چکیده

In this work, a system consisting of a main structure with a nonlinear tuned vibration absorber having a hardening spring attached to it is considered. The nonlinearity in the absorber's spring is a cubic nonlinearity and is obtained by attaching two additional, relatively soft, similar linear springs to the absorber's mass. These added springs are attached to the absorber's mass in such a way that they are initially normal to the absorber's displacement axis. The dynamics of main structure and that of the nonlinear absorber are analyzed using the first order harmonic balancing method (HB1) and the results are compared against those of a system composing of a linear vibration absorber attached to a similar main structure. A numerical example is considered. The results obtained are in agreement with the known features of nonlinear absorbers. They showed that the absorber's effective frequency band width is increased when a nonlinear absorber is employed instead of a linear one. The results also showed that the displacement amplitude of the absorber during operation is decreased when using a nonlinear absorber. It is also found that the absorber's effective band width depends on the original length of the added linear springs, that are used to obtain the nonlinearity in the absorber, in such a manner that it increases as the original length of the two springs is decreased.

Vibration Analysis of a Nonlinear System with a Nonlinear Absorber under the Primary and Super-harmonic Resonances (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Abstract   In vibratory systems, linear and nonlinear vibration absorbers can be used to suppress the primary and super-harmonic resonance responses. In this paper, the behavior of a nonlinear system with a nonlinear absorber, under the primary and super-harmonic resonances is investigated. The stiffnesses of the main system and the absorber are cubically nonlinear and the dampers are linear. M...

Optimal design of a vibration absorber for tremor control of arm in Parkinson's disease

Because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a Parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. Different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. Most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...

Dynamical stability of cantilevered pipe conveying fluid in the presence of linear dynamic vibration absorber

When the velocity of fluid flow in a cantilevered pipe is successively increased, the system may become unstable and flutter instability would occur at a critical flow velocity. This paper is concerned with exploring the dynamical stability of a cantilevered fluid-conveying pipe with an additional linear dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) attachment. It is endeavoured to show that the stability o...
