ABSTRACT

This research deals with passive vibration control of a primary mass using impact

vibration absorbers (IVA). Primary mass is the structure for which the vibrations are to

be mitigated. Different types of IVAs have been proposed, studied and used in practical

applications. This research is on two types of IVAs, namely, simple IVA and compound

IVA. In simple IVA the impact mass hangs from a pendulum not connected to the

primary mass. In compound IVA the impact mass hangs from a pendulum connected to

the primary mass.

The first objective of this research was to compare the effect of the pendulimi arm

length on the absorption characteristics of the simple and compound IVA. The second

objective was to determine the effect of the mass ratio, excitation amplitude, and

clearance between impact walls on absorber efficiency of the compound IVA model.

For transient vibration involving compound IVAs it was shown that the longest

pendulum was more efficient than the shortest pendulum. The largest clearance was more

efficient than the smallest clearance. For the largest initial displacement the vibrations

were attenuated faster than for the smallest initial displacement. For forced vibrations, the

simple IVA (compare to the compound IVA) has a more pronoimced inefficient

absorption region. This is due to the apparent shift of the resonance point. On the other

hand the con^und IVA hardly has a clear inefficient absorption region. In the respective

absorption region, it is noted that the single IVA has a more prominent vibration

absorption level. It was also noted that for the simple IVA the shortest pendulum length is

the most efficient, while for the compound IVA the shortest pendulum length is the least

efficient.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

11 Introduction

The study of vibrations deals with such bodies under oscillatory motions and with

the forces associated with them. Vibrations are one of the most common aspects of life.

Since most of the engineering machines and structures experiences some degree of

vibrations, engineers have to consider issue of vibrations in the designing process [1].

Vibrations may occur due to the design of the machinery as vibrations caused by an

engine, or they may occur due to natural reasons such as buildings under excitation of

earthquake, ships under excitation of sea waves or simply a flagpole under excitation of

wind. It is usually required to control the vibrations because it causes fatigue and failure

of the components that are under vibrations, and discomfort for the people.

Vibrations can be classified as forced and transient vibrations. Transient

vibrations are also referred as free vibrations. In forced vibrations case there is an

external excitation of the system that is oscillating. However, in transient vibrations case

system oscillates under the action of forces inherent in the system itself The system

under transient vibrations oscillates at one or more of its natural frequencies. Figure 1.1

shows an example of transient response for linear viscous damping.

1.2 Vibrations

1.2.1 Elements of Vibrations

When a system is placed in motion, oscillation will take place at the natural

frequency fa, which is a property of the system [1]. The natural frequency of the system

can be determined by solving equation of motion of the system. However, if the system is

non-linear this solution is usually very complicated sometimes even unsolvable. Another

way of determining natural frequency is using transient experiment results. By using

power spectral density (psd) estimation, which is described detailed in [2], the damped

frequency ©a can be found. Then using Logarithmic Decrement Equation (Equation 1.1)

and Damping Factor (Equation 1.2) in the following formulas [3] it is possible to

calculate natural frequency (Equation 1.3, 1.4):

/ „ = f (1.4)

Resonance is the vibratory behavior where the excitation frequency is close or

equal to the natural frequency of the system under excitation [4]. When resonance occurs

system response amplitudes reach their largest values. Failure of the any component of

the system is expected to be in this region so in designing process attempting to keep

oscillation frequencies as far as possible from the loading frequency is an important

engineering issue. In linear systems the peak of the amplitude response of the system is

nearly corresponds to the natural frequency of the system. However, in non-linear

systems the peak of the amplitude response is shifted slightly. The direction of the shift

depends on the properties that cause non-linearity.

Determining stiffiiess as a fiinction of force applied gives us load-deflection

characteristic of a mechanical system. Most of the time load-deflection characteristics of

mechanical systems are non-linear. Two types of non-linear load-deflection

characteristics are hardening and softening. Both types of non-linear load-deflection

characteristics allow for varying the actual stifl&iess by moving the working point along

the characteristic. There are many materials that show non-linear deformation

characteristics. For example deformation of cast iron and concrete components have

softening load-deflection characteristics. For rubber when it is under compression loading

2

it has hardening load-deflection characteristics but under shear loading it shows softening

load-deflection characteristics. Another reason that causes non-linearity is changing of

system geometry due to large deformations or due to a special geometry designed in

order to obtain changing stiffiiess [5]. Frequency response curves for a linear spring,

hardening spring and softening spring is shown in Figure 1.2.

Systems involving vibro-impact, with masses collide with rigid or elastic barriers

during their oscillations, shows strong non-linear characteristics. The non-linearity is

mainly due to extremely rapid velocity changes caused by impacts. These changes are

usually treated as being instantaneous which occurs as velocity jumps and they cause

strong non-linear behavior even if the system itself is linear before impacts [6].

1.2.2 Controlling Vibrations

1.2.2.1 Active Control

Active vibrations control systems are vibration absorbers that get feedback from

the system under excitation and according to this feedback drive necessary devices to

reduce the vibrations. So, it has the ability to change the parameters of absorber

according to the magnitude of the vibrations. The advantages of active vibrations control

systems over passive ones they include broader bandwidth and higher control authority.

