженного состояния грунта. Показано влияние способа определения коэффициента бокового давления и соответственно коэффициента Пуассона при расчете деформационных свойств грунтов и границы применения обобщенного закона Гука. В реальных условиях, распределение напряжений от внешней нагрузки и сжатие по центральной оси близко к условиям компрессии, но общий процесс деформирования основания обусловлен как боковыми так и вертикальными деформациями, которые характеризуются коэффициентом поперечного расширения ν. The article presents the results of experimental studies of the lateral pressure coefficient under compression and deformation characteristics E and ν (modulus of total deformation and Poisson's ratio). According to the existing methods for calculating the settlement of foundations, it is recommended to take Poisson's ratio constant depending on the type of soil. The inaccuracy of this approach is illustrated by the studies carried out by the authors to determine the lateral pressure coefficient, which depends on the physical properties (density, moisture, particle size distribution, etc.) and the initial stress state of the soil. The influence of the method for determining the lateral pressure coefficient and, accordingly, Poisson's ratio in calculating the deformation properties of soils and the limits of application of the generalized Hooke's law is shown.In real conditions, the distribution of stresses from an external load and compression along the central axis is close to the compression conditions, but the general process of deformation of the base is caused by both lateral and vertical deformations, which are characterized by the coefficient of transverse expansion ν.

Polymeric Structures

Auxetic materials, known as materials with negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR), have many promising application areas. However, there are only few natural and man-made materials such as certain living bone tissues, certain rocks and minerals, polymeric honeycombs, microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), foams, and carbon-fiber-reinforced epoxy composite laminate panels that possess this property. In recent years, various auxetic material structures have been designed and fabricated for diverse applications that utilized normal materials which follow Hooke’s law but still show the NPR properties. One of the applications is body protection pads that are comfortable to wear and effective in protecting body parts by reducing impact force and preventing injuries in high-risk individuals such as elderly people, industry workers, law enforcement and military personnel, and sports players. It is important to develop new body protectors that best combine each individual’s requirements for wearing comfort (flexible, light-weight), ease of fitting (customized), ensured protection, and cost-effectiveness. The protection pad would be made from multilayer materials and adaptive structures to achieve unique multifunctional properties such as high hardness, impact toughness, light weight, and excellent shock absorption suitable for the needs. This paper reports an integrated theoretical, computational (finite element analysis), and experimental investigation conducted for typical auxetic polymeric materials that exhibit negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) effect. Parametric 3D CAD models of auxetic polymeric structures such as re-entrant hexagonal cells and arrowhead were developed. Then, key structural characteristics of protectors were evaluated through static analyses of FEA models. In addition, impact/shock analyses were conducted through dynamic analyses of FEA models to validate the results obtained from the static analyses. Particularly, an advanced additive manufacturing (3D printing) technique was used to build prototypes of the auxetic polymeric structures. Specifically, three different materials typically used for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology such as Polylactic acid (PLA) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material (NinjaFlex® and SemiFlex®) were used for different stiffness and shock-absorption performances. The 3D printed prototypes were then tested and the results were compared with the computational prediction. The results showed that the auxetic material can be effective for body protection pads. Each structure and material had unique structural properties such as stiffness, Poisson’s ratio, and efficiency in shock absorption. Particularly, auxtetic structures showed better shock absorption performance than non-auxetic ones. The mechanism for ideal input force distribution or shunting could be suggested for designing protectors using various shapes, thicknesses, and materials of auxetic materials to reduce the risk of injury.
