This study is concerned with the problem of analysis and optimization of inerter-based systems. A main inerter system is generally composed of an inerter, a spring, and viscous damper. Series – parallel inerter system s and series inerter system s are two commonly used configurations of inerter-based system s . First , in this study , the H∞ optimum parameters of inerter-based isolators are derived to minimize the compliance and mobility transfer function of a single-degree -of-freedom system under a harmonic ground acceleration excitation. Under the optimum tuning condition, it is shown that the proposed inerter-based isolators when compared with the traditional dynamic vibration absorber provide larger suppression of the peak value of the magnitude of compliance and mobility transfer function s of the primary system. For the studied cases, more than 40% and 45% improvement can be attained in terms of minimizing the compliance and mobility transfer function s , respectively, as compared with the traditional dynamic vibration absorber for the series – parallel inerter system and 15% and 11% improvement can be attained respectively , for the series inerter system . Finally, further comparison between the inerter-based isolators and traditional dynamic vibration absorber under white noise excitation also shows that the series – parallel inerter system and series inerter system s are superior to the traditional dynamic vibration absorber . The results of the studied systems show that m ore than 23% and 16% improvement are attained in terms of minimizing the compliance and mobility transfer function s respectively , as compared with the traditional dynamic vibration absorber for the series – parallel inerter system and 26% and 13% improvement can be attained respectively , for the series inerter system . The optimal parameters for different cases are obtained. It is shown that the optimal parameters obtained using the minimized mobility transfer function are smaller than those using the compliance transfer function at all mass ratios or inertance-to-mass ratio. The results of this study can provide theoretical basis for design of the optimal inerter-based isolators in engineering practice.

Dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) with large auxiliary mass has better control performance, but it is also more bulky. Therefore, the mass ratio (the ratio of auxiliary mass of DVA to mass of controlled object) is usually limited to make the DVA easy to install and suitable for engineering practice. In this paper a grounded type DVA with lever component is proposed, which aims to increase the effective mass and reduce unnecessary mass to improve control performance of the DVA. Firstly, the motion differential equations of the DVA are established and solved. Secondly, the optimum parameters are obtained based on H∞ and H2 optimization criterion. Then, the performances of the grounded type DVA equipped with and without the lever are investigated. Finally, the control performance of the DVA is compared with other three typical DVAs under H∞ and H2 criterion. In this type DVA there are no global optimum parameters, and larger frequency ratio will get better control performance. If the amplification ratio (the ratio of lever power arm to lever resistance arm) is greater than 1, the introduced lever will contribute to control performance of the DVA. Its control performance is better than those of other three typical DVAs. The use of the lever can increase the effective mass of the DVA, thereby improving the control performance of the DVA. The DVA can achieve good performance at small mass ratio by adjusting amplification ratio, which may provide theoretical basis for the design of new kinds of DVAs.

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.

Dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is a simple and effective device for vibration absorption used in many practical applications. Determination of suitable parameters for DVA is of significant importance to achieve high vibration reduction effectiveness. This paper presents a   method to find the optimal parameters of a DVA attached to a linear damped rotary system excited by harmonic torque. To this end, a closed-form formula for the optimum tuning parameter is derived using the fixed-point theory based on an assumption that the damped rotary systems are lightly or moderately damped. The optimal damping ratio of DVA is found by solving a set of non-linear equations established by the Chebyshev's min-max criterion. The performance of the proposed optimal DVA is compared with that obtained by existing optimal solution in literature. It is shown that the proposed optimal parameters are possible to obtain superior vibration suppression compared to existing optimal formula. Extended simulations are carried out to examine the performance of the optimally designed DVA and the sensitivity of the optimum parameters. The simulation results show that the improvement of the vibration performance on damped rotary system can be as much as 90% by using DVA.

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 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.

The dynamic vibration absorber and tuned mass damper are widely used to suppress harmful vibration of the damped structures under external excitation. The multiple dynamic vibration absorbers have more benefit than the single dynamic vibration absorber. The multiple dynamic vibration absorbers are portability and easy to install because its size is significantly reduced compared to an individual damper. This paper proposes a design method to obtain optimal parameters of multiple dynamic vibration absorbers attached on damped primary structures by using the least squares estimation of equivalent linearization method. An explicit expression of damping ratio and tuning parameters of multiple dynamic vibration absorbers are determined for minimizing the maximum displacement of the primary structures based on the fixed-point theory. The new contribution is provided a reliable theoretical basis for optimizing parameters of the multiple dynamic vibration absorbers that are attached on the damped primary structures. The numerical results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed optimal parameters of multiple dynamic vibration absorbers in reduce vibration of damped primary structures. In the practical applications, this research results allow to divide a large dynamic vibration absorber into many equivalent small dynamic vibration absorbers, which are convenient for manufacturing and installing on the damped primary structures such as high buildings and cable-stayed bridges.
