直升机桨叶液压减摆器等效阻尼计算研究

直升机桨叶液压减摆器具有强非线性、大阻尼的特点。为了正确评估减摆器的等效阻尼，就旋转桨叶在水平面内的自由摆振运动，采用基于富里叶分析的移动矩形窗、基于希尔贝特（Hilbert）变换和能量平衡的方法对减摆器的等效阻尼进行了计算研究，并就阻尼强弱、衰减对数曲线的拟合等因素对计算结果的影响进行了分析。结果表明，对于线性阻尼和非线性弱阻尼振动系统，包络衰减法和能量平衡法计算等效阻尼能获得较一致的结果，对于非线性阻尼振动系统来说结果有分散性，应用时须谨慎。     

On the finite displacement problem of a hollow cylinder under internal and external pressures

Using the method of successive approximations we find of this boundary-value problem the first-and second-order solutions. And then we obtain the formulae in the second approximation for the displacement, strain, and stress fields. Also, our results show that after deformation (i) a cross-section of the cylinder must be displaced into a plane section perpendicular to the central axis of the cylinder; and (ii) neither the sum of the strain components E _RR ⁽²⁾ and E ⁽²⁾ nor the sum of the stress components E _RR ⁽¹⁾ and E ⁽¹⁾ maintains contant throughout the cylinder. The latter effect, which is absent from classical elasticity, bears respensibility for the presence of the E _ZZ ⁽¹⁾ . Moreover, there exhibits a linear relation between E _ZZ ⁽¹⁾ and (E _RR ⁽²⁾ +E _OO ⁽¹⁾ ), with the proportionality coefficients depending only on the material of the cylinder.     

Direct evaluation of the equivalent linear damping for TLCD systems in random vibration for pre-design purposes

Passive control of structural vibrations has received in recent years a great attention from researchers concerned with vibration control. Several types of devices have been proposed in order to reduce the dynamic responses of different kinds of structural systems. Among them, the Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) proved to be very effective in reducing vibration of structures. Since the increasing use of TLCDs in practical realizations, this paper aims at developing an approximate formulation, by means of a statistical linearization technique, able to estimate the parameters of a structure equipped with a TLCD subjected to random loads for pre-design purposes. Moreover, it is shown that results obtained via Monte Carlo approach on the non-linear system are in good agreement with those obtained by means of the proposed formulation.     

Fluid formulae for damping changeability conceptual design of railway semi-active hydraulic dampers

Damping changeability design and evaluation is the most fundamental issue at the beginning of any new railway semi-active hydraulic damper development. Therefore, physical fluid mechanics for the calculation of basic structure and resistance parameters of the damper should be carefully studied in the conceptual phase. Fluid formulae for changeable damping performance evaluation of two commercial railway semi-active hydraulic dampers are established. Simulation results show that the damper switched by high-speed solenoid valves obtains a wide range of changeable damping coefficients, which guarantees the absorption of a wide spectrum of vibrations; however, a different low cost damper regulated with an inversely proportional relief valve, whose Force-velocity characteristics share the same rising curve, is relatively limited in damping ability. In order to overcome the drawback of the latter one with no obvious cost increase, a new semi-active hydraulic damper which is regulated by a simple proportional throttle valve is proposed. Continued fluid formulation and simulation suggests that the damper can change its damping force rising curves or “effective” damping coefficients continuously, within a considerably wide range. Thus, fluid formulae explicitly established in this study are of significance in the damping changeability conceptual design, further refinement and control design for the three semi-active hydraulic dampers. The proposed new damper, which has both a simple configuration and an easy-to-control ability, might be feasible for industry applications.     

On aspects of damping for a vertical beam with a tuned mass damper at the top

In this paper, the wind-induced, horizontal vibrations of a vertical Euler–Bernoulli beam will be considered. At the top of the beam, a tuned mass damper (TMD) has been installed. The horizontal vibrations can be described by an initial-boundary value problem. Perturbation methods will be applied to construct approximations of the solutions of the initial-boundary value problem, and it will be shown that the TMD uniformly damps the oscillation modes of the beam. In the analysis, it will be assumed that damping, wind-force, and gravity effects are small but not negligible.
