This study discusses a method of combining the acoustic black hole (ABH) concept and dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) together as a lightweight passive control approach for structural vibration and noise attenuation. Finite element (FE) simulations and experiments are used to compare vibration response levels of plate structures. The plate structures have been integrated with various vibration attenuation treatments including damping layers, DVAs, ABHs and ABH-DVA pairs. It is demonstrated experimentally that the plate structure integrated with two ABH-DVA pairs has the lowest overall vibration response level in the frequency range below 800 Hz. More interestingly, the total structural mass of the plate structure integrated with ABH-DVA pairs is 8.24% less than that of the uniform thickness plate. The experimental observations are further verified with simulation results. With the help of the FE model, plate structures integrated with more than two ABH–DVA pairs targeted at the simultaneous attenuation of multiple resonances are studied and compared with traditional uniform thickness plates. Under the design constraint of the total structural mass being equal, it is shown that plates integrated with DVA-ABH pairs always have lower vibration response levels in the low-mid frequency range where mechanical vibration commonly occurs.

Dynamic Vibration Absorbers

Naturally limited stiffness of cantilever elements due to lack of constraint from other structural components, together with low structural damping, causes intensive and slow-decaying transient vibrations as well as low stability margins for self-excited vibrations. In cases of dimensional limitations (e.g., boring bars), such common antivibration means as dynamic vibration absorbers have limited effectiveness due to low mass ratios. This paper describes novel concepts of structural optimization of cantilever components by using combinations of rigid and light materials for their design. Two examples are given: tool holders (boring bars) and robot arms. Optimized boring bars demonstrate substantially increased natural frequencies, together with the possibility of greatly enhanced mass ratios for dynamic vibration absorbers. Machining tests with combination boring bars have been performed in comparison with conventional boring bars showing superior performance of the former. Computer optimization of combination-type robot arms has shown a potential of 10–60 percent reduction in tip-of-arm deflection, together with a commensurate reduction of driving torque for a given acceleration, and a higher natural frequencies (i.e., shorter transients). Optimization has been performed for various ratios of bending and joint compliance and various payloads.