Since operation conditions of a controlled system change in time, passive absorbers can

lose effectiveness in some bandwidths and may even increase vibrations. However, they

are also more expensive and there is a higher risk of failure. They usually need a power

source and maintenance [7].

Different active control methods are used for active vibrations control. Kang [8]

used smart electio-rheological composites for active control. Sakamoto [9] also used

electro-rheological liquids but as a sloshing damper. Figure 1.3 shows the model that is

used in that research. Tentor [10] used the help of electromagnetic forces in his model.

The electromagnetic tuned dynamic vibration absorber that is used in this study enables

vibration reduction around a tuned frequency. This research uses permanent magnets in

conjunction with an electromagnet to change system stiffiiess in order to shift absorbers

natural frequency and the combined system cancellation frequency range. An

electromechanical vibration absorber studied by Nagem [11]. In this study Nagem

replaced a passive mechanical absorber system with an active system that consists of an

electromechanical transducer and a resonant electrical circuit. It is shown that by tuning

the electrical circuit properly, the vibrations amplitude response of the system on which

absorber attached, is reduced considerably. Some of the other studies that are on active

vibrations control are [12-15].

1.2.2.2 Passive Control

Passive vibrations control unUke active ones fimctions without external supply

that is; they do not require any power source. Instead they use the energy stored in the

structure as potential or kinetic energy. It is not possible to control absorber parameters

during the absorption of vibrations. The simple device compared to active ones often

consists of a reaction mass and a spring element. This simple passive absorber system is

proven to be very effective for reducing excessive vibrations of machinery, buildings,

bridges, and many other engineering applications with relatively low cost [16].

The most common passive control that is used and studied is a simple mass and

spring system attached to the structure for which vibrations to be reduced. Figure 1.4

shows such a model that is designed to apply to a building. Another common used

passive controller is pendulum type absorber that is studied experimentally and

theoretically by researchers [17-19]. Figure 1.5 shows such a pendulum type passive

absorber where a pendulum with a tip mass attached to a beam to reduce its amplitude

response to vibrations. Adding an impact damper is another approach that is studied.

Figure 1.6 shows an impact vibration model that is studied experimentally. The

collusions that occur between primary mass and impact mass reduce the vibrations of

primary mass.

There are a large number of studies that refers to direct engineering applications

for passive controllers. A pendulum absorber is proposed for ropeway carriers that are

usually under excitation of wind [20]. Jacquot [21] studied vibration absorbers to control

vibrations of rectangular simply supported plates for application to printed wiring boards

under excitation of random acoustic fields. Alii [22] focused on control of overhead

cranes in his study.

1.3 Impact Vibration Absorbers

1.3.1 Introduction

One of the most effective passive control methods is adding an impact vibration

absorber to the system under excitation. Impact vibration absorbers, which are referred as

IVA in this study, consist of an impact mass that is located such that it makes collisions

with the main mass that is vibrating. The transfer of momentum to the mass from the

main mass and dissipation of energy in every impact provides reduction in amplitude

response of the main mass.

Desen [23] classified the IVAs that are studied so far in four categories: (a)

single-unit IVAs, (b) multi-unit IVAs, (c) hybrid IVAs, and (d) compound IVAs (Figure

1.7). Single-unit IVAs consists of an impact mass that is not attached to the primary

system. Multi-unit IVAs uses more than one impact masses to for reduction of vibrations.

Hybrid IVAs are combination of impact vibration absorber with a different type of

absorber such as a mass-spring-damper absorber. Con^und IVAs is similar to single-

unit IVAs, but unlike single-unit impact mass is attached to the primary system. Current

study deals with single-unit IVA, which is referred as simple IVA model, and compound

IVA model.

1.3.2 Theoretical Studies

Forced oscillators with impacts at rigid stops have been widely studied as

examples of simple non-Unear systems. Such systems are of interest because a large

number of physical systems display behavior, which can be classified as impacting. In

such cases more theoretical analyses have been done compared experimental studies to

avoid the noise or wear caused by repeated unacceptable large impacts [24].

Figure 1.8 shows two impact damper models that are studied numerically [25],

[26]. Both the transfer of momentum to the loose mass from the main system and

dissipation of energy in every impact provide the mechanism for controlling the

vibrations. In these study the method of equivalent linearization is extended to obtain

analytical solution, which is verified by numerical integration. Depending on this solution

an empirical relationship is established for the optimum design of the damper for

controlling the forced oscillation. A similar model is used [27] to derive analytically the

exact limit cycles solution of the general steady-state response of a sinusoidal excited

primary system provided with an IVA. The effects of viscous damping, frequency ratio,

coefficient of restitution, and clearance ratio on the stability of the system are presented.

Figure 1.9 shows another IVA model that is studied analytically where the motion of

impact mass is restricted to one side of the equilibrium position.

