Base Structure

Vibration isolation devices are used to attach various systems to their base structure to reduce the transmission of vibration from and/or to the base structure. Vibration isolation devices allow relative motion between the isolated system and the base platform. This relative motion is critical to the effective operation of vibration isolation devices and is used to absorb or divert vibration energy using spring and viscous damping or dry friction elements. In general, larger the allowed relative motion, more effective will be the performance of the isolation system. In certain applications, the introduced relative motion by the vibration isolation device introduces unavoidable and unwanted motion of the isolated system and can significantly degrade its performance, particularly in terms of positioning precision, or limit the range of allowable relative motion, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the isolation system. In this paper, a novel method is presented that uses appropriate linkage mechanisms to constrain relative motions that are introduced by the vibration isolation system that are not necessary for the proper operation of the vibration isolation system but their presence would degrade the performance of the entire system. As an example, a novel double-parallelogram based motion constraining mechanism is presented, which is used to constrain rotational (rocking) motion of an isolation system without hindering its relative translational motion used for vibration isolation. The design of a prototype of such a linkage mechanism used to isolate payloads from launch vehicles during the launch and the results of its successful testing are presented. Other applications of the present method are discussed.

Vibration Isolation Performance

The vibration isolation system using a pair of oblique springs or a spring-rod mechanism as a negative stiffness mechanism exhibits a high-static low-dynamic stiffness characteristic and a nonlinear jump phenomenon when the system damping is light and the excitation amplitude is large. It is possible to remove the jump via adjusting the end trajectories of the above springs or rods. To realize this idea, the article presents a vibration isolation system with a cam–roller–spring–rod mechanism and gives the detailed numerical and experimental studies on the effects of the above mechanism on the vibration isolation performance. The comparative studies demonstrate that the vibration isolation system proposed works well and outperforms some other vibration isolation systems.

At the present, the improvement of vibration isolation systems for equipment, machines and units remains an urgent task. The ways to solve this problem are based on the optimization of existing structures, the development and application of new vibration-insulating elements as well as the improvement of design methods. In particular, to ensure the reliable functioning of agricultural machines, units, working elements and other mechanization means for the technological processes of agricultural production one of the perspective areas is the use of hydraulic vibra-tion mounts in suspension systems for units. This type of mounts is used to mount engines, cabins of agricultural vehicles, and power units. This paper discusses the simu-lation of the dynamic behavior of a power unit attached to a fixed base by the hydraulic mounts. It is proposed to use approximating functions modelling real stiffness character-istics of the mounts. A comparative analysis with a similar design using rubber-metal mounts as vibration-insulating elements is presented.

AbstractThis work studies the influence of a vibration isolator on the response of a flexible base structure. Two strategies are compared: passive and active vibration isolation (PVI, AVI). Although the multiple advantages of AVI over PVI techniques are well known, their effect in the base structure has not to date been compared. This interaction has an important role in the performance of the general control system, especially when the vibration isolation system is not the only system on the base structure or when there are multiple isolators working simultaneously on it. In addition, the structural serviceability of the base structure can also be affected. The analysis of the vibration isolation problem is made from a wide perspective, including the effect that isolator has on the base structure. Hence assuming the base structure is a non-rigid system. The effect of the isolation system on the base response is studied for an extensive range of base structures, thus showing different possible scenarios. The influence is quantified by comparing the peak magnitude response of the base when both passive and active vibration isolation techniques are used. The theoretical results have been corroborated by undertaking experimental tests on a full-scale laboratory structure.

A vibration isolation system is presented in this paper which is developed by the combination of multiple vibration isolation modules. Each module is fabricated by connecting a positive stiffness suspension in series with a negative stiffness suspension. Each vibration isolation module can be considered as a self-sufficient single-degree-of-freedom vibration isolation system. 3-DOF vibration isolation system can be developed by combining three modules. As the number of motions to be controlled and the number of actuators are equal, there is no redundancy in actuators in such vibration isolation systems. Experimental results are presented to verify the proposed concept of the development of MDOF vibration isolation system using vibration isolation modules.

Cryogenic Cooler

A spaceborne cryogenic cooler induces undesirable microvibration disturbances during its on-orbit operation, which is one of the main sources that degrades the image quality of submeter-level high-resolution observation satellites. Several types of vibration isolation systems based on passive approaches have been developed for reducing the microvibration of the cooler. A coil-spring-type passive vibration isolation system developed in a previous study has shown excellent performance in both launch vibration and on-orbit microvibration isolation. To improve the capability of the conventional cooler isolator, including the position sensitivity and launch vibration reduction, we propose a new version of a dual coil-spring-type passive vibration isolator system. The effectiveness of the newly proposed design was validated through a microjitter measurement test, position sensitivity test, and qualification-level launch vibration test of the isolator.

The article deals with probability analysis for a vibration isolation system of sensitive equipment. Vibration isolation system is subjected to external base vibrations due to ambient oscillations (background noise). Considering Gauss distribution for ambient vibrations, we estimate the probability when the relative displacement of isolated mass will still be lower than the vibration criteria. The problem is solved in three-dimensional space, evolved by the system parameters damping and natural frequency. According to this probability distribution, the chance of exceeding vibration criteria for a vibration isolation system is evaluated and different vibration isolation systems are compared.

In this study, the theoretical and experimental investigations of the dynamics of complex passive low-frequency vibration systems are described. It is shown that a complex system consisting of a vibrating platform, an optical table and a vibration isolation system of quasi-zero stiffness loaded by a certain mass may isolate low-frequency vibrations in a narrow frequency range only. In another case, the system does not isolate vibrations; it even operates as an amplifier. The frequencies that ensure the top efficiency of the vibration damping system of quasi-zero stiffness were established.

Undesired oscillations commonly encountered in engineering practice can be harmful to structures and machinery. Vibration isolation systems are used to attenuate undesired oscillations. Recently, there has been growing interest in nonlinear approaches towards vibration isolation systems design. This work is focused on investigating the effect of nonlinear cubic viscous damping in a vibration isolation system consisting of a magnetic spring with a positive nonlinear stiffness, and a mechanical oblique spring with geometric nonlinear negative stiffness. Dynamic model of the vibration isolation system is obtained and the harmonic balance method (HBM) is used to solve the governing dynamic equation. Additionally, fourth order Runge–Kutta numerical simulation is used to obtain displacement transmissibility of the system under investigation. Results obtained from numerical simulation are in good agreement with those obtained using HBM. Results show that introducing nonlinear damping improves the performance of the vibration isolation system. Nonlinear damping purposefully introduced into the described vibration isolation system appears to eliminate undesired frequency jump phenomena traditionally encountered in quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolation systems. Compared to its rival linear vibration isolation system, the described nonlinear system transmits less vibrations around resonant peak. At lower frequencies, both nonlinear and linear isolation systems show comparable transmissibility characteristics.
