A design strategy to simultaneously mitigate the effects of both shock and vibration is introduced. The proposed isolation mount is a passive, transitioning mount and consists of sliding friction elements in series connection with springs and dampers. A linear and a displacement dependent viscous damper are considered, while linear, hardening and softening springs, are considered. The isolation mount’s response is determined by numerical simulation. For a single-degree-of-freedom system, the tradeoff curve for a half-sine velocity input is determined, as is the nonlinear transmissibility for harmonic excitation. The method is found to achieve satisfactory isolation against shock events as well as persistent harmonic inputs. The suggested mount configuration was also found to have good performance against a ‘combined’ input with both resonant and transient content.

Isolation Systems

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.

This paper includes the study of behavior of a single degree of freedom system with viscous dampers subjected to harmonic excitation. In this study one story building is considered. The mathematical model of building subjected to harmonic excitation is obtained and its solution is obtained by state space method. The viscous damper is considered for the building with different percentage of damping. The response of building under resonance and non-resonance condition is obtained and it is observed that it can be significantly reduced by installing viscous damper. It is further observed that the linear viscous damper is more effective in reducing the responses for resonance case.

This paper considers the use of a chain of translating carts or housings having internally rotating eccentric masses in order to accomplish vibration isolation. First a single degree-of-freedom system is harmonically excited to uncover the qualitative behavior of each rotating mass. The simple model is then expanded into a chain of housings, containing rotating eccentric masses, which are interconnected with springs. The internal rotating eccentric masses are damped along their circular pathway by means of linear viscous damping. Due to the lack of elastic or gravitational constraint on the rotating eccentric masses, they provide a nonlinear inertial coupling to their housings. Previous research has shown that such systems are capable of reducing shock or impulsive loading by converting some of the translational kinetic energy into rotational kinetic energy of the internal masses. This paper examines the potential for vibration isolation of a chain of such systems subjected to persistent, harmonic excitation. It is seen that the dynamics of these systems is very complicated, but that trends are observed which have implications for practical isolation systems. Using simulation studies, tradeoffs are examined between displacement and transmitted force for a range of physical parameter values.

This paper provides a review of active control strategies used to isolate high-precisionmachines (e.g. telescopes, particle colliders, interferometers, lithography machines or atomic force microscopes) from external disturbances. The objective of this review is to provide tools to develop the best strategy for a given application. Firstly, the main strategies are presented and compared, using single degree of freedom models. Secondly, the case of huge structures constituted of a large number of elements, like particle colliders or segmented telescopes, is considered.

SUMMARYIn this paper, we consider the problem of rest-to-rest maneu-ver learning, via iterative learning control (ILC), for single-degree-of-freedom systems with stick-slip Coulomb friction and input bounds. The static coefficient of friction is allowed to be as large as three times the kinetic coefficient of friction. The input is restricted to be a two-pulse one. The desired input's first pulse magnitude is required to be five times the largest possible kinetic (sliding) friction force. The theory therefore allows the stiction force to be as large as the desired second input pulse. Under these conditions, we prove global convergence of a simple iterative learning controller. To the best of our knowledge, such a global-convergence proof has not been presented previously in the literature for the rest-to-rest problem with stick-slip Coulomb friction.

The conventional single-degree-of-freedom approach to isolator design dealt with in most undergraduate curricula, is not always adequate for the design of practical isolator systems. In this article, an optimization approach to the design problem is presented and the viability of the approach demonstrated. It is, however, also shown that multiple local minima may exist and that due care should be exercised in the application of the method.

Model Equations

We consider the dynamic response of a single degree of freedom system with preloaded, or “setup,” springs. This is a simple model for systems where preload is used to suppress vibrations. The springs are taken to be linear and harmonic excitation is applied; damping is assumed to be of linear viscous type. Using the piecewise linear features of the model equations we determine the amplitude and stability of the periodic responses and carry out a bifurcation analysis for these motions. Some parameter regions which contain no simple stable periodic motions are shown to possess chaotic motions.

A new sandwich beam with embedded multiresonators is presented. Two continuum Timoshenko beam models are adopted for modeling sandwich beams. Numerical results show that multiple resonators can lead to multiple resonant-type bandgaps with remarkable wave attenuation. The effective mass is found to become negative for frequencies in the bandgaps where the wave is greatly attenuated. With two identical resonators connected in parallel, only one single bandgap can be found. If two resonators with equal masses and springs are connected in series, the central frequency of the second bandgap is approximated twice of the central frequency of the first gap. For the beam with series-connected resonators, a simple two degrees-of-freedom system is proposed and used for predicting the initial frequencies of the bandgaps while for the beam with resonators in parallel, two separate single degree-of-freedom systems are introduced.

The problem of shock generated vibration is presented and analyzed. The fundamental background is explained based on the analysis of a single degree-of-freedom model with passive stiffness and damping. The advantages and limitations of such a shock mount are discussed. Afterwards, different semi-active strategies involving variable damping are presented. These strategies have been used for harmonic excitation but it is not clear how they will perform during a shock. This paper analyzes the different variable damping schemes already used for harmonic vibration in order to find any potential advantages or issues for theoretical shock pulses.
