Theory, numeric, and experiment studies on stability of two homodromy vibrators in a vibrating system with double rigid frames

Abstract

The synchronization and stability of two or more vibrators in vibrating systems with double rigid frames are rarely investigated in previous studies. To make up this drawback, we take a dynamical model with double rigid frames driven by two homodromy vibrators, for example the synchronous and stable states of the corresponding system, as well as the relative motion characteristics between the two rigid frames, are analyzed in detail. First, the mathematical modeling of the system is given; the absolute motion and relative motion differential equations of the system are deduced. After that, the theory conditions of implementing synchronization and those of stability are obtained, by using the average method and Hamilton’s principle, respectively. Based on the theoretical results, some numerical qualitative analyses are provided to reveal the coupling dynamical characteristics of the system, and the corresponding ideal working regions are suggested. Finally, experiments are carried out to further examine the validity of the theoretical and numerical results. The present work can offer a reference to design some new vibrating machines such as the considered model.
