Tuning Strategy

Abstract A semi-active vibration absorber with adaptive capability is presented to improve wide band vibration suppression characteristics of harmonically excited structures. The absorber subsection consists of a double-ended cantilever beam carrying an intermediate lumped mass. The adaptive capability is achieved through concurrent adjustment of the position of the moving mass, along the beam, to comply with the desired optimal performance. If such an absorber is attached to a vibrating body, it effectively absorbs vibrations at all frequencies that belong to the absorber frequency bandwidth. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed absorption scheme. It is shown that the tuning strategy tries to follow and match the absorber natural frequency with the excitation frequency. The optimally tuned absorber provides considerable vibration suppression improvement over the passive and de-tuned absorbers, for wide band excitation disturbances.

Near Resonance

The dynamics of a resonantly excited thin cantilever with an active controller are investigated experimentally. The controller mimics a passive wideband absorber discussed in [1]. PZT patches are bonded to both sides of the beam to actuate it, while an electromagnetic shaker drives the beam near resonance. An active controller consisting of an array of uncoupled controllers is developed, such that the governing equations for the controller are quadratically coupled to the resonating system. The control signal, in terms of the motion of the controllers, is quadratically nonlinear. The controller is implemented using a modelling software and a controller hardware board. Two sets of experiments are performed: one with a constant excitation frequency and the other with a linearly varying excitation frequency at a slow rate (non-stationary excitation). The experimental results verify the analysis presented for the passive wideband autoparametric vibration absorber. They also demonstrate the effectiveness of the absorber in reducing the response amplitude of structures, and its robustness to frequency mistuning.

Tuned Vibration Absorber

An adaptive tuned vibration absorber (ATVA) with a smart variable stiffness element is capable of retuning itself in response to a time-varying excitation frequency, enabling effective vibration control over a range of frequencies. This paper discusses novel methods of achieving variable stiffness in an ATVA by changing shape, as inspired by biological paradigms. It is shown that considerable variation in the tuned frequency can be achieved by actuating a shape change, provided that this is within the limits of the actuator. A feasible design for such an ATVA is one in which the device offers low resistance to the required shape change actuation while not being restricted to low values of the effective stiffness of the vibration absorber. Three such original designs are identified: (i) A pinned–pinned arch beam with fixed profile of slight curvature and variable preload through an adjustable natural curvature; (ii) a vibration absorber with a stiffness element formed from parallel curved beams of adjustable curvature vibrating longitudinally; (iii) a vibration absorber with a variable geometry linkage as stiffness element. The experimental results from demonstrators based on two of these designs show good correlation with the theory.