A large number of theoretical studies are done to simulate liquid sloshing impact

in moving structures [6, 28-30]. Most of the time sloshing effect of liquids works same as

impact vibration absorbers by reducing response amplitude. In some of the studies

sloshing liquid mass is replaced by a mechanical model in the form of simple pendulum

experiencing impacts with the tank walls. An example of such a model is shown in

Figure 1.10. This model is very similar to the ones that are used to study pendulum type

impact vibration absorbers.

An interesting theoretical study about IVA, deals with more than one impact

masses that is shown in Figure 1.11. Bapat [31] compared this multi-unit damper with the

single-unit damper model that he used in his previous study by using simulations. He

concluded that the performance of a single-unit d a n ^ r is retained when it is replaced by

multi-unit damper with a moderate number of units having the same total mass,

coefficients of Coulomb friction and restitution, and the gap.

Figure 1.12 shows an IVA model that is studied theoretically. This model is very

similar to the one that is studied in this research experimentally. It consists of an inverted

pendulum with motion limiting stops attached to a sinusoidally excited nass-spring

system. In the conclusion it is stated that inverted pendulum with unstable central

position should be used as an absorber only with great care since the parameter range of

desired motions can potentially possess several possible steady state, including chaos.

Some theoretical studies are done specifically for engineering applications. For

example Figure 1.13 shows a model for a machine-tool chatter that is used in metal-

6

cutting process. Excessive vibrations occur of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece

causes a rough surface finish and dimensional inaccuracy of the work. Additionally

undesired vibrations accelerate the wear of cutting tool and components. In this study a

passive IVA is proposed and analyzed numerically. Another study investigates

interactions of the hand-held percussion machine with the operator to improve the

machine capacity and to reduce the reaction on the operator. Figure 1.14 shows the model

that is used for this study.

1.3.3 Experimental Studies

Different kinds of IVAs are studied experimentally since the first introduction of

IVA. One of the most common used models is an IVA model that consists of a pendulum

with an impact tip mass. This is a model, which is similar to the one used in this study.

Figure 1.15 shows one of the experimental setup that has been studies [32, 33]. In this

paper, secondary systems that have to endure severe vibration amplitudes under the

influence of the primary structures on which they are mounted are studied. Examples of

such systems are encountered as light flexible components mounted on heavier machine

bodies, flexibly mounted machinery, piping in building structures and in transport

flexible cargo. A series of numerical simulations in addition to experimental

measurements are presented in this study to investigate the effectiveness of a tuned

vibration absorber with an impact damper, to attenuate the excessive vibrations

amplitudes of light secondary systems. Results are presented for random white noise

excitation and transient vibrations for the experiments that are conducted. It is concluded

that addition of an impact damper to a tuned absorber provides significant improvement

of absorption efficiency. Further studies [34, 35] are done by the same researchers that

present additional results to control excessive transient vibrations of a light and flexible

secondary system with a tuned absorber and impact damper combination. This time,

primary structure is modified by adding another level that gives the opportunity to

investigate the effect of the tuning frequency of the absorber on the contiol performance.

Figure 1.15 shows this modified new experiment model. Figure 1.16 shows a similar

three-floor structure that is studied experimentally under random excitation after adding a

pendulum type IVA. Another experimental study on pendulum type IVA is shown in

Figure 1.17. In this experimental study parameters of primary structure that is objected to

sinusoidal excitation are studied. It should be noted that in all of these experiment models

to study pendulum type IVAs, the pendulum, impact mass is not attached on the structure

that is being investigated. In this manner current experimental study is the one of the few,

which makes it more applicable to engineering problems. Ogawa [36] has suggested

application of IVA to the cable-stayed bridge pylons in his study. Ogawa's IVA model

(Figure 1.18) also consists of a pendulum with a tip impact mass. In this study besides

laboratory tests, experiments are carried out on the real bridge pylon. IVA that is installed

to the bridge pylon is shown in Figure 1.19

Another common IVA model type that is used in experimental studies is shown in

Figure 1.20. In this model, an IVA that consists of a small impact mass placed inside a

container, which is rigidly attached to the primary vibrating system, is studied both

theoretically and experimentally. Figure 1.21 shows a similar IVA model on which

parameters are studied such as the location of controller and the gap between impacts to

optimize the vibration attenuation efficiency of the IVA. Figure 1.22 shows a different

approach in which impact mass consists of shot-filled containers with some empty

volume as the shot damper clearance. In this approach the absorption depends on two

different kinds of impacts, internal and the external with the container walls. Different

kinds of bags to contain the shot particles are used in various e)q)eriments. The

performance of the different bags containing the shots has been investigated

experimentally. Figure 1.23 shows another experimental setup. This model is investigated

in order to study limiting of vibratory energy transmission from a machine to its

foundation by the proper use of a flexural suspension. Even the purpose of the

experiment is different the basic model (Figure 1.24) that is used is similar to the

previous ones. While a number of studies on impact dampers having a free additional

mass have been made there is a few that deals with impact dampers having a spring-

supported additional mass. Figure 1.25 shows such a model, which is studied both

experimentally and theoretically. From this study it has been concluded that an impact

damper of one-sided impact design is superior in damping effect to one of two-sided

impact design. Hoang [37] has proposed an application of IVA to control oscillations of

robot arms that are induced either by suddenly braking to a stop after a new positioning

or after hitting a stop block. Figure 1.26 shows the model that is studied experimentally

in this paper. It is concluded that the proposed technique is capable of producing

significant reductions in vibrations as compared to the uncontrolled arm.

