A hybrid proportional electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber consisting of an electromagnetic actuator and an elastic element is proposed for control of engine vibration during idling. The design of the proportional electromagnetic actuator is realized considering the geometric parameters of the core to achieve nearly constant magnetic force over a broad range of its dynamic displacement but proportional to square of the current. The dynamic characteristics of the electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber are analyzed analytically and experimentally. The effects of various geometric parameters of the actuator such as the slopes and width/height, and the air gaps on the resulting magnetic force characteristics are evaluated using a finite element model and verified experimentally. A methodology is proposed to achieve magnetic force proportional to current and consistent with the disturbance frequency. The hybrid proportional electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber is subsequently applied to a single-degree-of-freedom primary system with an acceleration feedback control algorithm for attenuation of primary system vibration in a frequency band around the typical idling vibration frequencies. The effectiveness of the hybrid proportional electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber is evaluated through simulations and laboratory experiments under harmonic excitations in the 20–30 Hz frequency range. Both the simulation and measurements show that the hybrid proportional electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber can yield effective attenuation of periodic idling vibration in the frequency range considered.

Abstract The design and optimization of a nonlinear dynamic vibration absorber based on a snap-through truss geometry is investigated. The effect of absorber's parameters on primary system (PS) vibration amplitude reduction and frequency range of operation is analyzed. Within parametric analyses of the absorber, a methodology was proposed to tune the absorber's stiffness. Results show that the nonlinear vibration absorber may be substantially more effective than its linear counterpart both in terms of vibration amplitude reduction and absorption frequency range. Possible difficulties and/or limitations caused by the nonlinearity induced by the absorber are analyzed and, for the studied case, do not diminish the advantages of the nonlinear absorber (NLAbs). The effect of absorber's damping on the vibration reduction performance was also analyzed indicating that the NLAbs outperforms its linear counterpart even for higher damping levels.

Tough, doubly cross-linked, single polymer network hydrogels with both chemical and physical cross-links display a high loss factor of the shear modulus over a broad frequency range. Physically, the high loss factor is resulting from the intensive adhesion–deadhesion activities of the physical cross-links. A high loss factor is frequently required by the optimization processes for optimal performance of a primary vibration system while adopting a dynamic vibration absorber, in particular while selecting a larger dynamic vibration absorber mass in order to avoid an excess displacement amplitude of the dynamic vibration absorber springs. The novel idea in this paper is to apply this tough polymer hydrogel as a dynamic vibration absorber spring material. To this end, a simulation model is developed while including a suitable constitutive viscoelastic material model for doubly cross-linked, single polymer network polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels with both chemical and physical cross-links. It is shown that the studied dynamic vibration absorber significantly reduces the vibrations of the primary vibration system while displaying a smooth frequency dependence over a broad frequency range, thus showing a distinguished potential for the tough hydrogels to serve as a trial material in the dynamic vibration absorbers in addition to their normal usage in tissue engineering.

Motorcycle riders are exposed to hand-transmitted vibration of the hand-arm system due to the vibration of the handle and extended exposure can result in numbness and trembling. One feasible solution to attenuate the handle vibration is by using a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA). In this work a DVA is designed and mounted on the motorcycle handle in order to reduce the vibration at the handle by transferring the vibration from the primary system handle to the secondary mass. Removal of elastomeric material at the DVA mounting locations, symmetry of secondary mass and the direction of DVA attachment influence the vibration absorption. A series of tests conducted show that the vibration on the handle is mainly induced by the engine and there is additional source of vibration from the road surface roughness. Installation of DVA at different locations on the handle resulted in various attenuation levels at different speed in the x and z directions. the attenuation level is between 59-68 % in the biodynamic x-directions for speed at 30-50 kmh-1.

In this study, the maximum amplitude magnification factor for a linear system equipped with a three-element dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is exactly minimized for a given mass ratio using a numerical approach. The frequency response curve is assumed to have two resonance peaks, and the parameters for the two springs and one viscous damper in the DVA are optimized by minimizing the resonance amplitudes. The three-element model is known to represent the dynamic characteristics of air-damped DVAs. A generalized optimality criteria approach is developed and adopted for the derivation of the simultaneous equations for this design problem. The solution of the simultaneous equations precisely equalizes the heights of the two peaks in the resonance curve and achieves a minimum amplitude magnification factor. The simultaneous equations are solvable using the standard built-in functions of numerical computing software. The performance improvement of the three-element DVA compared to the standard Voigt type is evaluated based on the equivalent mass ratios. This performance evaluation is highly accurate and reliable because of the precise formulation of the optimization problem. Thus, the advantages of the three-element type DVA have been made clearer.

The rail between two adjacent fasteners is regarded as the research object, and the rail is simplified as the main vibration system of undamped single degree of freedom, which supports the elastic components. The dynamic vibration absorber is simplified as a spring and damped system of 3-DOF(three degrees of freedom), to establish a mathematical model of rail dynamic vibration absorber. Through relevant theories, the parameter values of dynamic vibration absorber can be deduced when it achieves the best absorption effect. In accordance with the parameters, the scantlings of the structure of the dynamic vibration absorber can also be designed. Through the finite element software, the finite element model CRTS _ Ballastless Track system is established; with consideration of the value of irregularity, we load it variously. Analysis results showed that: compared to the rail and track where the dynamic vibration absorber is not installed, the maximum vertical displacement of the rail and track where a dynamic vibration absorber is installed was reduced by 65% and 67% respectively, the maximum vertical acceleration decreased by 75% and 70% and around, which reveals that the rail dynamic vibration absorber has a good vibration-reducing effect.

Abstract This paper addresses the optimal design of a novel nontraditional inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber (NTIDVA) installed on an undamped primary system of single degree-of-freedom under harmonic and transient excitations. Our NTIDVA is based on the traditional dynamic vibration absorber (TDVA) with the damper replaced by a grounded inerter-based mechanical network. Closed-form expressions of optimal parameters of NTIDVA are derived according to an extended version of fixed point theory developed in the literature and the stability maximization criterion. The transient response of the primary system is optimized when the coupled system becomes defective, namely having three pairs of coalesced conjugate poles, the proof of which is also spelt out in this paper. Moreover, the analogous relationship between NTIDVA and electromagnetic dynamic vibration absorber is highlighted, facilitating the practical implementation of the proposed absorber. Finally, numerical studies suggest that compared with TDVA, NTIDVA can decrease the peak vibration amplitude of the primary system and enlarge the frequency bandwidth of vibration suppression when optimized by the extended fixed point technique, while the stability maximization criterion shows an improved transient response in terms of larger modal damping ratio and accelerated attenuation rate.

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.
