Abstract Design optimization of aircraft engine-mount systems for vibration isolation is presented. The engine is modeled as a rigid body connected to a flexible base representing the nacelle. The base is modeled with mass and stiffness matrices and structural damping using finite element modeling. The mounts are modeled as three-dimensional springs with hysteresis damping. The objective is to select the stiffness coefficients and orientation angles of the individual mounts to minimize the transmitted forces from the engine to the base. Meanwhile, the mounts have to be stiff enough not allowing engine deflection to exceed its limits under static and low frequency loadings. It is shown that with an optimal system the transmitted forces may be reduced significantly particularly when mount orientation angles are also treated as design variables. The optimization problems are solved using a Constraint Variable Metric approach. The closed form derivatives of the engine vibrational amplitudes with respect to design variables are derived in order to achieve a more effective optimization search technique.

The magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a kind of smart material, which is often processed as vibration isolation and mitigation devices to realize the vibration control of the controlled system. The key to the effective isolation of vibration and shock absorption is how to accurately and in real time determine the magnitude of the applied magnetic field according to the motion state of the controlled system. In this paper, an optimal fuzzy fractional-order PID (OFFO-PID) algorithm is proposed to realize the vibration isolation and mitigation control of the precision platform with MRE devices. In the algorithm, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize initial values of the fractional-order PID controller, and the fuzzy algorithm is used to update parameters of the fractional-order PID controller in real time, and the fractional-order PID controller is used to produce the control currents of the MRE devices. Numerical analysis for a platform with the MRE device is carried out to validate the effectiveness of the algorithm. Results show that the OFFO-PID algorithm can effectively reduce the dynamic responses of the precision platform system. Also, compared with the fuzzy fractional-order PID algorithm and the traditional PID algorithm, the OFFO-PID algorithm is better.

A new kind of vibration screening material, Duxseal, with a high damping ratio is proposed to be used as an active vibration barrier in the free field. To investigate the influence of width, thickness, and embedded depth of using Duxseal on vibration reduction, numerical studies are performed using a three-dimensional (3D) semianalytical boundary element method (BEM) combined with a thin-layer method (TLM). The isolation effectiveness of Duxseal in ground vibration is also compared with the traditional wave impeding block (WIB). The numerical results show that Duxseal performed exceedingly well in screening ground vibrations in the free field. The effectiveness of the vibration isolation increases with the increase in the width, thickness, and embedded depth of the Duxseal material, within a certain range, under harmonic vertical excitation. In addition, Duxseal is much more effective for isolating ground vibration than the traditional WIB. The performance of Duxseal in isolating ground vibration is relatively stable along the distance away from the vibration source, while the amplitude attenuation ratio bounces upward when the distance away from the vibration source increases for the WIB isolation system.