1.4 Objectives

The objective of this research is to compare the sensitivity of the attachment point

of pendulum for two different models of IVAs, which are, referred as simple and

compound IVA, under sinusoidal excitation. Additionally another objective is to

determine the effect of the mass ratio, excitation amplitude, and clearance between

impact walls on absorber efficiency of the compound IVA model.

1.5 Scope of Work

The first IVA model referred as simple IVA model that is studied is a non-linear

and single DOF while the second IVA model referred, as compound IVA model is a non­

linear and two DOF. For the simple IVA model, the time series data of the primary mass,

for two different amount of impact mass, two different excitation amplitudes, and four

different lengths of IVA pendulum are recorded. For the compound IVA model, the time

series data of the primary mass and the IVA which includes the excitation amplitude, the

primary mass displacement, and FVA displacement for four different amounts of impact

mass, four different excitation amplitude, four different lengths of IVA pendulum, and

four different gaps between impact walls are recorded. The time series data is used to

obtain the motion plots. This data is used to compare the sensitivity of the attachment

point of pendulum for two different models of IVA and to show the effects of other

system parameters on system response of the compound IVA model. The results are

compared with published results where it is appropriate. Discussions and conclusions

have been made regarding the effectiveness of two different models of IVA.

CHAPTER 2

EXPERIMENTS

2.1 Introduction

Two different models, simple and compound IVA models were designed to

conduct experiments. To conduct experiments a variety of mechanical and electronic

equipments from different manufacturer companies were installed to the models. Each of

the equipment had to be setup properly in order to get best results. Experiments were

conducted with and without IVA in order to study the absorption efficient of the each

rVA model. Additionally, some system parameters were studied in order to observe their

effect on the absorption. These parameters that studied were length of the impact

pendulum, mass ratio, excitation amplitude, and clearance between impact walls. Figure

2.1 shows a chart of experiments that were conducted.

2.2 Experimental Setup

2.2.1 Introduction

Figure 2.2 shows the layout of experimental setup. The setup consists of (a) signal

generator controller, (b) amplifier, (c) shaker, (d) accelerometer, (e) signal conditioner,

(f) primary structure, (g) absorber, and (h) acquisition and analysis system.

PC-based digital vibration controller was used for signal generation and driving

the MB Dynamics Model S6K power amplifier, which supplied power to the MB

Dynamics Model CIO the shaker. Controller got feedback signal from the PCB

Piezotronics accelerometer attached on the shaker. The shaker was connected to the

primary structure to excite it horizontally. Displacement data was collected by

accelerometer, which was attached to the second floor of the primary structure. All of the

accelerometers were powered by signal conditioners. The accelerometer attached to the

primary structure was cormected to National Instruments AT MIO-16E-2 data acquisition

board that was installed to a Personnel Computer. The data is analyzed with the same

computer by using LabVIEW Version 6i software. Additionally an MEM Type CEA-06-

36

250UR-350 strain gage was attached on one of the beams of primary structure to

determine the initial displacement applied to the model in transient vibration experiments.

2.2.2 Signal Generator and Control

The signal generator used in this study was part of a complete vibration control

system from Data Physics Corporation [52]. The signal generator was able to produce

five kind of signals, namely, random, sine, classical shock, sine-on-random, and random-

on-random. In this study, only the sine wave was used for the forced vibration

experiments. The signal generator user interface was based on Windows NT, and was

arranged with straightforward dialog boxes, pull down menus, and a toolbar for quick

access to editors and tables. The generator was programmable for frequency sweep

experiments for a duration defined by number of sweeps or time, and frequency dwell

experiments at a series of frequencies. The required input parameters for the sweep

experiments included: excitation amplitude, start- and end-frequency, up or down sweep,

and sweep rate. The required input parameters for the dwell experiments included:

excitation amplitude, and dwell or excitation frequency.

The controller used was model SignalCalc 550 from Data Physics Corporation

[52]. This controller allowed for closed loop vibration control that required a large

amount of real time computations. In controller, this computational load is spread over

multiple 40 MHz digital signal processors (DSP). Three DSPs support each set of four

charmels. With distributed processing, the controller maintained gap free (real-time)

operation regardless of the number of input charmels. Differential inputs on all charmels

eliminate potential ground loop problems and provide a high level of protection against

noisy environments. The specifications of the controller were:

- 40 MHz, Floating Point DSP,

- Output Ranges: Programmable 0 to ± 10 Volt,

- Dynamic Range: Greater than 92 dB,

- ADC Type: 18-bit successive approximation,

- DAC Type: 16-bit successive approximation.

