Non-linear dynamic analysis of double-layer semi-active vibration isolation systems using revised Bingham model

Abstract

In this work, a revised Bingham model for magneto-rheological damper is used to investigate the primary resonance reduction in the double-layer semi-active isolation system of marine auxiliary machinery. An analytical solution for the auxiliary double-layer semi-active isolation system’s primary resonance is obtained with an averaging method, and this is verified numerically using the Maple software. The effect of model parameters of magneto-rheological damper on the system’s vibration transmissibility is studied. The research results show that the damping of magneto-rheological damper and the control force have a significant effect on the vibration transmissibility in the resonance region. The vibration transmissibility of the double-layer semi-active isolation system decreases with increase in damping of the magneto-rheological damper and control force. Yet the zero force velocity contributes very little to changes in vibration transmissibility.
