Abstract

Abstract. A reliable optimization of dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) parameters is extremely important to analyze its dynamic damping characteristics and improve its vibration suppression performance. In this paper, we will discuss a parameter optimization method of the Voigt and three-element DVA models according to the H∞ optimization criterion. The particle swarm optimization method is an effective heuristic optimization algorithm; however, it is easy to lose diversity and fall into local extremum. To solve this problem, the adaptive multiswarm particle swarm optimization (AM-PSO) is used to search the solution of the DVA models. Particles in AM-PSO are adaptively divided into multiple swarms, and the variable substitution learning strategy is utilized to reduce their computational complexity and improve the algorithm's global search capability. In addition, the AM-PSO method is employed to optimize the parameters of DVA models and compared with the genetic algorithm and PSO. The simulation results show that the AM-PSO algorithm has superior performance. Also, the adaptive multiswarm numerical design method discussed herein will push the field towards practical applications, including traditional DVA and related complex three-element DVA.