37

The controller controlled the shaker by continuously measuring the acceleration

of the shaker table and comparing this response to the desired acceleration. The desired

acceleration is the value calculated by the controller required for the specified zero-to-

peak displacement during the period of the specified sine wave. For this purpose an

accelerometer was connected to shaker table to get feedback signal to the PC-based

digital controller. Displacement either acceleration signal was chosen as the feedback

signal depending on the experiment that was conducted. The reason for this was the

difference in performance of the controller for different experiments using different

feedback signals. When the displacement signal was chosen for feedback signal it was

converted to acceleration in the process of comparing it to desired acceleration by

controller. After the process of comparing accelerations the required driving volts were

calculated and supplied to the shaker by the help of an amplifier connected to both PC-

based digital controller and shaker.

2.2.3 Amplifier

A power amplifier used in this study was model S6K from MB Dynamics [53].

The signal from the signal generator was transmitted to the amplifier. The amplifier was

designed for use with electrodynamic shakers operating in Random, Shock or Sine test

modes. The parameters that could be set at the amplifier were type of operation mode and

the gain. The type of mode used in this study was sine. The gain of the an^lifier was set

to a medium level and was not changed through out the whole experimental study.

2.2.4 Shaker Table

The shaker table used in this study was of the electrodynamic type, model CIO,

produced by MB Dynamics [53]. It is a high-frequency vibration exciter. Forced-air

cooling provides eflBcient cooling for continuous operation at rated force. The

performance ratings are as follows:

- Force Output; 1200 lbs. Vector (continuous duty sinusoidal input), 850 lbs.

rms (noise testing 15 - 2000 cps bandwidth), 2550 lbs. peak (noise testing

15 - 2000 cps bandwidth)

38

- Frequency Range; 2 to 3000 cps

- Total Table Displacement; 1 in. (±1/2") between stops, continuous rating

±1/2" except as limited by 70 in. / sec. Velocity or 1200-lb. Force.

Shaker table was connected to the experiment model by using bolts and was used

to excite the model in the specified frequencies and amplitudes.

2.2.5 Experimental Models

Figure 2.3 shows simple IVA model that was studied. The simple FVA model was

designed and modeled by the mean of 3D modeling software Pro/Engineer 2001 which is

a product of PTC, Parametric Technology Corporation [54]. Figure 2.4 shows the model

that has been created in Pro/Engineer. It was a structure that consisted of two floors with

the first floor (base) attached to the shaker by bolts. The base was mounted on four

wheels and it was constrained in such way that it could move only in one axis. The shaker

excited the base horizontally. In this study, the second floor will be referred to as the

primary mass. The primary mass was mounted on four 1.65 mm thick, 25.4 mm wide,

and 220 mm long steel beams, which behaved as leaf springs. The amplitude response of

the primary mass to the excitation was studied. Impact walls were attached to the primary

by using bolts. These impact walls could be moved to adjust desired clearance between

them by the means of slots, which are cut in the primary mass.

As shown in Figure 2.3 and 2.4, impact vibration absorber (IVA) consisted of a

pendulum with an impact mass at the end. The impact mass was designed such that it was

possible to add or remove mass easily. A steel frame was built to carry the IVA. The

frame was located in such a position that the IVA hung between impact walls of primary

mass. When the primary mass was excited the FVA impacted with the impact walls and

these impacts reduced the vibration of the system. The IVA could slide on the beam of

the steel frame where it was attached so that it was possible to change the length of the

pendulum. The impact mass which is also referred as the secondary mass (Figure 2.5)

consisted of a main mass of 38.1 mm diameter and mass of an 86 g. Two pairs of 46 g

and 93 g masses could be added to this main mass forming in four different combinations

of secondary masses. Similar or equivalent IVA models are studied previously [23, 33,

39

46]. The simple IVA model is one-degree-of freedom because it can move only in one

axis until impacts start. When amplitude is large enough for impacts to occur, the

interactions between impact mass and primary mass makes the system two-degree-of

freedom. It is a non-linear system because the beams used in the primary structure shows

characteristics of hardening spring [5]. Another reason for non-linearity is sudden

changes in the velocity caused by impacts, which is discussed fiirther in [6].

Figure 2.6 shows compound IVA model that was studied. The compound IVA

model w£is also designed and modeled using of Pro/Engineer. The solid model is shown

in Figure 2.7. In the compound IVA model, a square cross-section aluminum beam was

added by using bolts to the primary mass, which was used in simple IVA model. This 270

mm long beam was used to cormect IVA to the primary mass. The IVA consisted of a

pendulum with an infq)act mass same as the one used in simple IVA model The

attachment of pendulum to the aluminum beam was a bearing that was holding pivot

point of the pendulum. The attachment was designed such that it could slide along the

beam allowing different lengths of pendulum. It was designed as light as possible to

minimize the natural frequency difference between the systems that having different

lengths of pendulum. The compound IVA model constituted a two-degree-of freedom

system. Because there are two independent displacement parameters in the equation of

motion including displacement 'x' of the primary mass and angle '0' of secondary mass.

