Vibration Attenuation Performance

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.

The principle of a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is proposed and the corresponding configuration is designed in this paper. The MRE DVA is composed of a vibration absorbing unit and a passive vibration isolation unit. The vibration absorbing unit can be utilized to mitigate the kinetic energy acting on the primary system (i.e., the system of which the vibration will be mitigated) and the passive vibration isolation unit utilized to support the primary system. The vibration absorbing unit consists of magnetic conductor, shearing sleeve, bobbin core, electromagnetic coil winding, and vulcanized MRE between the shearing sleeve and the bobbin core. The magnetic field produced by the electromagnetic coil winding starts from the bobbin core, and passes through the magnetic conductor and the shearing sleeve, then goes through the MRE and forms a closed loop. The shear storage modulus of the MRE could be tuned continuously by varying the applied current, which results in natural frequency shift of the MRE DVA. The optimal parameters of the electromagnetic circuit of the MRE DVA are calculated based on Kirchoff’s law. The finite element method is employed to validate the electromagnetic circuit of the MRE DVA and to obtain the corresponding electromagnetic characteristics. The mathematical model of the MRE DVA is also derived. In order to analyze how the parameters of the MRE DVA influence the effectiveness of the vibration control and to validate the flexibility of the control systems, the MRE DVA is employed in a powertrain mount system to replace the conventional passive mount. A single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) dynamic model for the semi-active powertrain mount system is established. A varied step optimum algorithm is adopted to realize the vibration control of the powertrain mount system based on the MRE DVA.

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.

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 cases where the natural frequencies of vibrations of a vehicle system are closed to the excitation frequencies from the road surface, dynamic vibration absorber provides the vibration isolation by shifting the resonant frequencies of the system. In the present work, the performance of a dynamic vibration absorber is evaluated with two degrees of freedom quarter car model of a road vehicle system when excited with deterministic inputs. The transmissibility of vibrations from the track to the sprung mass, the transfer function of sprung mass acceleration, the transfer function of suspension deflection and the transfer function of tire deflection is determined.
