The basic structure of a pipeline is complex due to the narrow installation space of a pipeline system. Thus, a considerable number of complex pipelines are adopted in a pipeline system. When a hydraulic pipeline works, it is impacted by fluid, which produces vibration. It is necessary to implement an effective method to control the vibration of a pipeline system. In recent years, the research on active constrained layer damping (ACLD) technology is increasing. However, there are few studies on the vibration characteristics of the ACLD pipeline system conveying fluid. The damping and vibration characteristics of ACLD pipeline system conveying fluid are studied in this paper. Considered the influence of the fluid–structure interaction, the motion equations can be derived, and the finite element model established of the pipeline based on ACLD treatment. The effect of the elasticity modulus, the thickness of the viscoelastic and constrained layer, the length and position of the ACLD patch, the velocity and pressure of fluid, and the voltage for the constrained layer, are all considered. The results show that ACLD technology has great damping influence on the conveying fluid pipeline.

In this paper, vibration control of an aero pipeline system using active constrained layer damping treatment has been investigated in terms of the vibration and stress distribution. A three-dimensional finite element model of such a pipeline with active constrained layer damping (ACLD) patches is developed. The transfer of the driving force under harmonic voltage is analyzed based on the finite element model. The vibration control of the pipeline with active constrained layer damping treatment under different voltages is computed to analyze the influence of control parameters and structural parameters on the control effect. An experiment platform is developed to validate the above relations. Results show that the performance of the active constrained layer damping treatment is affected by the elastic modulus and thickness of the viscoelastic layer, control voltage and structure size. The performance increases significantly with the rising of the control voltage and cover area of ACLD patches among these parameters.

Vibration and sound radiation from fluid-loaded cylindrical shells are controlled using patches of Active Constrained Layer Damping (ACLD). The performance and the enhanced damping characteristics via reduced vibrations and sound radiation in the surrounding fluid is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. A prime motivation for this work is the potential wide applications in submarines and torpedoes where acoustic stealth is critical to the effectiveness of missions. A finite element model is also developed to predict the vibration and the acoustic radiation in the surrounding fluid of the ACLD-treated cylinders. The developed model is used to study the effectiveness of the control and placement strategies of the ACLD in controlling the fluid-structure interactions. A water tank is constructed that incorporates test cylinders treated with two ACLD patches placed for targeting specific vibration modes. Using this arrangement, the effectiveness of different control strategies is studied when the submerged cylinders are subjected to internal excitation, and the radiated sound pressure level in the water is observed. Comparisons are made between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions to validate the finite element model.

Active Constrained Layer

This paper deals with the analysis of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of smart skew laminated composite plates. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is composed of the vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composites (PZCs). A finite element model has been developed for accomplishing the task of the active constrained layer damping of skew laminated symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply composite plates integrated with the patches of such ACLD treatment. Both in-plane and out-of-plane actuations by the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment have been utilized for deriving the finite element model. The analysis revealed that the vertical actuation dominates over the in-plane actuation. Particular emphasis has been placed on investigating the performance of the patches when the orientation angle of the piezoelectric fibers of the constraining layer is varied in the two mutually orthogonal vertical planes. Also, the effects of varying the skew angle of the substrate laminated composite plates and different boundary conditions on the performance of the patches have been studied. The analysis reveals that the vertically and the obliquely reinforced 1–3 PZC materials should be used for achieving the best control authority of ACLD treatment, as the boundary conditions of the smart skew laminated composite plates are simply supported and clamped-clamped, respectively.

Active Constrained Layer

This paper is concerned with the enhanced active constrained layer (EACL) damping treatment with edge elements. A finite element time-domain-based model (FEM) is developed for the beam structure with partially covered EACL. The edge elements are modeled as equivalent springs mounted at the boundaries of the piezoelectric layer. The Golla-Hughes-McTavish (GHM) method is used to model the viscoelastic layer. The GHM dissipation coordinates can describe the frequency-dependent viscoelastic material properties. This model becomes the current active constrained layer (ACL) system model as the stiffness of the edge elements approaches zero. Without the edge elements and viscoelastic materials, the purely active system model can also be obtained from the EACL model as a special case. Lab tests are conducted to validate the models. The frequency responses of the EACL, current ACL, and purely active systems predicted by the FEM match the test results closely. Utilizing these models, analysis results are illustrated and discussed in Part (2) of this paper.

Pipelines work in serious vibration environments caused by mechanical-based excitation, and it is thus challenging to put forward effective methods to reduce the vibration of pipelines. The common vibration control technique mainly uses the installation of dampers, constrained layer damping materials, and an optimized layout to control the vibration of pipelines. However, the passive damping treatment has little influence on the low frequency range of a pipeline system. Active control technology can obtain a remarkable damping effect. An active constrained layer damping (ACLD) system with piezoelectric materials is proposed in this paper. This paper aims to investigate the vibration and damping effect of ACLD pipeline under fixed support. The finite element method is employed to establish the motion equations of the ACLD pipeline. The effect of the thickness and elastic modulus of the viscoelastic layer, the laying position, and the coverage of ACLD patch, and the voltage of the piezoelectric material are all considered. The results show that the best damping performance can be obtained by selecting appropriate control parameters, and it can provide effective design guidance for active vibration control of a pipeline system.

Active Constrained Layer

Abstract This paper is concerned with the enhanced active constrained layer (EACL) damping treatment with edge elements. A finite element time-domain-based model (FEM) is developed for the beam structure with partially covered EACL. The edge elements are modeled as equivalent springs mounted at the boundaries of the piezoelectric layer. The transverse, axial, and shear motions are included. The energy method in combination with the Golla-Hughes-McTavish (GHM) viscoelastic modeling method is used. The GHM dissipation coordinates can describe the frequency-dependent viscoelastic material properties. This model becomes the current active constrained layer (ACL) system model as the stiffness of the edge elements approaches zero. Without the edge elements and viscoelastic materials, the purely active system model can also be obtained from the EACL model as a special case. Lab tests are conducted to validate the models. The frequency responses of the EACL, current ACL, and purely active systems predicted by the FEM match the test results closely. Utilizing these models, analysis results are illustrated and discussed in Part (II) of this paper.