The compound IVA model is a nonlinear system because of the beams used in the

primary structure showing characteristics of hardening spring [5] and the changes in the

velocity caused by impacts [6]. Another reason for non-linearity is coupling effect caused

by swinging pendulum.

2.2.6 Transducers

PCB Piezotronics [55] accelerometers and signal conditioners were used for

control and data acquisition purposes. For each accelerometer suitable signal conditioner

was selected to supply enough voltage to power it. Two different accelerometer models

were used for feedback signal, which were connected to shaker table. PCB Model

353B52 accelerometer that has 490 volts/inch sensitivity is used with a PCB Model

40

480C02 signal conditioner for the experiments that were without IVA. This

accelerometer showed poor performance for the experiments with the IVA because of the

noise that was created by the IVA. So that, a more sensitive PCB Model 353B34

accelerometer which has 99.1 vohs/inch sensitivity with a PCB Model 480B10 signal

conditioner used for the experiments with IVA. This accelerometer and signal conditioner

could use displacement signal instead of acceleration signal as the feedback signal.

Displacement signal has lower noise compared to acceleration signal due to mathematical

derivation that increases noise [56]. PCB Model 350A14 accelerometer that has 490

volts/inch sensitivity was used with PCB Model 480C02 signal conditioner for collecting

displacement data of primary mass. This accelerometer is specially designed for

applications or tests that involve mild impact loading.

2.2.7 Data Acquisition

The data acquisition was performed using LabVIEW software, which was

installed to a personal computer equipped with National Instruments [57] model AT

MIO-16E-2 data acquisition board. The board was connected externally to a cormector

block model SCB-68 also from National Insti-uments. This is a shielded I/O connector

block for interfacing I/O signals to plug-in DAQ devices with 68-pin connectors.

Combined with the shielded cables the connecter block has very low-noise signal

termination. LabVIEW is a graphical programming language specially designed to take

measurements, analyze data, and present results to the user [58]. This software saves a lot

of time in programming compared to traditional programming languages because of its

versatile graphical user interface. Figure 2.8 shows a snapshot of LabVIEW program to

collect data. This program enables to collect data from two charmels, dispkicement data

for the primary mass and displacement data for the shaker. Figure 2.9 shows a snapshot

of LabVIEW program for psd calculation. This program enables to calculate tiie psd of

collected data for transient vibration experiments to determine the natural frequency of

the system. Figure 2.10 shows a snapshot of LabVIEW program for analyzing the

collected data. It filters the noise from the raw data and reorganizes it in the desired way

to present it.

41

2.3 Experimental Methodology

2.3.1 Introduction

For simple IVA model the natural frequency was tuned to approximately 7.5 Hz

with the IVA not activated. For compound IVA model the natural frequency was tuned

when impact pendulum was locked. The impact pendulum natural frequency was 1 Hz

for longest length of pendulum. So the natural frequency ratio was around 0.134. Due to

change in attachment point of pendulum there was a small difference in natural frequency

while conducting experiments for different lengths of impact pendulunL This difference

was minimized by designing a very light attachment. For each system that was using

different parameters natural frequencies were recorded in the experiment table in the

Appendix A. For each experiment a data acquisition rate of 70 scans/sec was used. This

scan rate was chosen to avoid aliasing [3].

Transient vibration experiments were conducted with initial displacements

applied to the primary structure to conduct for both of the IVA models to study

characteristics of the decay and inclination of different system parameters. Two kinds of

forced vibration experiments were carried out, namely, dwell and sweep experiments. It

was observed that dwell experiments were more accurate compared to sweep

experiments. So, most of the parametric studies were done by conducting dwell

experiments. However, it was easier to see characteristics of primary mass amplitude

response by using sweep data. Downsweep experiments were also conducted to confirm

dwell experiments. To keep track of experiments an experimental table that is shown in

appendbc is created by MS Excel. In this experiment table it is possible to see the values

of each parameter for each experiment that was conducted.

2.3.2 Transient Vibration

Desired initial displacements were applied to the primary structure to conduct

transient vibration experiments for both of the IVA models. This was done by pulling the

primary structure until the desired value was read from the strain gage that was attached

to one the beams of the primary structure. This experiment was conducted with and

42

witiiout simple IVA to see characteristics of the decay. For the compound IVA model a

parametric study was performed in order to see the inclination of different parameters

such as length of pendulum and clearance between impact walls. Four length, four

clearance, and four initial displacements were used in transient experiments on compound

IVA model. While conducting a study on one of the parameters other parameters were

kept constant. Details of parameters that were used in experiments are shown in the

experiment table in the appendix.

