Analysis of vibration reduction performance of vibration isolation system based on particle damping

Taking ship vibration isolation systems as the research subject, the particle damper was applied to ship vibration isolation systems to study its vibration reduction performance. The energy dissipation mechanism of particle dampers is analyzed, and an energy dissipation calculation model is derived. The combined method of simulation and experimentation is employed to study the influence of parameters such as particle material, filling rate, particle diameter, and collision coefficient of restitution on the vibration reduction performance of particle dampers. The impact laws of these parameters are summarized, demonstrating that particle dampers can produce excellent vibration reduction performance when applied in ship vibration isolation systems, and reasonable parameter recommendations are provided. Response surface method (RSM) is used to fit an accurate energy dissipation prediction model and calculate the optimal performance parameters. This paper serves as a valuable reference for the parameter design, optimization, and practical engineering applications of particle dampers.

Dynamic characteristics analysis of magnetorheological semi-active vibration isolator with high-static-low-dynamic stiffness

High static and low dynamic stiffness vibration isolators have the advantages of high load-bearing capacity and small static displacement, but their negative stiffness components will cause a jump phenomenon at the resonance frequency. A semi-active vibration isolator with high-static-low-dynamic stiffness based on magnetorheological (MR) damper is proposed. The equivalent dynamic model of the MR semi-active vibration isolator is established, and the main resonance steady solution and stability conditions of the vibration isolation system are obtained using the average method. The influences of the basic excitation amplitude, excitation frequency, coulomb force, viscous damping coefficient, load-bearing mass, nonlinear elastic force coefficient and linear elastic force coefficient on the stability and performance of vibration isolation systems are analyzed. The results will provide a certain theoretical basis for the design of semi-active control strategies.

Video-Based Interferogram Analysis for Measuring Influence of Vibration to White Light Interferometry

In this paper, we present a video-based interferogram analysis method for measuring the influence of vibration on white light interferometer in terms of undesired change in optical path difference between reference and sample arms. The measurement principle is based on the analysis of interferograms which involves tracking and converting change in interferograms to physical change in optical path difference. The method proposed uses the original sensor in interferometer for data acquisition as such no additional hardware is required. Such an approach ensures that the properties of interferometer such as the bandwidth of sensor are considered and the vibration pattern recorded is close to the effective influence of vibration. With our method, the influence of vibration on white light interferometer and the performance of vibration isolation system can be objectively quantified and measured.

Damping Structural Resonances Using Viscoelastic Shear-Damping Mechanisms: Part II—Experimental Results

This paper describes the experimental dynamic response characteristics of structural design configurations employing viscoelastic shear-damping mechanisms that have been discussed in a previous paper. Experimental results are given for cantilever beams fabricated from viscoelastic-damped sheet and structural shape members; results are also given for cantilever beams damped by use of the strip damper (an additive damping technique). The effects of shock excitation, steady-state vibration excitation, vibration excitation level, structure resonant frequency, and environmental temperature on the damping properties of the structural design configurations are demonstrated. The effects of structural damping on the performance of vibration isolation systems are determined and the significance of employing highly damped structural designs in fabrications intended for use in modern dynamic environments is discussed.
