Nonlinear Vibration Control of a System with Dry Friction and Viscous Damping Using the Saturation Phenomenon

Application of saturation to provide active nonlinear vibration control was introduced not long ago. Saturation occurs when two natural frequencies of a system with quadratic nonlinearities are in a ratio of around 2:1 and the system is excited at a frequency near its higher natural frequency. Under these conditions, there is a small upper limit for the high-frequency response and the rest of the input energy is channeled to the low-frequency mode. In this way, the vibration of one of the degrees of freedom of a coupled 2 degrees of freedom system is attenuated. In the present paper, the effect of dry friction on the response of a system that implements this vibration absorber is discussed. The system is basically a plant with a permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor excited by a harmonic forcing term and coupled with a quadratic nonlinear controller. The absorber is built in electric circuitry and takes advantage of the saturation phenomenon. The method of multiple scales is used to find approximate solutions. Various response regimes of the closed-loop system as well as the stability of these regimes are studied and the stability boundaries are obtained. Especial attention is paid on the effect of dry friction on the stability boundaries. It is shown that while dry friction tends to shrink the stable region in some parts, it enlarges other parts of the stable region. To verify the theoretical results, they have been compared with numerical solution and good agreement between the two is observed.This work was done while the authors were associated with the Mechanical Engineering Department, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.     

Vibration suppression of a time-varying stiffness AMB bearing to multi-parametric excitations via time delay controller

The applications of active magnetic bearings are growing in industry due to its amazing advantages in reducing friction losses. In this research, the vibration of a two-degree-of-freedom rotor, active magnetic bearings system is suppressed via a nonlinear time delay controller at the confirmed worst resonance case. The selected resonance case is the simultaneous primary and sub-harmonic resonance case. The main aim of this paper was to study the effects of the nonlinear, time delay controller on the behavior of the vibrating system. The multiple time scale perturbation technique is applied to obtain an approximate solution to the second-order approximation. The steady-state solution is obtained around the worst resonance case. The stability of the system is studied applying both frequency response equations and phase-plane method. The worst resonance case is confirmed applying numerical technique. The effects of the different parameters on the steady-state response of the vibrating system are investigated. The obtained approximate solution is validated numerically. Some recommendations are given regarding the design of such system. At the end of the work, a comparison is made with the available published work.     

Active vibration control of a nonlinear magnetic levitation system via Nonlinear Saturation Controller (NSC)

In this paper, a nonlinear saturation controller (NSC) is proposed to reduce the horizontal vibration of a magnetically levitated body described by a nonlinear differential equation. An approximate solution is obtained applying the multiple scales perturbation technique to analyze the nonlinear behavior of this model. Based on the quadratic coupling, the energy transfer between the main system and the controller is achieved by designing the natural frequency of the NSC to be close to one half of the natural frequency of the main system. Time histories of the main system and the controller are included to show the response with and without control. Validation curves are included to show the closeness between the perturbation solution and the numerical one. A comparison with previously published work is included.

Control of a Nonlinear System Using the Saturation Phenomenon

In this paper, a theoretical investigation of nonlinear vibrations of a 2 degrees of freedom system when subjected to saturation is studied. The method has been especially applied to a system that consists of a DC motor with a nonlinear controller and a harmonic forcing voltage. Approximate solutions are sought using the method of multiple scales. It is shown that the closed-loop system exhibits different response regimes. The nature and stability of these regimes are studied and the stability boundaries are obtained. The effects of the initial conditions on the response of the system have also been investigated. Furthermore, the second-order solution is presented and the corresponding results are compared with those of the first-order solution. It is shown that by increasing the amplitude of the excitation voltage, the higher-order term in the solution becomes significant and causes a drift in the response. In order to verify the obtained theoretical results, they are compared with the corresponding numerical results. Good agreement between the two sets of results is observed.

Nonlinear vibration analysis of functionally graded beams considering the influences of the rotary inertia of the cross section and neutral surface position

In the paper work, the nonlinear vibration response of functionally graded (FG) Euler–Bernoulli beam resting on elastic foundation is studied. Based on von Kármán’s geometric nonlinearity, the partial differential governing equations describing the nonlinear vibration of FG Euler–Bernoulli beam are derived from Hamilton’s principle and are reduced to an ordinary nonlinear differential equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms via Galerkin’s procedure. Due to unsymmetrical material variation along the thickness of FG beam, the neutral surface concept is proposed to remove the stretching and bending coupling effect and the rotary inertia of the cross section is incorporated to obtain an analytical solution. Numerical results are presented to show the effects of the nonlocal parameters and vibration amplitude on the frequency responses. This results may be useful in design and engineering applications.

Forced Vibration of Continuous System with Unsymmetrical Collision Characteristics

This paper deals with steady-state response of a continuous system with nonlinear boundary conditions which are motion-limiting constraint. An analytical method of approximate solution for the continuous system with unsymmetrical collision characteristics in which the beam end collides with a stop once in one period of its vibration is presented. Some numerical results of the approximate solution are shown. Contrary to the case of continuous system with symmetrical collision characteristics, the resonance curves of nonlinear response of approximate solution are shown as discontinuous line. Some numerical results of a continuous system with no hysteresis damping are compared with those of a continuous system with hysteresis damping and a single-degree-of-freedom system.     

Effects of anti-symmetric nonlinear viscous damping on the force transmissibility of multi-degree of freedom structures

In the present study, the concept of the output frequency response function is applied to theoretically investigate the force transmissibility of multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) structures with a nonlinear anti-symmetric viscous damping. The results reveal that an anti-symmetric nonlinear viscous damping can significantly reduce the transmissibility over all resonance regions for MDOF structures while it has almost no effect on the transmissibility over non-resonant and isolation regions. The results indicate that the vibration isolators with an anti-symmetric damping characteristic have great potential to overcome the dilemma in the design of linear viscously damped vibration isolators where an increase of the damping level reduces the force transmissibility over resonant region but increases the transmissibility over non-resonant regions.     

Axial control for nonlinear resonances of electrostatically actuated nanobeam with graphene sensor

The nonlinear resonance response of an electrostatically actuated nanobeam is studied over the near-half natural frequency with an axial capacitor controller. A graphene sensor deformed by the vibrations of the nanobeam is used to produce the voltage signal.The voltage of the vibration graphene sensor is used as a control signal input to a closedloop circuit to mitigate the nonlinear vibration of the nanobeam. An axial control force produced by the axial capacitor controller can transform the frequency-amplitude curves from nonlinear to linear. The necessary and sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the system stability and a saddle-node bifurcation are studied. The numerical simulations are conducted for uniform nanobeams. The nonlinear terms of the vibration system can be transformed into linear ones by applying the critical control voltage to the system. The nonlinear vibration phenomena can be avoided, and the vibration amplitude is mitigated evidently with the axial capacitor controller.