2.3.3 Forced Vibration

The forced vibration was conducted using the shaker and the controller. After

tuning the natural frequency to the desired value, sweep range were decided to allow

resonance to occur approximately in the middle of sweep range. It is called upsweep

when we start from lower frequency and sweep towards to higher frequencies at specified

excitation amplitude, and it is called downsweep when we start from higher frequency

and sweep towards to lower frequencies. After conducting the preliminary experiments

with both upsweep and downsweep, it was decided that downsweep data matched with

dwell data much precisely than upsweep data. This was also observed by other

researchers [23, 46]. Because of more precise results of downsweep experiments

compared to upsweep ones, only downsweep data is presented in this study. For sweep

rate slowest sweep rate 0.001 Hz/sec was chosen in order to get best results from sweep

experiments. Although dwell data was more accurate compared to sweep data, it was

easier to see characteristics of primary mass amplitude response by using sweep data.

Details of downsweep experiments that were conducted are shown in the experiment

table in the appendix.

When we excite the primary structure at specified excitation amplitude at a certain

frequency it is called dwell experiment. That is, excitation frequency is kept constant

while collecting amplitude response data from the primary structure. Each dwell

experiment was conducted for 40 seconds. Dwell frequencies were selected depending on

the critical regions of the studied system. It was observed that dweU experiments were

more accurate compared to sweep experiments. So, most of the parametric studies were

43

done by conducting dwell experiments. Details of dwell experiments that were conducted

are shown in the experiment table in the Appendbc A.

CHAPTER 3

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Introduction

In this chapter results obtained from the transient vibration and forced vibration

experiments are presented. For the transient vibration results on decay characteristics and

the factors affecting the same are presented. In the forced vibration, the results on the

parametric study of factors affecting the response amplitude are presented. The

parameters investigated included pendulum length, clearance, excitation amplitude, and

impact mass.

3.2 Transient Vibration

3.2.1 Natural Frequency

The typical free vibration of the primary system is shown in Figure 3.1. The data

was collected for 10 seconds, after releasing the system from the initial displacement.

The natural frequency of the primary system was determined by calculating the psd

(Figure 3.2) of the free vibration time series. For this system the natural was determined

to be 7.5 Hz, indicated as a peek in the psd graph. The natural frequency was maintained

for all the experiments run in this study.

3.2.2 Decay Characteristics

Figure 3.3 depicts the decay characteristics of system transient vibration with and

without simple FVA. The data was collected for 10 seconds. The transient amplitude

response is approximated by a logarithmic fiinction. On the other hand, the amplitude

response for the case when the simple FVA is active, is approximated by a linear line.

This latter result is consistent with results obtained by other researchers [23, 46]. For the

given system parameters, the compound IVA reduced the decay time by approximately

half

The decay characteristics of system transient vibration with and without

compound IVA are plotted in Figure 3.4. The data was collected for 10 seconds. The

55

decay characteristics were well approximated by a logarithmic fimction. In this figure, it

can be seen that when the compound IVA is introduced the vibrations diminish much

fester, which is indicated by a steeper decent. For the given system parameters, the

compound IVA reduced the decay time by approximately half

3.2.3 Parametric Studies on Decay Characteristics

In this section the parameters that affect the decay characteristics were studied.

The data analyzed was reduced from 10 seconds to 3 seconds. Figure 3.5 shows the effect

of length on the decay characteristics of the compovmd IVA. The four data sets were

approximated by linear fimctions. The inclination of the longest pendulvmi (L = 250 mm)

was higher than that of the shortest pendulum (L = 100 mm), with the medium lengths

felling in between these two.

Figure 3.6 depicts the effect of clearance on the rate of decay for the compound

IVA. The largest clearance (C = 4.91 nmi) had the highest inclination and the smallest

clearance (C = 2.11 mm) had the lowest inclination, with the inclinations of the mediimi

clearances falling in between. This result was also observed by other researchers studying

similar impact vibration absorbers [46].

Effect of initial displacement on rate of decay is shown in Figure 3.7. The largest

initial displacement (F = 500 micro strains) had the highest inclination, followed by F =

400 micro strains, then F = 320 micro strains, and F = 256 micro strains. This is due the

higher impacts caused by large initial displacements. This results is consistent with that

observed by other researchers [46].

3.3 Forced Vibration

3.3.1 Pendulum Length Effect

3.3.1.1 Simple IVA

Figure 3.8 depicts the effect of pendulum length on the system response

amplitude. In this figure it is observed that on the introduction of the impact mass, the

apparent system resonance seems to shift to a new location (approximately f = 7.40). In

the absorption region, the simple IVA absorbs the vibrations. In this region it is observed

56

the pendulum length has minimal influence on the absorption characteristics. This

absorber is inefficient in the region out of the absorption range. Around / = 7.40 the

pendulum length has impact on the absorption characteristics of the simple IVA. Around

this frequency, the longest pendulum length (L = 250 mm) is the least eflBcient, followed

by L = 200 mm, then L = 150 mm, and lastly L = 100 mm.

Figure 3.9 depicts the effect of pendulum length on the system response

amplitude ratio. In this figure the absorption region is defined as r = 0.994 to r = 1.030. In

this figure, the absorber is most effective at r = 1.005, and least eflBcient at r = 0.984. In

the least eflBcient region, the length clearly impacts the absorption characteristics. In this

region increasing the pendulimi length increases the ineflBciency of the absorber.

