Attractors of harmonically forced linear oscillator with attached nonlinear energy sink. II: Optimization of a nonlinear vibration absorber

This paper is the second one in the series of two papers devoted to detailed investigation of the response regimes of a linear oscillator with attached nonlinear energy sink (NES) under harmonic external forcing and assessment of possible application of the NES for vibration absorption and mitigation. In this paper, we study the performance of a strongly nonlinear, damped vibration absorber with relatively small mass attached to a periodically excited linear oscillator. We present a nonlinear absorber tuning procedure in the vicinity of (1:1) resonance which provides the best total system energy suppression, using analytical and numerical tools. A linear absorber is also tuned according to the same criterion of total system energy suppression as the nonlinear one. Both optimally tuned absorbers are compared under common parameters of damping, external forcing but different absorber stiffness characteristics; certain cases for which nonlinear absorber is preferable over the linear one are revealed and confirmed numerically.

A Theoretical and Experimental Implementation of a Control Method Based on Saturation

A novel approach for implementing an active nonlinear vibration absorber is presented. The absorber, which is built in electronic circuitry, takes advantage of the saturation phenomenon that occurs when two natural frequencies of a system with quadratic nonlinearities are in the ratio of two-to-one. When the system is excited at a frequency near the higher natural frequency, there is a small ceiling for the system response at the higher frequency and the rest of the input energy is channeled to the low-frequency mode.A working model of using saturation to suppress the vibrations of a rigid beam connected to a DC motor has been built. An electronic oscillator is built, and its frequency is set at one-half the frequency of the beam. The output from a sensor on the beam is multiplied by the output from the electronic oscillator and a suitable gain, and the result is used as the forcing term for the oscillator. At the same time, the output from the oscillator is squared and multiplied by a suitable gain, and that result is used as the input to the motor. The oscillator/actuator and the beam act as the two modes of a two-degree-of-freedom quadratically coupled system with a 2:1 autoparametric resonance. When the beam is excited by a harmonic force, its motion quickly becomes saturated, and most of the energy imparted to the beam by the harmonic force is transferred to the electronic circuit and from there to the actuator. Thus, the harmonic force is made to work against itself. As a result, the motion of the beam always remains small.     

Dynamics of Articulated Structures. Part I. Theory

ABSTRACT

A finite element based method is developed for geometrically nonlinear dynamic analysis of spatial articulated structures; i.e., structures in which kinematic connections permit large relative displacement between components that undergo small elastic deformation. Vibration and static correction modes are used to account for linear elastic deformation of components. Kinematic constraints between components are used to define boundary conditions for vibration analysis and loads for static correction mode analysis. Constraint equations between flexible bodies are derived in a systematic way and a Lagrange multiplier formulation is used to generate the coupled large displacement-small deformation equations of motion. A lumped mass finite element structural analysis formulation is used to generate deformation modes. An intermediate-processor is used to calculate time-independent terms in the equations of motion and to generate input data for a large-scale dynamic analysis code that includes coupled effects of geometric nonlinearity and elastic deformation. Examples are presented and the effects of deformation mode selection on dynamic prediction are analyzed in Part II of the paper.     

Double plate system with a discontinuity in the elastic bonding layer

The double plate system with a discontinuity in the elastic bonding layer of Winker type is studied in this paper. When the discontinuity is small, it can be taken as an interface crack between the bi-materials or two bodies (plates or beams). By comparison between the number of multifrequencies of analytical solutions of the double plate system free transversal vibrations for the case when the system is with and without discontinuity in elastic layer we obtain a theory for experimental vibration method for identification of the presence of an interface crack in the double plate system. The analytical analysis of free transversal vibrations of an elastically connected double plate systems with discontinuity in the elastic layer of Winkler type is presented. The analytical solutions of the coupled partial differential equations for dynamical free and forced vibration processes are obtained by using method of Bernoulli’s particular integral and Lagrange’s method of variation constants. It is shown that one mode vibration corresponds an infinite or finite multi-frequency regime for free and forced vibrations induced by initial conditions and one-frequency or corresponding number of multi-frequency regime depending on external excitations. It is shown for every shape of vibrations. The analytical solutions show that the discontinuity affects the appearance of multi-frequency regime of time function corresponding to one eigen amplitude function of one mode, and also that time functions of different vibration basic modes are coupled. From final expression we can separate the new generalized eigen amplitude functions with corresponding time eigen functions of one frequency and multi-frequency regime of vibrations.

