The centrifugal pendulum vibration absorber (CPVA) has been used for a long time as a method to suppress torsional vibrations. Recently, the roller type CPVA, that has a similar characteristic but simpler structure, has been investigated and started to be used in some automobile engines. However, the dynamical characteristics of the roller type CPVA are not known well. In this study, the nonlinear equations motion of the roller type CPVA are derived and their characterictics are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Especially, the difference between pendulum type CPVA and roller type CPVA is discussed from the viewpoint of the effect of a vibration suppression.

To suppress the vibration of a rotor system, a vibration absorber combining negative stiffness with positive stiffness together is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the negative stiffness producing mechanism using ring type permanent magnets is presented and the characteristics of the negative stiffness are analyzed. Then, the structure of the absorber is proposed; the principles and nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the absorber-rotor system are studied numerically. Finally, experiments are carried out to verify the numerical conclusions. The results show that the proposed vibration absorber is effective to suppress the vibration of the rotor system, the nonlinearity of the negatives stiffness affects the vibration suppression effect little, and the negative stiffness can broaden the effective vibration control frequency range of the absorber.

Abstract The torsional vibration hinders the reduction of automobile exhaust gas emitted by using engines with a reduced number of cylinders. Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVA) have been used in engines to suppress torsional vibration. To clarify the dynamics of CPVAs, much analysis has been conducted using the point mass CPVA as the model of rigid body bifilar CPVA. However, few attempts have been made to analyze the rigid body unifilar CPVA on vibration suppression performance in frequency response. In this study, the authors have analyzed the dynamics of the rigid body unifilar CPVA, focusing on the influence of shape parameters. The results verified that the shape parameters, which relating to moment of inertia or radius of gyration of rigid body unifilar CPVA, influence the vibration suppression performance in frequency response. Moreover, the numerical simulation results were confirmed experimentally and showed in good agreement with the experimental results, and both indicated the dependence of the vibration suppression performance on the shape parameters of the rigid body unifilar CPVA.

Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorber (CPVA) has been used as a torsional vibration suppression device. Recently, downsizing turbotechnology is widespread and it causes a torsional vibration in the drivetrains of automobiles, and CPVA is used for torsional vibration suppression. In such cases of vibration suppression of the drive-train shaft, it should be modeled as a multi degrees-of-freedom system and considered the suppression of its multiple modes. However, most of researches on CPVA so far have focused on a one degree-of-freedom system, and the vibration analysis and its suppression of the torsional vibration caused in the multi degrees-of-freedom system has been hardly investigated. In this paper, the dynamical characteristic of torsional vibration of the multi degrees-of-freedom system with CPVAs is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Vibration suppression mechanism of CPVA on the torsional vibration of the multi degrees-of-freedom system is studied by the eigenvalue analysis. The vibration suppression effect of CPVA on the harmonic resonances, and the occurrence of superharmonic resonances in multiple modes are observed by the numerical simulation. Then, nonlinear theoretical analyses of harmonic resonances and superharmonic resonances are performed and the vibration suppression effects of CPVA are explained. These obtained theoretical results are confirmed by experiments.

Tuned mass dampers (TMD) utilizing linear spring mechanisms to mitigate destructive vibrations are commonly used in practice. A TMD is tuned for a specific resonant frequency of a system. Recently, nonlinear vibration absorbers attracted attention of researchers due to some potential advantages they possess over the TMDs. The nonlinear vibration absorber, or the nonlinear energy sink (NES), has an advantage of being effective over a broad range of excitation frequencies, which makes it more suitable for systems with several resonant frequencies. Vibrations dissipation mechanism in an NES is passive and ensures that there is no energy backflow to the primary system. Experimental setup of a rotational system has been designed for validation of the concept of nonlinear torsional vibration absorber. Dimensions of the primary system have been optimized so as to get the first natural frequency of the system to be fairly low. This was done in order to excite the dynamic system for torsional vibration response by the available motor. Experiments have been performed to obtain the modal parameters of the system. Based on the obtained modal parameters, we carry out the design optimization of the nonlinear torsional vibration absorber using an equivalent 2-DOF modal model. A linear vibration absorber is developed in parallel. Subsequently, both absorbers will be manufactured, assembled and mounted on the system to evaluate their vibration suppression capabilities.

A hybrid torsional vibration damper is proposed in this study incorporating a conventional Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber (CPVA) and a Magnetorheological (MR) damper. While CPVAs are simple and reliable passive torsional vibration absorbers, their performance is limited to the designed tune conditions. MR dampers have recently received considerable attention due to their inherent fail-safe feature, low power requirement and capability to attenuate vibration under unpredictable environmental conditions. The present research aims at developing a novel hybrid torsional vibration damper combining conventional CPVA with the MR damper capable of suppressing torsional vibration at varying excitation frequencies. This research presents results from analytical investigation of rotor systems integrated with the proposed hybrid torsional vibration damper. The system under investigation consists of a rotor with attached hybrid torsional MR damper subjected to an external harmonic torque. The CPVA has been connected to the cylindrical housing of the MR damper. Different cases have been investigated including: 1- Rotor system without any damper, 2- Rotor system with only CPVA, 3- Rotor system with only torsional MR damper and 4- Rotor system with the hybrid torsional damper. Results for each case have been illustrated and compared against one another.
