The effective damping approach to design a dynamic vibration absorber using Coriolis force

In this paper, the vibration reduction of a pendulum structure with dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) using Coriolis force is investigated. When the pendulum structure is subjected to a single harmonic excitation, the effective damping of Coriolis force is used with the second-order approximations to obtain the closed forms of optimal parameters of the DVA. The closed forms obtained show that the natural frequency of the absorber should be tuned to twice that of the pendulum. The closed forms of optimal parameters are verified by numerical optimization. The modified forms of optimal parameters are proposed to be used in case of general excitation. Base on this modified form, the design procedure is demonstrated by the numerical calculation of the free vibration and wind-induced vibration of a ropeway gondola.     

Dynamic vibration absorbers for vibration control within a frequency band

The use of dynamic vibration absorbers to control the vibration of a structure in both narrow and broadbands is discussed in this paper. As a benchmark problem, a plate incorporating multiple vibration absorbers is formulated, leading to an analytical solution when the number of absorbers yields one. Using this analytical solution, control mechanisms of the vibration absorber in different frequency bandwidths are studied; the coupling properties due to the introduction of the absorber into the host structure are analyzed; and the control performance of the absorber in different control bandwidths is examined with respect to its damping and location. It is found that the interaction between the plate and the absorber by means of the reaction force from the absorber plays a dominant role in a narrow band control, while in a relatively broadband control the dissipation by the absorber damping governs the control performance. When control bandwidth further enlarges, the optimal locations of the absorbers are not only affected by the targeted mode, but also by the other plate modes. These locations need to be determined after establishing a trade-off between the targeted mode and other modes involved in the coupling. Finally, numerical findings are assessed based on a simply-supported plate and a fair agreement between the predicted and measured results is obtained.

A practical inexpensive mechanism for effecting improved Rayleigh resolution in a random access deflector without sacrificing its performance has been constructed. It comprises an acousto-optic deflector in the form of a flat transducer grating, made from a single piezoelectric platelet. The deflector steers the acoustic column to track the Bragg angle as the acoustic frequency changes.

A application of genetic algorithm in designing omnidirectional reflectors is reported in this paper. Based on different quasi-periodic dielectric multilayer stacks, we give some optimization examples concerning both quart-wave and non quart-wave systems, and finally we achieve a photonic heterostructure with very broad omnidirectional reflection bandwidth.     

Broad omnidirectional high-precision filters design using genetic algorithm

An application of the genetic algorithm in designing omnidirectional optical filters is reported in this paper. Concerning different periodic numbers and thickness ratios in the heterostructure, we gave some optimization examples and finally achieved a photonic heterostructure with very broad omnidirectional filter bandwidth as well as a very narrow transmission window. And it is found that when the normal incident beam is tilted at a negligibly small angle, the perfect transmittance peak will vanish. Hence, this heterostructure can be regarded as omnidirectional high-precision filters with potential application in optical filters, optical switches, and many other optical telecommunication areas.

Passive vibration control of a satellite boom structure by geometric optimization using genetic algorithm

In this paper, the superior mid-frequency vibration isolation of a geometrically optimized lightweight structure is demonstrated. The initial structure under test here was a 4.5 m long satellite boom consisting of 10 identical bays with equilateral triangular cross-sections. An unusual geometric variant of this, with inherent isolation characteristics, has been designed by the use of genetic algorithm (GA) methods. In order to obtain the best design, the joints in the boom were allowed to move around by 20% of the length of each bay (i.e., ±9 cm in all three translational directions). This work is based on results from a Fortran code (which was derived from receptance analysis) that are fully validated against detailed finite element (FE) models of the structure. The experimental forced response of the regular boom structure has been measured and compared with predicted curves. Finally, having obtained the geometrically optimized boom structure, its experimental response is compared with the theoretical results predicted by the receptance method. It is shown that the average of 30 dB isolation in the vibration energy transfer between the ends of the network of beams, over a 100 Hz bandwidth predicted in the design process, is achieved experimentally in an essentially undamped structure.     

Experimental evaluation of a piezoelectric vibration absorber using a simplified fuzzy controller in a cantilever beam

This study presents a novel resonant fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to minimize structural vibration using collocated piezoelectric actuator/sensor pairs. The proposed fuzzy controller increases the damping of the structures to minimize certain resonant responses. The vibration absorber is first experimentally examined by a cantilever beam test bed for impulse and near-resonant excitation cases. Moreover, the effectiveness of the new fuzzy control design to a state-of-the-art control scheme is compared through the experimental studies. The experimental results indicate the proposed controller is highly promising for this application field. Our results further demonstrate that the fuzzy approach is much better than traditional control methods. In summary, a novel vibration absorption scheme using fuzzy logic has been demonstrated to significantly enhance the performance of a flexible structure with resonant response.