Piezoelectric-sensitive mode of lamb wave in one-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystal plate

We investigate the transmission modes in one-dimensional piezoelectric phononic crystal plate, which is consisted of piezoelectric ceramics placed periodically in epoxy. The influences of piezoelectricity and different electrical boundary conditions on the Lamb waves in the composite plate are studied in detail, and an important elastic wave mode named as piezoelectric-sensitive mode (PSM) is defined. Furthermore, the influences of the piezoelectric constants, the filling fraction and the ratio of thickness to lattice pitch on PSM are given, and the physical mechanism of PSM is also discussed. The numerical results show that PSM has a relatively larger frequency shift and significant change in the displacement distribution when piezoelectricity is considered; the electromechanical coupling coefficient of PSM is much larger than the other modes. It reveals that PSM is an important and useful mode in piezoelectric periodic structures. This investigation is helpful in controlling the band gaps and also gives a potential application in design of sensing system and different piezoelectric devices.     

Transient mode localization in coupled strongly nonlinear exactly solvable oscillators

Coupled strongly nonlinear oscillators, whose characteristic is close to linear for low amplitudes but becomes infinitely growing as the amplitude approaches certain limit, are considered in this paper. Such a model may serve for understanding the dynamics of elastic structures within the restricted space bounded by stiff constraints. In particular, this study focuses on the evolution of vibration modes as the energy is gradually pumped into or dissipates out of the system. For instance, based on the two degrees of freedom system, it is shown that the in-phase and out-of-phase motions may follow qualitatively different scenarios as the system’ energy increases. So the in-phase mode appears to absorb the energy with equipartition between the masses. In contrast, the out-of-phase mode provides equal energy distribution only until certain critical energy level. Then, as a result of bifurcation of the 1:1 resonance path, one of the masses becomes a dominant energy receiver in such a way that it takes the energy not only from the main source but also from another mass.     

Nonlinear dynamics and vibration reduction of a dry friction oscillator with SMA restraints

The dynamic behaviors of a dry friction oscillator with shape memory alloy (SMA) are investigated. Motion equations of the system are formulated by the restoring force of the oscillator in terms of a polynomial constitutive model dependent mainly on the temperature. The vibration response of the system and the influence of the temperature are investigated. It is shown that chaotic motions can be observed and dramatically changed by temperature characteristics. Moreover, some sliding bifurcations are also discovered and influenced by the temperature. Compared with conventional dry friction elastic oscillators, the dry friction SMA oscillator presents much richer dynamic behavior caused by pseudo-elasticity, and vibration reduction can be achieved through the shape memory property of SMA restraints.     

DYNAMIC CONTACT STIFFNESS OF VIBRATING RIGID SPHERE CONTACTING SEMI-INFINITE TRANSVERSELY ISOTROPIC VISCOELASTIC SOLID

Dynamic contact stiffness at the interface between a vibrating rigid sphere and a semi-infinite transversely isotropic viscoelastic solid is investigated. An oscillating force superimposed onto a static compressive force in the vertical direction excites the vibration of a rigid sphere, which causes variable contact radius and contact pressure distribution in the contact region. The assumption of a sufficiently small oscillating force yields a dynamic contact-pressure distribution of a constant contact radius, which gives dynamic contact stiffness at the interface between the rigid sphere and the semi-infinite solid. Numerical calculations show the influence of vibration frequency of the sphere, and elastic constants of the transversely isotropic solid on dynamic contact stiffness, which benefits quantitative evaluation of elastic constants and orientation of single hexagonal grains by resonance-frequency shifts of the oscillator in resonance ultrasound microscopy.     

