Zigzag Structure

This paper presents a beam structure of a new metamaterial-inspired dynamic vibration attenuation system. The proposed experimental research presents a designed cantilevered zigzag structure that can have natural frequencies orders of magnitude lower than a simple cantilever of the same scale. The proposed vibration attenuation system relies on the masses places on the zigzag structure thus changing the dynamic response of the system. The zigzag plates are integrated into the host structure namely a cantilever beam with openings, forming what is referred to here as a metastructure. Experimental frequency response function results are shown comparing the response of the structure to depending on the natural frequency of the zigzag structures. Results show that the distributed inserts in the system can split the peak response of the structure into two separate peaks rendering the peak frequency a low transmission frequency. These preliminary results provide a view of the potential of research work on active-controlled structures and nonlinear insert-structure interaction for vibration attenuation.

Suppression System

This research work aims to investigate the presence of four nonlinear characteristics (i.e., hysteresis, saturation, creep, and uncertainty vibration) when a piezoelectric patch material acts as an actuator and sensor for the active vibration suppression of a cantilever beam. The parameters such as different operating frequencies and voltages are taken into account for the piezoelectric patch material characterization and the vibration before and after activation of a proportional–derivative–integral controller in an active vibration suppression system are measured. The effect of different proportional–derivative–integral controller tuning methods, frequency independent, and frequency dependency excitations are the three main contributions to evaluate the performance of active vibration suppression system. From the results, the piezoelectric actuator posed all the four nonlinearity effects while only three are observed in the sensor characteristics, and these effects increased significantly with the increase of operating frequencies and voltages. For the frequency-independent excitation of the active vibration suppression system, the vibration attenuation of the beam shows an improvement from low to higher excitation frequency, except at 500 Hz because of the saturation effect. In terms of controller performances, the proportional gain step-up method shows the best performance by scoring 3/5 of highest vibration attenuation percentages compared with manual and Ziegler–Nichols methods. For the frequency-dependent excitation, the effective frequency range for the active vibration suppression system is determined between 75 and 245 Hz with the highest vibration attenuation of 79.60% occurred at the second natural frequency of the beam.

Triangular cantilevers are usually used as small force sensors in the transverse direction. Analyzing the effect of a crack on transverse vibration of a triangular cantilever will be of value to users and designers of cantilever deflection force sensors. We present a method for prediction of location and size of a crack in a triangular cantilever beam based on measurement of the natural frequencies in this paper. The crack is modeled as a rotational spring. The beam is treated as two triangular beams connected by a rotational spring at the crack location. Formulae for representing the relation between natural frequencies and the crack details are presented. To detect crack details from experiment results, the plots of the crack stiffness versus its location for any three natural modes can be obtained through the relation equation, and the point of intersection of the three curves gives the crack location. The crack size is then calculated using the relation between its stiffness and size. An example to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the method is presented.

Isosceles Triangles

Abstract Using the method published by Ritz in 1909, natural frequencies and corresponding node lines have been determined for two symmetric and two antisymmetric modes of vibration of isosceles triangular plates clamped at the base and having length-to-base ratios of 1, 2, 4, and 7 and for the two lowest modes of right triangular plates clamped along one leg and having ratios of the length of the free leg to that of the clamped one of 2, 4, and 7. A nonorthogonal co-ordinate system was used which gave constant limits of integration over the area of the triangle. The co-ordinate transformation made it necessary to modify the functions used by Ritz in approximating deflections and to consider cross products in the integration. The integration was done numerically, using tables compiled by Young and Felgar in 1949. To check the accuracy of results, a solution was obtained to the problem of a vibrating cantilever beam of uniform depth and triangular plan view. The results obtained were found to be consistent with those obtained for the plates by using an eight-term series to approximate the deflections of the symmetric plates (isosceles triangles) and a six-term series to approximate the deflections of the unsymmetric plates (right triangles).

Abstract Based on a simplified model of the hub-fuselage structure, a theoretical analysis is made of the response of the hub and fuselage of a helicopter in flight to harmonic forces transmitted by the rotor blades to the hub both in, and normal to, the plane of rotation. The assumed structure is in the form of a plane framework with masses concentrated at the joints. Simple expressions are derived for the vibration amplitudes of the mass points as functions of the masses and natural frequencies of the hub and the fuselage. The pertinent nondimensional parameters are determined, and simple explicit conditions of resonance are derived. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.

Abstract Vibration suppression of distributed parameter systems is of great interest and has a wide range of applications. The dynamic performance of a primary system can be improved by adding dynamic vibration absorbers (DVA). Although the relevant topics have been studied for decades, the trade-off between capability of suppressing multiple resonant peaks and complexity of absorbers has not been well addressed. In this paper, the vibration suppression problem of a uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with closely spaced natural frequencies is investigated. To achieve desired vibration reduction, a two-DOF DVA is connected to the beam through a pair of a spring and a dashpot. By introducing a virtual ground spring, the parameters of the absorber are determined via extended fixed point theory. The proposed method only requires univariate optimization and is computationally efficient. Numerical examples conducted verify the viability of the proposed method and the effectiveness of a two-DOF DVA in suppressing double resonances.

Good Agreement

Using nonlinear energy sink absorber (NESA) is a good countermeasure for vibration suppression in wide board frequency region. The nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) are helpful in dynamics analysis for a NESA-attached system. Being a primary structure, a cantilever beam whose modal functions contain hyperbolic functions is surveyed, in case of being attached with NESA and subjected to a harmonic excitation. With the help of Galerkins method and Raushers method, the NNMs are obtained analytically. The comparison of analytical and numerical results indicates a good agreement, which confirms the existence of the nonlinear normal modes.

Searching Method

When a parallel robot is equipped with kinematic redundancy, it has sufficient capabilities of natural frequency modulation through adjusting geometric configuration. To reduce resonance of a mechanism, this paper investigates the natural frequency modulation of a kinematically redundant planar parallel robot. A double-threshold searching method is proposed for controlling the inverse kinematics solution and keeping the natural frequencies away from the excitation frequency. The effectiveness of modulating the natural frequencies is demonstrated by comparing it with a non-modulation method. The simulation results indicate that, in all directions, the responses are coupled, and every order should be taken into consideration during natural frequency modulation. Compared to the non-modulation method, the proposed method can reduce the resonance amplitude to a certain extent, and the effect of vibration suppression is remarkable.
