Active Vibration

The reduction of mechanical vibrations is field of continuous research in engineering in order to reduce damage and improve the performance of structures, machinery, piping and others systems, when they are in presence of dynamical forces. In this sense, different alternatives have been proposed over time, the active vibration absorber highlights as an alternative which can absorb the vibration from a primary system for different excitation frequency in real time. In this study, an active vibration absorber has been modelled as an electromechanical device composed of a 1-DOF model for the absorber and an equivalent electrical circuit for the electromagnetic actuator. It was implemented in a real structure represented by a cantilever beam continuous model, which is the most accurate model that can be used. A set of differential equations which represent the dynamical behaviour of the cantilever beam implemented with the active vibration absorber was obtained from the complete model and it was simulated in Matlab Simulink®. An application of the active vibration absorber for an industry piping system based on the finite element model formulation is presented and developed. Results indicate that the active vibration absorber is able to significantly reduce the vibrations amplitude of the primary system, especially in resonance conditions, for a discrete frequency range. The analytic model and procedure developed here can easily widespread to any more complex primary system.

Story Building

This work deals with the design and experimental evaluation of a passive/active cantilever beam autoparametric vibration absorber mounted on a two-story building-like structure (primary system), with two rigid floors connected by flexible columns. The autoparametric vibration absorber consists of a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch actuator, cemented to its base, mounted on the top of the structure and actively controlled through an acquisition system. The overall system is then a coupled nonlinear oscillator subjected to sinusoidal excitation in the neighborhood of its external and internal resonances. The addition of the piezoelectric patch actuator to the cantilever beam absorber makes active the passive vibration absorber, thus enabling the possibility to control its equivalent stiffness and damping and, as a consequence, the implementation of an active vibration control scheme able to preserve, as possible, the autoparametric interaction as well as to compensate varying excitation frequencies and parametric uncertainty.

Stability Issues

This paper elaborates upon a novel concept, the Delayed Resonator, a tunable active vibration absorber. This technique uses a control which has a time delayed feedback of the absorber mass displacement. The substance of this process is in that the absorber completely removes oscillations from the primary structure. Two very strong features that should be mentioned are: (a) the excitation frequency range can vary over a semi-infinite interval, and (b) the absorber can be tuned in real time. These are the unique characteristics of the technique distinguishing it from the others. Stability issues of the primary system combined with the Delayed Resonator are addressed following Nyquist and root locus methods. In particular, the absorption performance for cases with time varying excitation frequency is studied. The primary focus of this paper is on the analysis of transient absorption behavior of the Delayed Resonator during its tuning. An example case is provided which considers a step change in the excitation frequency. A well-pronounced manifestation of the tunability feature of the Delayed Resonator is observed. The superiority of the Delayed Resonator absorber over the conventional a priori tuned absorbers is also demonstrated.

The vibration absorbers are frequently used to control and minimize excess vibration in structural system. Dynamic vibration absorbers are used to reduce the undesirable vibration in many applications such as pumps, gas turbines, engine, bridge, and electrical generator. To reduce the vibration of the system, the frequency of absorber should be equal to the excitation frequency. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of magnetic vibration absorber along vibrating cantilever beam. This study will aim to develop a position of magnetic vibration absorber along the cantilever beam to adopt the change in vibratory system. The absorber system is mounted on a cantilever beam acting as the primary system. The objective is to suppress the vibration of the primary system subjected to a harmonic excitation whose frequencies are varying. It can be achieved by varying the position of magnetic vibration absorber along the length of beam. The advantage of magnetic vibration absorber is that it can be easily tuned to the excitation frequency, so it can be used to reduce the vibration of system subjected to variable excitation frequency.

Abstract A semi-active vibration absorber with adaptive capability is presented to improve wide band vibration suppression characteristics of harmonically excited structures. The absorber subsection consists of a double-ended cantilever beam carrying an intermediate lumped mass. The adaptive capability is achieved through concurrent adjustment of the position of the moving mass, along the beam, to comply with the desired optimal performance. If such an absorber is attached to a vibrating body, it effectively absorbs vibrations at all frequencies that belong to the absorber frequency bandwidth. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed absorption scheme. It is shown that the tuning strategy tries to follow and match the absorber natural frequency with the excitation frequency. The optimally tuned absorber provides considerable vibration suppression improvement over the passive and de-tuned absorbers, for wide band excitation disturbances.

