Dynamics of two vibro-impact nonlinear energy sinks in parallel under periodic and transient excitations

A linear oscillator (LO) coupled with two vibro-impact (VI) nonlinear energy sinks (NES) in parallel is studied under periodic and transient excitations, respectively. The objective is to study response regimes and to compare their efficiency of vibration control. Through the analytical study with multiple scales method, two slow invariant manifolds (SIM) are obtained for two VI NES, and different SIM that result from different clearances analytically supports the principle of separate activation. In addition, fixed points are calculated and their positions are applied to judge response regimes. Transient responses and modulated responses can be further explained. By this way, all analysis is around the most efficient response regime. Then, numerical results demonstrate two typical responses and validate the effectiveness of analytical prediction. Finally, basic response regimes are experimentally observed and analyzed, and they can well explain the complicated variation of responses and their corresponding efficiency, not only for periodic excitations with a fixed frequency or a range of frequency, but also for transient excitation. Generally, vibration control is more effective when VI NES is activated with two impacts per cycle, whatever the types of excitation and the combinations of clearances. This observation is also well reflected by the separate activation of two VI NES with two different clearances, but at different levels of displacement amplitude of LO.     

Non-linear multimodal model for tuned liquid dampers of arbitrary tank geometry

Tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) utilize sloshing fluid to absorb and dissipate structural vibrational energy. Simple TLD tank geometries may not always be feasible due to space limitations. While the non-linear modelling of sloshing fluid is currently limited to tanks of simple geometries, this paper develops a non-linear multimodal model which describes the sloshing behaviour of a fluid in a flat-bottom tank of arbitrary geometry. The mode shapes of the sloshing fluid are found by solving the Helmholtz equation over the tank domain using the finite element method. The Bateman-Luke variational principle is used to develop a system of ordinary differential equations which account for the coupling of the sloshing modes through the non-linear free surface boundary conditions. Damping is incorporated into the model by considering the drag produced on a set of damping screens inserted in the fluid. The system of ordinary differential equations is solved using the Runge-Kutta-Gill Method to predict the wave heights and sloshing forces. In general, the mode shapes in an arbitrary tank will have components in two orthogonal (x- and y-) directions. This out-of-plane behaviour is an important consideration for TLD design. The model is validated with existing models for the special cases of rectangular and circular tanks. Lastly, new shake table tests are conducted on a tank of complex geometry.     

Semi-active hydro-gas suspension system for a tracked vehicle

A semi-active hydro-gas suspension is proposed for a tracked vehicle to improve ride comfort performance, without compromising the road holding and load carrying capabilities of the passive suspension. This is achieved through an active damper used in parallel with a gas spring. The suspension damper parameters are varied by a control mechanism based on sky-hook damping theory, which alters the flow characteristics. A damper prototype has been developed, tested for its flow characteristics, after which it has been integrated into an existing hydro-gas suspension system. An analytical model has been proposed from first principles rather than developing a phenomenological model based on experimental characteristics. This model is validated with experiments carried out on a suspension test rig. In order to compare the performance with the original passive system, an in-plane vehicle model is developed and the simulations clearly show that the semi-active system performance is superior to the passive system.

Numerical modeling of sloshing motion in a tuned liquid damper outfitted with a submerged slat screen

Tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) are among the most economical and effective passive damping devices. They have been increasingly used to reduce dynamic response and protect structures from failure due to external dynamic excitations. Slat screens are one of the most effective devices used to increase the inherent damping of a TLD, and to reduce the non‐linearity of the free surface motion. A numerical algorithm has been developed to solve the complete non‐linear, moving boundary flow problem in a TLD outfitted with slat screens. The model has been developed to handle conditions leading from small to large interfacial deformations without imposing any linearization assumptions. The numerical algorithm is based on the finite‐difference method. The free surface has been determined using the volume‐of‐fluid method and the donor–acceptor algorithm. The effect of the slat screens has been modeled explicitly by using the partial‐cell treatment method. The present algorithm has been validated against experimental data. The results indicated that the present algorithm is capable of providing accurate details of the flow field inside the TLD and through the screens. These details are essential to improve our understanding of the important parameters governing the performance of a TLD, and hence, to enhance our ability to design better TLDs.