To verify the shift in the amplitude response with IVA, downsweep experiments

were conducted. Figure 3.10 depicts the downsweep experiments plotted with the dwell

experiments. For the anq)litude response with IVA the parameters used were L = 200

mm, \i = 0.045, D = 4.91 mm. While for the amplitude response without IVA the

parameters used was A = 0.185 mm. From the figure it can be seen that the downsweep

data matched the dwell data, thus confirming the apparent shift in the resonance point.

3.3.1.2 Compound IVA

Figure 3.11 shows the effect of pendulum length on the system response

amplitude. In this figure clearly the pendulum length has an effect on the absorption

characteristics of the compoimd IVA. For aU lengths, the most absorption occurs at the

resonance regions. It is observed that the longest pendulum length (L = 250 mm) is the

most eflBcient, followed by L = 200 mm, then L = 150 mm, and lastly L = 100 nmL

3.3.1.3 Comparisons

From Figure 3.8 and 4.11, it is observed that the simple IVA (compare to the

compoimd IVA) has a more pronounced ineflBcient absorption region. In fact, the

compound IVA hardly has a clear efficient absorption region. In the respective absorption

region, it is noted that the simple IVA has a more prominent vibration absorption level.

The ineflficient absorption region of the simple IVA is due to the apparent shift of the

57

resonance point, which phenomenon was also observed in [18, 46]. It was also noted that

for the simple IVA the shortest pendulum length is the most efficient, while for the

compound IVA the shortest pendulum length is the least eflBcient.

3.3.2 Parametric Studies on Compound IVA

3.3.2.1 Clearance

Figure 3.12 depicts the effect of clearance on the system response amplitude. It is

noted in this figure, that the apparent resoiance region seems to shift to the left. This

phenomenon was also observed by other authors while studying diflferent system [18, 23,

46]. In this figure it is shown that, in the absorption region, the large clearance has

sUghtly less vibration absorption that the small clearances. But looking at the non-

absorption region, the smaller clearances are more inefficient than the largest clearance. It

is noted though this observation is reversed for c = 3.252 mm and c = 4.112 mm.

The effect of clearance on the system response amplitude ratio is shown in

Figure 3.13. In the absorption region (r = 1.003 to r = 1.034), the most absorption occurs

at r = 1.006. In the non-absorption region, the smaller clearances are more inefficient than

the largest clearance.

3.3.2.2 Excitation Amplitude

Figure 3.14 through 4.16 show the effect of excitation amplitude on the system

response amplitude with and without compound IVA at various amplitudes. Using the

ratio xw / xwo at the maximum response amplitude, it can be shovra that in Figure 3.14

xw / Xwo = 0.38, in Figure 3.15 xw / xwo = 0.29, in Figure 3.16 xw / xwo = 0.19. This

seems to indicate that the compound IVA is more efficient at lower excitation amplitude.

This might be due to the high primary mass momentum at high excitation amplitude. As a

side observation, it is also shown in Figure 3.14 by connecting the peek response

amplitude with an imaginary line (back bone) that the primary system has hardening

spring characteristic, which indicates that the system is nonlinear at high excitation

amplitudes.

3.3.2.3 Impact Mass

Figure 3.17 through 3.19 show the eflfect of impact mass on the system response

amplitude with and without compound IVA at various masses. In Figure 3.17 the dwell

data for the response with the IVA is also plotted. It is in good agreement with the

downsweep data. It is also noted for the downsweep data at the resonance region the

controllability of the shaker was not smooth as indicated. Using the ratio xw / xwo at the

maximum response amplitude, it can be shown that in Figure 3.17 xw / xwo = 0.77, in

Figure 3.18 xw / xwo = 0.34, in Figure 3.19 xw / xwo = 0.16. This seems to indicate that

the compound IVA is more efficient at larger impact masses. This might be due to the

high relative momentum of the impact mass. These results are in agreement with the

results published by other authors [23,46, 59,60].

CHAPTER 4

CONCLUSIONS

For transient vibration involving compound IVAs it was shown that the longest

pendulum (L = 250 mm) was more eflBcient than the shortest pendulum (L = 100 mm).

The largest clearance (C = 4.91 mm) was more efficient than the smallest clearance (C =

2.11 mm). For the largest initial displacement (F = 500 microstrains) the vibrations were

attenuated faster than for the smallest initial displacement (F = 256 microstrains).

The simple IVA (compare to the compound FVA) has a more pronounced

inefficient absorption region. The ineflficient absorption region of the simple FVA is due

to the apparent shift of the resonance pomt. On the other hand the compound FVA hardly

has a clear ineflficient absorption region. In the respective absorption region, it is noted

that the simple FVA has a more prominent vibration absorption level. It was also noted

that for the simple IVA the shortest pendulum length is the most efficient, while for the

compound FVA the shortest pendulum length is the least efficient.

Furthermore, for the compound IVA, it was shown that the smaller clearances are

more ineflficient than the largest clearance. The FVA is more efficient at lower excitation

amplitude, and more eflficient at larger impact masses.
