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.

Energy harvesting is a promise to harvest unwanted vibrations from a host structure. Similarly, a dynamic vibration absorber is proved to be a very simple and effective vibration suppression device, with many practical implementations in civil and mechanical engineering. This paper analyzes the prospect of using a vibration absorber for possible energy harvesting. To achieve this goal, a vibration absorber is supplemented with a piezoelectric stack for both vibration confinement and energy harvesting. It is assumed that the original structure is sensitive to vibrations and that the absorber is the element where the vibration energy is confined, which in turn is harvested by means of a piezoelectric stack. The primary goal is to control the vibration of the host structure and the secondary goal is to harvest energy out of the dynamic vibration absorber at the same time. Approximate fixed-point theory is used to find a closed form expression for optimal frequency ratio of the vibration absorber. The changes in the optimal parameters of the vibration absorber due to the addition of the energy harvesting electrical circuit are derived. It is shown that with a proper choice of harvester parameters a broadband energy harvesting can be obtained combined with vibration reduction in the primary structure.

Abstract An energy harvesting dynamic vibration absorber is studied to suppress undesirable vibrations in a host structure as well as to harvest electrical energy from vibrations using piezoelectric transduction. The present work studies the feasibility of using vibration absorber for harvesting energy under random excitation and in presence of parametric uncertainties. A two degrees of freedom model is considered in the analytical formulation for the host along with the absorber. A separate equation is used for energy generation from piezoelectric material. Two studies are reported here, (i) with random excitation where the base input is considered to be Gaussian; (ii) parametric uncertainty is considered with harmonic excitation. Under random base excitation the analytical results show that, with the proper selection of parameters, harvested electrical energy can be increased along with the reduction in vibration of the host structure. Graphs are reported showing trade-off between harvested energy and vibration control. Whereas, Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to analyze the system with parametric uncertainty. This showed that the mean harvested power decreases with an increase in uncertainties in the natural frequency as well as damping ratio. In addition, optimal electrical parameters for obtaining maximum power for the case of uncertain parameters are also reported in this study.

In this article, a magnetic suspension technique was introduced into the field of vibration absorption. Using the advantage of adjustable control parameters of a magnetic suspension system, a type of a magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber that can achieve broadband vibration suppression was designed. First, the theoretical model of a magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber was established. Then, the cantilever beam with sinusoidal excitation is seen as the main system of vibration suppression; combined with the fixed point theory (Seto K (2013) Dynamic Vibration Absorber and its Application. Mechanic Industry Press), the specific structure of the magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber was designed. Based on that, the simulation study of vibration suppression performance of the magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber was carried out. The results indicated that the vibration of the main system at the 1st modal frequency was reduced by 65.38% under the action of the magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber, compared with that without the action of the magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber. Furthermore, the vibration of the main system can be suppressed in the frequency band of [16 Hz, 32 Hz]. Finally, a vibration test rig of the magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber was built up for experimental study. And the results showed that the absorber can decrease the vibration of the main system by 43.03% at the 1st modal frequency compared with that without the action of magnetic suspension dynamic vibration absorber and had a certain suppression effect (decrease varies from 0 to 43.03%) on the vibration of the main system in the frequency band of [20 Hz, 32 Hz].

The Maxwell model with viscoelastic material and multiple negative stiffness springs is introduced into dynamic vibration absorber system, and all the system parameters are optimized in detail. The analytical solution of the primary system is exhibited according to the established motion differential equation. The dimensionless system parameters, including the optimum natural frequency ratio, the optimum damping ratio and the first optimum negative stiffness ratio of dynamic vibration absorber, are obtained based on H∞ optimization principle and the fixed-point theory. Considering system stability, the other optimum negative stiffness ratio is also determined. Furthermore, by the comparisons of the presented dynamic vibration absorber with other traditional dynamic vibration absorbers, it is found that the dynamic vibration absorber in this paper has better vibration reduction effect in the case of both harmonic and random excitation.

The dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is generally used to suppress the machining vibration in boring processes. The DVA consists of an additional massspringdamper sub-system, and needs accurately tuning of its natural frequency and damping ratio to match the main structure for vibration control. For obtaining the optimal performance of the DVA, the parameters of the DVA used in a boring bar is identified using modal correlation method, which combines the finite element analysis method with test modal method to validate the FEMs results. The analysis results show that the modal correlation method is an effective and simple method to accurately identify the dynamic parameters of DVA and guarantee the optimal design of the DVA for boring chatter control.

Magnetorheological elastomer is a new kind of intelligent material that mainly incorporates micron-sized ferromagnetic particles into a polymer. A dynamic vibration absorber that is based on the controllable shear modulus of magnetorheological elastomer is widely used in vibration systems. In the study, a flexible carbody model with a magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is established. A design method of a semiactive dynamic vibration absorber that is based on magnetorheological elastomer is introduced, and the operational principle of the semiactive dynamic vibration absorber is also discussed. To improve the vibration absorption performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber, via multiple regression analysis, the optimal design frequency expressions for both the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration of the carbody are fitted. Parameter determination for the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber is investigated in detail. Then, the effects on the rigid vibration and the elastic vibration with the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber both with the passive vibration absorber and without a vibration absorber are analyzed. Finally, Sperling’s riding index is used to evaluate the feasibility and the performance of the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber in a practical application. The results demonstrate that the vibration of the carbody can be effectively reduced by using the magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber instead of the dynamic vibration absorber without the magnetorheological elastomer. The magnetorheological elastomer dynamic vibration absorber that is modified by the optimum frequency provides superior vibration reduction performance and improves the riding quality of the railway vehicle.

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.
