Self-stress design of tensegrity grid structures with exostresses

A numerical method is presented for initial self-stress design of tensegrity grid structures with exostresses, which is defined as a linear combination of the coefficients of independent self-stress modes. A discussion on proper division of the number of member groups for the purpose of existence of a single integral feasible self-stress mode has been explicitly given. Dummy elements to transform the tensegrity grid structure with statically indeterminate supports into self-stressed pin-jointed system without supports are employed. The unilateral properties of the stresses in cables and struts are taken into account. Evaluation of the stability for the structure is also considered. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness in searching initial single integral feasible self-stress mode for tensegrity grid structures.     

ACTIVE VIBRATION CONTROL OF FINITE L-SHAPED BEAM WITH TRAVELLING WAVE APPROACH

In this paper, the disturbance propagation and active vibration control of a finite L-shaped beam axe studied. The dynamic response of the structure is obtained by the travelling wave approach. The active vibration suppression of the finite L-shaped beam is performed based on the structural vibration power flow. In the numerical calculation, the influences of the near field effect of the error sensor and the small error of the control forces on the control results are all considered. The simulation results indicate that the structural vibration response in the medium and high frequency regions can be effectively computed by the travelling wave method. The effect of the active control by controlling the power flow is much better than that by controlling the acceleration in some cases. And the control results by the power flow method are slightly affected by the locations of the error sensor and the small error of the control forces.

A novel eight-legged vibration isolation platform with dual-pyramid-shape struts

An eight-legged vibration isolation platform (ELVIP) with dual-pyramid-shape (DPS) struts is proposed in this paper to achieve six-degree-of-freedom vibration isolation. The DPS strut has higher static stiffness and lower dynamic stiffness than the equivalent linear strut due to geometric nonlinearity, and therefore the ELVIP with DPS struts possesses high-static–low-dynamic-stiffness characteristic which is desirable for widening the frequency range of isolation. The layout of the ELVIP legs is conducive to vibration decoupling and has higher reliability than six-legged platforms. Firstly, the stiffness characteristics of the DPS strut are derived; then the dynamic model of the ELVIP with DPS struts is established and the steady-state responses are obtained analytically; finally, the isolation performance is studied and the effects of damping and excitation amplitudes are investigated. It is shown that the ELVIP with DPS struts, as a passive approach, can achieve good isolation performance in all six directions with a small static deflection.

Vibration control of nonlinear Absorber–Isolator-Combined structure with time-delayed coupling

A nonlinear combined structure consisted of isolator and absorber with time-delayed coupling active control is proposed in this study, whose vibration suppression effectiveness and control mechanism are investigated. The mathematical model of the combined structure is obtained and stability analysis for different structural parameters and time delay are firstly carried out, which provides a general guideline for the ranges of active control parameters. Then the combined effect of nonlinearity and time delay on vibration suppression and energy transfer is discussed in details based on the analysis of control mechanism by the method of multiple scales. Since the time-delayed nonlinear absorber can induce internal resonance between different modes, the vibration energy at low frequencies can be transferred to high frequency mode and the vibration of the fundamental frequency range is thus suppressed. This paper provides a novel application of internal resonance in vibration suppression of an Absorber–Isolator-Combined structure.

A 6-DOF passive vibration isolator based on Stewart structure with X-shaped legs

By employing the nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics of a bio-inspired X-shaped structure (XSS) with passive springs and the Stewart platform with six degrees of freedom, a passive 6-DOF vibration isolation platform is designed and experimentally studied for its vibration isolation performance. A three-layer asymmetrical XSS is adopted as legs to construct a passive Stewart platform. Because of the specially designed XSS, the stiffness and damping properties of the system can be adjusted by changing structural parameters and thus it is designable to achieve an excellent performance including excellent stability and high-static-low-dynamic-stiffness isolation effect in all six directions with satisfactory loading capacity in the vertical direction, without any active control. Analytical and extensive experimental analysis of static stiffness and vibration response of the system revealed that (a) the aXSS Stewart platform has very beneficial high static nonlinear stiffness which can provide sufficient loading capacity; (b) the platform can achieve very low dynamic stiffness in each direction without losing loading capacity; (c) both static and dynamic stiffness is adjustable and designable with structure parameters and very easy to implement in a pure passive manner.
