Nonobstructive particle damping (NOPD) is a novel passive control technology with strong nonlinear-damping. Many scholars put effort into the research on the internal mechanism of NOPD. In contrast, the application of NOPD to engineering has not received much research effort. A theoretical model based on the principle of gas–solid flows, which is employed to evaluate damping effect of NOPD and to predict dynamic response of a machine rack by a co-simulation approach, is established in this paper. In view of the difference between damping effect acting on the lateral and bottom of NOPD holes directly, total damping force is divided into lateral damping force and bottom damping force according to the Janssen theory of stress changed direction. Moreover, NOPD technology is applied to a machine rack for discussing its vibration isolation performance. The results indicate that NOPD technology can suppress the intense vibration, especially between 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz. It is noted that the theoretical model of NOPD can accurately predict the dynamic response of the machine rack with NOPD. The 1/3 Octave vibration energy spectrum indicates that NOPD technics can dissipate the vibration energy of the machine rack at full frequency, especially in 31.5 Hz, and attenuation up to 39.75 dB.

Novel Design

A novel design of a vibration energy absorbing mechanism (VEAM) that is based on multi-physics (magnetic spring, hydraulic system, structural dynamics, etc.) for cable vibration is proposed. The minimum working force of the hydraulic cylinder has been exploited in this design in order to combine a non-linear stiffness vibration isolation module that is composed of permanent magnetic springs with hydraulic viscous vibration damping modules. In response to different environmental vibration impacts, VEAM can automatically switch the vibration control modes without an electronic mechanism. Additionally, the non-contact design effectively reduces the wear that is induced by the reciprocating motion of the small amplitude of the hydraulic viscous dampers. The proposed mechanism is explained and a theoretical model is established. The transmissibility of the two modules at a single degree of freedom is derived using the harmonic balance method. After that, a series of variable control numerical simulations were performed for each important parameter. Empirical rules for designing the system were created by comparing the influence of each parameter on the vibration isolation performance of the entire system.

Isolation Performance

The vibration isolation performance of a PC sandwich plate with periodic hollow tube core is investigated experimentally and numerically. The experiment results reveal that there exist vibration attenuation zones in acceleration frequency responses which can be improved by increasing the number of periods or tuning some structure parameters. The presence of soft fillers shifts the attenuation zone to lower frequencies and enhances the capability of vibration isolation to some extent. Dispersion relations and acceleration frequency responses are calculated by finite element method using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS. The attenuation zones obtained by experiments fit well with that by simulations, and both are consistent with the band gap in dispersion relations. The numerical and experimental studies in the present paper show that this PC sandwich plate exhibits a good performance on vibration isolation in low frequency ranges, which will provide some useful references for relevant research and potential applications in vibration propagation manipulations.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the vibration isolation performance of an elevator motor mounted on elastomeric nanocomposite mounts. A series of conventional acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) mounts have been reinforced with 20wt% concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The vibration isolation capacity of the machine mounts was calculated through the transmissibility of an elevator motor test system. A Finite Element Model (FEM) was introduced and a harmonic analysis based on the ANSYS code has been utilized to investigate the modal behavior of the nanocomposite machine mount/elevator motor system and extract a representative model of the vibrational behavior. The cyclic compression results have revealed that the stiffness and damping capacity of the conventional elastomers can be modified by adjusting the proportion of MWCNTs. Elastomers’ vibration isolation performance of the motor was ameliorated with the inclusion of MWCNTs, signifying that the enhancement of the elastomers with MWCNTs was rather effective. The vibration level of the elevator motor was decreased to 90% by incorporating the optimal concentration of MWCNTs in NBR mounts.

In order to solve the vibration problem of diesel engine powertrain assembly at its idle state, a six degree-of-freedom dynamics model of the powertrain mounting system is established and a optimization based on Adams/View is applied to simulation and analysis on the powertrain mounting system with energy decoupling method. The results show that the optimized repositioning mounts installation position can effectively improve decoupling rate in main vibration directions of mounting system. Based on this, the vibration transmissibility and acceleration response before and after optimization are simulated. The results show that the optimized engine mounting system makes a great improvement of vibration isolation performance.

Transmissibility is the main performance evaluation index of Metal Rubber (MR) isolator, which can be got by sine sweep frequency test. At different temperature, the sine sweep frequency test is done with different structural parameter MR isolator. The influence that relative density and pre-deformation have on transmissibility and natural frequency when temperature changed is analyzed. The changing regularity of MR isolator’s transmissibility at different temperature is explored. Research results provide the basis for designing MR isolator.

Command Signal

The concept of an “on-off” damper employing the feedback signals from directly measurable variables is proposed. A control scheme utilizing the directly measurable relative position and relative velocity signals to produce the command signal is configured. The on-off damping mechanism can be achieved through the modulation of orifice area in a conventional hydraulic damper, using a two position on-off valve driven by the command signal. The shock and vibration isolation characteristics of the proposed on-off damper are evaluated through computer simulations. The shock and vibration isolation performance characteristics of the proposed damper are compared to the performance characteristics of a passive and an on-off damper utilizing the feedback from absolute and relative velocity signals.
