This paper concentrates on the random vibration suppression of a regular straight beam by using an inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber. For a wideband random point-driven straight beam with an inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber, the distribution of mean-square velocity response along the axis of the straight beam as well as the mean kinetic energy of the whole beam are first analytically derived through the classical linear random vibration theory. Two optimization objectives are established to determine the optimal design parameters: (1) minimizing the maximal mean-square velocity along the axis of the straight beam, which corresponds to the maximal mean kinetic energy density along the axis and (2) minimizing the mean kinetic energy of the whole beam. Numerical search gives the optimal location and the associated optimal parameters of the inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber. Numerical results for a simply supported straight beam illustrate the better performance of an inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber than a traditional dynamic vibration absorber. Parametric sensitivity studies for the robustness analysis of the beam response to deviations from the optimal parameters are conducted. The optimal location locates on the force-excited point, while the suboptimal location locates on its symmetry position. Furthermore, the optimal and suboptimal locations remain invariable regardless of the upper cutoff frequency of band-limited noise, which is fairly important to the location optimization of the inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber.

Dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is a simple and effective device for vibration absorption used in many practical applications. Determination of suitable parameters for DVA is of significant importance to achieve high vibration reduction effectiveness. This paper presents a   method to find the optimal parameters of a DVA attached to a linear damped rotary system excited by harmonic torque. To this end, a closed-form formula for the optimum tuning parameter is derived using the fixed-point theory based on an assumption that the damped rotary systems are lightly or moderately damped. The optimal damping ratio of DVA is found by solving a set of non-linear equations established by the Chebyshev's min-max criterion. The performance of the proposed optimal DVA is compared with that obtained by existing optimal solution in literature. It is shown that the proposed optimal parameters are possible to obtain superior vibration suppression compared to existing optimal formula. Extended simulations are carried out to examine the performance of the optimally designed DVA and the sensitivity of the optimum parameters. The simulation results show that the improvement of the vibration performance on damped rotary system can be as much as 90% by using DVA.

The dynamic vibration absorber and tuned mass damper are widely used to suppress harmful vibration of the damped structures under external excitation. The multiple dynamic vibration absorbers have more benefit than the single dynamic vibration absorber. The multiple dynamic vibration absorbers are portability and easy to install because its size is significantly reduced compared to an individual damper. This paper proposes a design method to obtain optimal parameters of multiple dynamic vibration absorbers attached on damped primary structures by using the least squares estimation of equivalent linearization method. An explicit expression of damping ratio and tuning parameters of multiple dynamic vibration absorbers are determined for minimizing the maximum displacement of the primary structures based on the fixed-point theory. The new contribution is provided a reliable theoretical basis for optimizing parameters of the multiple dynamic vibration absorbers that are attached on the damped primary structures. The numerical results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed optimal parameters of multiple dynamic vibration absorbers in reduce vibration of damped primary structures. In the practical applications, this research results allow to divide a large dynamic vibration absorber into many equivalent small dynamic vibration absorbers, which are convenient for manufacturing and installing on the damped primary structures such as high buildings and cable-stayed bridges.

This study is concerned with the problem of analysis and optimization of inerter-based systems. A main inerter system is generally composed of an inerter, a spring, and viscous damper. Series – parallel inerter system s and series inerter system s are two commonly used configurations of inerter-based system s . First , in this study , the H∞ optimum parameters of inerter-based isolators are derived to minimize the compliance and mobility transfer function of a single-degree -of-freedom system under a harmonic ground acceleration excitation. Under the optimum tuning condition, it is shown that the proposed inerter-based isolators when compared with the traditional dynamic vibration absorber provide larger suppression of the peak value of the magnitude of compliance and mobility transfer function s of the primary system. For the studied cases, more than 40% and 45% improvement can be attained in terms of minimizing the compliance and mobility transfer function s , respectively, as compared with the traditional dynamic vibration absorber for the series – parallel inerter system and 15% and 11% improvement can be attained respectively , for the series inerter system . Finally, further comparison between the inerter-based isolators and traditional dynamic vibration absorber under white noise excitation also shows that the series – parallel inerter system and series inerter system s are superior to the traditional dynamic vibration absorber . The results of the studied systems show that m ore than 23% and 16% improvement are attained in terms of minimizing the compliance and mobility transfer function s respectively , as compared with the traditional dynamic vibration absorber for the series – parallel inerter system and 26% and 13% improvement can be attained respectively , for the series inerter system . The optimal parameters for different cases are obtained. It is shown that the optimal parameters obtained using the minimized mobility transfer function are smaller than those using the compliance transfer function at all mass ratios or inertance-to-mass ratio. The results of this study can provide theoretical basis for design of the optimal inerter-based isolators in engineering practice.

There are two types of dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) for vibration reduction of a pendulum structure. The first one moving in the tangential direction of the pendulum's orbit can reduce all kinds of vibrations but the effectiveness is quite poor when the DVA locates near the centre of oscillation. Conversely, the second one moving in the normal direction of the pendulum's orbit can only reduce large vibration but has a good effect when the DVA's location is near the centre of oscillation. In this article, the authors propose the DVA, which can move in the normal and tangential directions at the same time. The proposed DVA can overcome the shortcoming of two DVAs moving in only one direction. Because the system's non-linearity is quite complex, a numerical method is used for obtaining the optimal parameters. Then, the authors introduce the convenient empirical formulas of optimal parameters based on the numerical results. The effect of the proposed DVA is demonstrated by the numerical calculations of free vibration of a ropeway gondola.