Analytical test functions for free vibration analysis of rotating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams

In this paper, the governing equations for free vibration of a non-homogeneous rotating Timoshenko beam, having uniform cross-section, is studied using an inverse problem approach, for both cantilever and pinned-free boundary conditions. The bending displacement and the rotation due to bending are assumed to be simple polynomials which satisfy all four boundary conditions. It is found that for certain polynomial variations of the material mass density, elastic modulus and shear modulus, along the length of the beam, the assumed polynomials serve as simple closed form solutions to the coupled second order governing differential equations with variable coefficients. It is found that there are an infinite number of analytical polynomial functions possible for material mass density, shear modulus and elastic modulus distributions, which share the same frequency and mode shape for a particular mode. The derived results are intended to serve as benchmark solutions for testing approximate or numerical methods used for the vibration analysis of rotating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams.     

Modeling of properties and motions of an inhomogeneous one-dimensional continuum of a complicated Cosserat-type microstructure

We consider an approach to modeling the properties of the one-dimensional Cosserat continuum [1] by using the mechanical modeling method proposed by Il’yushin in [2] and applied in [3]. In this method, elements (blocks, cells) of special form are used to develop a discrete model of the structure so that the average properties of the model reproduced the properties of the continuum under study. The rigged rod model, which is an elastic structure in the form of a thin rod with massive inclusions (pulleys) fixed by elastic hinges on its elastic line and connected by elastic belt transmissions, is taken to be the original discrete model of the Cosserat continuum. The complete system of equations describing the mechanical properties and the dynamical equilibrium of the rigged rod in arbitrary plane motions is derived. These equations are averaged in the case of a sufficiently smooth variation in the parameters of motion along the rod (the long-wave approximation). It was found that the average equations exactly coincide with the equations for the one-dimensional Cosserat medium [1] and, in some specific cases, with the classical equations of motion of an elastic rod [4–6]. We study the plane motions of the one-dimensional continuum model thus constructed. The equations characterizing the continuum properties and motions are linearized by using several assumptions that the kinematic parameters are small. We solve the problem of natural vibrations with homogeneous boundary conditions and establish that each value of the parameter distinguishing the natural vibration modes is associated with exactly two distinct vibration mode shapes (in the same mode), each of which has its own frequency value.

基于假设模态加权的全局模态提取方法及其应用

假设模态法在单一梁、杆、索、板等柔性结构动力学建模中有广泛应用,但在处理组合结构振动问题时,常常因无法反映各部件之间的耦合作用使其应用受限。通过假设模态建立组合结构的近似动力学模型,利用近似模型求得系统的固有频率和相应的特征向量,据此可以有效地获得系统的全局模态。本文以跨中带有多个弹性支撑的简支梁为例,通过假设模态加权来提取系统的全局模态,从而建立系统的动力学模型。对系统进行固有特性分析的结果表明,通过假设模态加权可以方便地获得系统的全局模态;对系统动态响应分析的结果表明,采用本文提出的全局模态建立的非线性动力学模型可以有效地反映系统的非线性动力学特性。

     

Effect of mass diffusion on the damping ratio in micro-beam resonators

Present investigation is focused on studying the effect of mass diffusion on the quality factor of the micro-beam resonators. Equation of motion is obtained using Hamilton’s principle and also the equations of thermo-diffusive elastic damping are established using two dimensional non-Fourier heat conduction and non-Fickian mass diffusion models. Free vibration of a clamped–clamped micro-beam with isothermal boundary conditions at both ends, and also a cantilever micro-beam with adiabatic boundary condition assumption at the free end, is studied using Galerkin reduced order model formulation for the first mode of vibration. Mass diffusion effects on the damping ratio are studied for the various micro-beam thicknesses and temperatures and the obtained results are compared with the results of a model in which the mass diffusion effect is ignored. In addition to the classic critical thickness of thermoelastic damping, a new critical thickness concerning mass diffusion is introduced.
