Nonlinear Vibration Absorber

Nonlinear vibration absorbers are known as being frequency-robust but not amplitude-robust devices. This lack of amplitude robustness is due to the frequency-energy dependence of their related nonlinear oscillations. This feature makes the design of nonlinear vibration absorbers a particulary challenging problem. In this paper an innovative design procedure of a nonlinear vibration absorber is proposed so that a nonlinear mode of a nonlinear primary structure can be controlled in a frequency and amplitude robustness fashion.

Abstract Structural dynamic techniques have been proven accurate at predicting the vibrations of single parts (i.e., monolithic specimens), which are widely used in industrial applications. However, vibration analysis of such assemblies often exhibits high variability or nonrepeatability due to jointed interfaces. Inspired by advances in additive manufacturing (AM) and nonlinear vibration absorber theory, this research seeks to redesign jointed structures in an attempt to reduce the nonlinear effects introduced by the jointed interfaces. First, the nonlinear dynamics of a conventionally manufactured beam and an AM beam are measured in both a traditional (flat) lap joint assembly and also a “linearized” lap joint configuration (termed the small pad). Second, the internal structure of the AM beam is varied by printing specimens with internal vibration absorbers. With the two interface geometries studied in this experiment, the flat interface is found to be predominantly nonlinear, and introducing a vibration absorber fails to reduce the nonlinearities from the jointed interface. The small-pad responses are relatively linear in the range of excitation used in the analysis, and the nonlinear effects are further reduced with the presence of a center vibration absorber. Overall, the energy dissipation at the interface is highly dependent on the design of the contact interface and the internal vibration absorber. Adding a nonlinear vibration absorber alone is insufficient to negate the interfacial nonlinearity from the assembly; therefore, future work is needed to study the shape, location, and material for the design and fabrication of nonlinear vibration absorbers.

Piezoelectric Vibration

In this research, a nonlinear shunted piezoelectric is proposed for practical realization of nonlinear vibration absorbers. The main advantage of the electro-mechanical system is that non-linearity can be readily achieved by proper circuit design. First, the dynamics of a SDOF linear mechanical oscillator coupled to a nonlinear shunted piezoelectric attachment is studied. Both the nonlinear normal modes and the nonlinear forced response of the electro-mechanical system are investigated. Numerical simulation reveals that under certain condition, a fast, passive energy transfer from the mechanical oscillator to the piezoelectric attachment is observed. The essentially nonlinear absorber is also able to work over broad frequency band under periodic excitation with a smaller inductance requirement compared with the linear piezoelectric vibration absorber. The application of piezoelectric vibration absorbers to simplified blade-disk structures is also taken into consideration. It is shown that when blades become mistuned, the nonlinear vibration absorber yields better vibration mitigation performance than the linear shunt circuit does. Namely, the blade mistuned vibration could be reduced by the nonlinear effect in the piezoelectric absorber. However, to improve the performance of piezoelectric-based vibration absorber, a systematic and rigorous study of the optimal tuning design deserves further investigation.

Abstract A one-term approximate solution is given for the amplitudes of steady forced vibration of a single-degree-of-freedom system with a nonlinear (nonsymmetrical) spring characteristic. The method is similar to that of Martienssen (1), but the construction uses a modified curve (or “frequency function”) in place of the actual spring characteristic, the curve being so chosen that it gives the correct frequency for free vibrations. The method is extended to deal with a nonlinear vibration absorber fitted to a linear system.