Broad band frequency tuning of a He-Xe laser with a superconducting solenoid

A magnetic field of up to 70 kOe produced by a superconducting solenoid is applied to the 3.5 μm He-Xe laser oscillator along its axial direction. The laser frequency is then tuned to an extent of ±105 GHz. The tuning coverage of 7 cm⁻¹ achieved here is more than ten times broader than that of any existing atomic gas laser. The laser tube is so designed as to stabilize the electric discharge in the magnetic field. The small irregularity of the frequency tuning characteristics is reduced by the use of enriched xenon-136 isotope in the He-Xe laser. We describe the design of the apparatus and the performance of the magnetically tunable laser with a broad tuning range.     

Broad band random excitation of a two-degree-of-freedom system with autoparametric coupling

The response of a two-degree-of-freedom system with autoparametric coupling under the action of broad band random excitation is investigated. The system corresponds to the autoparametric vibration absorber and is also typical of many common structural configurations. A method based upon the Markov vector approach, together with an approximate treatment of third and higher statistical moments, is used to derive a set of fourteen coupled non-linear equations for the first and second moments of the system responses. A numerical integration procedure is used to obtain quantitative results for the system mean and mean square responses over a range of system parameters.The results show that large random motions of the coupled system may occur when the internal detuning parameter is close to the principal internal resonance, and that these motions may give rise to a suppression effect on the random motions of the main system. A feature of the results is that under conditions of internal resonance the random motions are found to be quasi-stationary, with steady oscillatory terms in the response moments. This suggests the possibility of entrainment of regular harmonic responses by the system random motions.     

Feedback controller design for tracking a single fluorescent molecule

In this paper, we revisit the problem of tracking a single fluorescent molecule in a laser-scanning confocal microscope. We utilize optimal control theory to design a feedback controller and use numerical simulation to analyze its ability to track a molecule in two dimensions. A major theme in this paper is the inclusion of all relevant experimental limitations including moderate signal-to-noise fluorescence detection and the finite-bandwidth response of an electromechanical translation stage. The results presented here demonstrate the experimental feasibility of tracking single fluorescent molecules with diffusion coefficients as large as 0.1 m²/ms. We show that for molecules that are even moderately confined along a third dimension (as, for example, by microscope cover slides), the two-dimensional tracking algorithm appears to be robust and effective. We expect this technology to enable single-molecule experiments with long observation times and high time-resolution. PACS 87.64.Tt; 87.64.Ni; 87.15.Vv     

Geometric phase for mixed states: a differential geometric approach

A new definition and interpretation of the geometric phase for mixed state cyclic unitary evolution in quantum mechanics are presented. The pure state case is formulated in a framework involving three selected principal fiber bundles, and the well-known Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau symplectic structure on (co-) adjoint orbits associated with Lie groups. It is shown that this framework generalizes in a natural and simple manner to the mixed state case. For simplicity, only the case of rank two mixed state density matrices is considered in detail. The extensions of the ideas of null phase curves and Pancharatnam lifts from pure to mixed states are also presented.     

Broad band enhanced infrared light absorption of a femtosecond laser microstructured silicon

Absorptive properties of surface-structured silicon prepared by femtosecond laser pulses irradiating in SF₆ or N₂ are measured in a wide wavelength range of 0.3–16.0 μm. The SF₆-prepared surface-structured silicon shows enhanced light absorptance up to 80% or more in the entire measured wavelength range. The absorptance for N₂_prepared surface-structured silicon in the wavelength range of 9–14 µm is similar to that of a SF₆-prepared sample, although it decreases to about 30% in the wavelength range of 2–7 µm. Light absorption varies with the height and density of the spikes formed on silicon surfaces.     

Attractive electron-electron interaction induced by geometric phase in a Bloch band

Attractive interaction between electrons(or neutral fermions)is responsible for superconductivity(or superfluidity).In condensed matter systems,attractive interaction is usually induced by the boson-exchange mechanism[1].Indeed,in the celebrated Bardeen-Cooper-Schreiffer(BCS)theory,electrons develop attractive interaction by exchanging phonons[2].Subsequent studies show that other collective excitations such as charge density waves[3]and spin fluctuations[4]can also induce attractive interaction.The bosonexchange mechanism,together with the concept of Cooperpair,is considered to be the cornerstone of the modern theory of superconductivity.

A nonlinear controller design for permanent magnet motors using a synchronization-based technique inspired from the Lorenz system

The dynamic behavior of a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is analyzed. Nominal and special operating conditions are explored to show that the PMSM can experience chaos. A nonlinear controller is introduced to control these unwanted chaotic oscillations and to bring the PMSM to a stable steady state. The designed controller uses a pole-placement approach to force the closed-loop system to follow the performance of a simple first-order linear system with zero steady-state error to a desired set point. The similarity between the mathematical model of the PMSM and the famous chaotic Lorenz system is utilized to design a synchronization-based state observer using only the angular speed for feedback. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller in eliminating the chaotic oscillations while using a single feedback signal. The superiority of the proposed controller is further demonstrated by comparing it with a conventional PID controller. Finally, a laboratory-based experiment was conducted using the MCK2812 C Pro-MS(BL) motion control kit to confirm the theoretical results and to verify both the causality and versatility of the proposed controller.