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.

This article presents a phase-based fuzzy logic controller for magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber to trace the excitation frequency rapidly. The phase difference between the relative acceleration of the vibration absorber mass and the absolute acceleration of the primary system is used as the input signal of the fuzzy logic controller to calculate the desired magnetic current. Compared with the traditional stiffness control strategy, the proposed controller does not rely on the accurate relationship between the magnetic current and the resonant frequency of the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber. Simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the proposed stiffness controller is efficient to make the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber trace the excitation frequency rapidly. When the excitation frequency varies, the magnetorheological elastomer vibration absorber can be tuned properly within several seconds.

In the present work, analysis of a nonlinear active vibration absorber is carried out by time delay acceleration feedback. The primary system consisting of spring, mass and damper is subjected to multi harmonic and parametric excitation. It is proposed to reduce the vibration of both the primary system and the absorber by attaching a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) stack actuator connected in series with a spring in absorber configuration which act as an active vibration absorber. Due to the external excitation on the primary mass strain is developed in the PZT sensor, which produces voltage and this voltage converted to a counter acting force by the PZT actuator to suppress the vibration of the primary system. Second order method of multiple scales (MMS) is used to obtain approximate solution of the system to study frequency responses for simultaneous primary resonance, principal parametric and 1:1 internal resonance conditions. The analysis is performed for the mass ratio of 0.01 between the absorber and the primary mass.

Active Vibration

In this paper a new type of semi-active vibration absorber has been developed. The vibration absorber consists of mass block, cantilever beam, magnet lock system, vibration and distance sensors, controller and servo motor. The mass block is fixed on the tip of cantilever beam, and the control process is driven by a servo motor and a transmit gears. Portion of cantilever was cut in form of gear tracks, which can be driven by servo motor through transmit gear to regulate the length of the cantilever beam, and the natural frequency of absorber will also be regulated. After the mass locates in right position (i.e. the natural frequency of absorber is in assigned condition), the magnetic lock will clamp the cantilever beam. The design has the benefit of simplified control system, and extra unknown vibration modes will be averted. A fabrication prototype of the proposed semi-active vibration absorber is constructed and tested to demonstrate the application and modeling of the new cantilever beam damper. By performing the experimental work, the semi-active vibration control system is designed not only for reduce vibration level in resonant condition, but also considered for vibration attenuation in non-resonant conditions.

The absorbing effect of traditional dynamic vibration absorber (TDVA) is satisfactory only when the natural frequency is close to the excitation frequency. For this defect, a semi-active vibration absorber is designed with magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) as a stiffness element, that its stiffness can be controlled by magnetic field, to widen the frequency band of the absorber. Theory and experiments show that reducing the damp of the absorber can improve the performance of the absorber at the anti-resonance point, but it will cause the vibration of the controlled system at the new resonance point, which caused by the addition of a DVA, to be more intense. For this problem, the compatibilizer: silane coupling agent KH570, is added to the preparation of MRE to reduce material damping, at the same time, the stiffness control strategy is used to eliminate the resonance of the controlled system caused by the addition of DVA. The final experimental results show that the frequency band of vibration reduction has been broadened effectively and the vibration reduction performance has been improved considerably. Moreover, the resonance has been eliminated very well.

An experimental and theoretical investigation is carried out on a system consisting of a primary structure coupled with a passive/active autoparametric vibration absorber. The primary structure consists of a building-like mechanical structure with two rigid floors connected by flexible columns made from aluminium strips, while the vibration absorber consists of a cantilever beam with a PZT patch actuator cemented and actively controlled through an acquisition card installed on a PC running on a Matlab/Simulink platform. The overall system is then a coupled nonlinear oscillator subjected to sinusoidal excitation, obtained from an electromechanical shaker, in the neighborhood of its external and internal resonance. The addition of the PZT patch actuator to the cantilever beam absorber, cemented to the base of the beam, makes active the autoparametric vibration absorber, thus enabling the possibility to control the effective stiffness and damping associated to the passive absorber and, as a consequence, the implementation of an active vibration control scheme able to preserve, as possible, the autoparametric interaction as well as to compensate varying excitation frequencies and parametric uncertainty.
