Impacting between the multilayer Kelly bar and the power head has a detrimental effect on the drilling system and may cause huge losses to the construction engineering and machinery. This study is a further development of the vibro-impact mechanism, and especially, the study considers the constraint of the steel rope on the multilayer Kelly bar. Efficient analytical models are presented, and the total responses are obtained. Three types of displacement response are found by changing the matching relationship of global parameters. The first type has the optimal vibration control performance with the shortest path and no periodicity. The second type is inferior to the first type. The third type has the worst vibration-control performance with the longest path and periodicity. Then this article proposes the general feasibility to get the first type of displacement response and the most effective way is controlling the steel rope velocity. The research provides the foundation for the intelligent control of steel rope velocity on the rig machine.

Based on the summary of existing pounding force analytical models, an updated pounding force analysis method is proposed by introducing viscoelastic constitutive model and contact mechanics method. Traditional Kelvin viscoelastic pounding force model can be expanded to 3-parameter linear viscoelastic model by separating classic pounding model parameters into geometry parameters and viscoelastic material parameters. Two existing pounding examples, the poundings of steel-to-steel and concrete-to-concrete, are recalculated by utilizing the proposed method. Afterwards, the calculation results are compared with other pounding force models. The results show certain accuracy in proposed model. The relative normalized errors of steel-to-steel and concrete-to-concrete experiments are 19.8% and 12.5%, respectively. Furthermore, a steel-to-polymer pounding example is calculated, and the application of the proposed method in vibration control analysis for pounding tuned mass damper (TMD) is simulated consequently. However, due to insufficient experiment details, the proposed model can only give a rough trend for both single pounding process and vibration control process. Regardless of the cheerful prospect, the study in this paper is only the first step of pounding force calculation. It still needs a more careful assessment of the model performance, especially in the presence of inelastic response.

The effect of the interface slip is neglected in most studies on calculating deflection of sandwich beams. By taking a simply supported sandwich beams under uniformly distributed loads as an example, simplified analytical models of the interface slip are established, and corresponding clculation formulas of interface slip between steel panels and concrete and section curvatures are derived. The formula for deflection of sandwich beams are then presented. This formula reflects the relationship of influence each other between the interface slip and deflection.

This work proposes a method for controlling vibration using compliant-based actuators. The compliant actuator combines a conventional actuator with elastic elements in a series configuration. The benefits of compliant actuators for vibration control applications, demonstrated in this work, are twofold: (i) vibration reduction over a wide frequency bandwidth by passive control means and (ii) improvement of vibration control performance when active control is applied using the compliant actuator. The vibration control performance is compared with the control performance achieved using the well-known vibration absorber and conventional rigid actuator systems. The performance comparison showed that the compliant actuator provided a better flexibility in achieving vibration control over a certain frequency bandwidth. The passive and active control characteristics of the compliant actuator are investigated, which shows that the control performance is highly dependent on the compliant stiffness parameter. The active control characteristics are analyzed by using the proportional-derivative (PD) control strategy which demonstrated the capability of effectively changing the respective effective stiffness and damping of the system. These attractive dual passive–active control characteristics are therefore advantageous for achieving an effective vibration control system, particularly for controlling the vibration over a specific wide frequency bandwidth.

Satellites are subject to various severe vibration during different phases of flight. The concept of satellite smart adapter is proposed in this study to achieve active vibration control of launch vehicle on satellite. The satellite smart adapter has 18 active struts in which the middle section of each strut is made of piezoelectric stack actuator. Comprehensive conceptual design of the satellite smart adapter is presented to indicate the design parameters, requirements and philosophy applied which are based on the reliability and durability criterions to ensure successful functionality of the proposed system. The coupled electromechanical virtual work equation for the piezoelectric stack actuator in each active strut is drived by applying D'Alembert's principle. Modal analysis is performed to characterize the inherent properties of the smart adapter and extraction of a mathematical model of the system. Active vibration control analysis was conducted using fuzzy logic control with triangular membership functions and acceleration feedback. The control results conclude that the proposed satellite smart adapter configuration which benefits from piezoelectric stack actuator as elements of its 18 active struts has high strength and shows excellent robustness and effectiveness in vibration suppression of launch vehicle on satellite.

This paper addresses the design problem of piezoelectric actuators for multimodal active vibration control. The design process is carried out by a topology optimization procedure which aims at maximizing a control performance index written in terms of the controllability Gramian, which is a measure that describes the ability of the actuator to move the structure from an initial condition to a desired final state in a finite time interval. The main work contribution is that independent sets of design variables are associated with each modal controllability index, then the multi-objective problem can be split into independent single-objective problems. Thus, no weighting factors are required to be tuned to give each vibration mode a suitable relevance in the optimization problem. A material interpolation scheme based on the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) and the Piezoelectric Material with Penalization (PEMAP) models is employed to consider the different sets of design variables and the sensitivity analysis is carried out analytically. Numerical examples are presented by considering the design and vibration control for a cantilever beam and a beam fixed at both ends to show the efficacy of the proposed formulation. The control performance of the optimized actuators is analyzed using a Linear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) simulation.

Abstract Optimum production from vein-type deposits requires the Narrow Vein Mining (NVM) process where excavation is accomplished by drilling larger diameter holes. To drill into the veins to successfully extract the ore deposits, a conventional rotary drilling rig is mounted on the ground. These operations are generally conducted by drilling a pilot hole in a narrow vein followed by a hole widening operation. Initially, a pilot hole is drilled for exploration purposes, to guide the larger diameter hole and to control the trajectory, and the next step in the excavation is progressed by hole widening operation. Drilling cutting properties, such as particle size distribution, volume, and shape may expose a significant drilling problem or may provide justification for performance enhancement decisions. In this study, a laboratory hole widening drilling process performance was evaluated by drilling cutting analysis. Drill-off Tests (DOT) were conducted in the Drilling Technology Laboratory (DTL) by dint of a Small Drilling Simulator (SDS) to generate the drilling parameters and to collect the cuttings. Different drilling operations were assessed based on Rate of Penetration (ROP), Weight on Bit (WOB), Rotation per Minute (RPM), Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) and Drilling Efficiency (DE). A conducive schedule for achieving the objectives was developed, in addition to cuttings for further interpretation. A comprehensive study for the hole widening operation was conducted by involving intensive drilling cutting analysis, drilling parameters, and drilling performance leading to recommendations for full-scale drilling operations.

Abstract We propose a new active vibration control strategy based on the future seismic waveform information obtained in remote observation sites. The waveform information in the remote site is transmitted by a waveform transmission network to the structure under control. The waveform transmission network is realized by interconnecting multiple controlled structures and observation sites. By using the future waveform information obtained through the network, we propose a control law realizing fairly higher control performance over the conventional structural control methodologies. A preview control law consisting of the state-feedback and feedforward control (preview action) is adopted. For the preview action, future values of the disturbance in some time interval are necessary. However, because the future value of the earthquake waveform is unknown, the preview action contributing the performance improvement is generally impossible. To get over this difficulty, an AI-based wave estimation system to estimate the future earthquake waveform is proposed. The wave estimation system is a multi-layered artificial neural network (ANN). Through a small scale simulation study with a recorded earthquake event in Japan, we show that the proposed control method achieves much higher control performance over the conventional LQ-based active control.
