Abstract: Passive vibration control solutions are often limited to working reliably at one design point. Especially applied to lightweight structures, which tend to have unwanted vibration, active vibration control approaches can outperform passive solutions. To generate dynamic forces in a narrow frequency band, passive single-degree-of-freedom oscillators are frequently used as vibration abso...

The non-linear vibrations of a barrel, induced by the interaction with a high-speed moving projectile, negatively affect the shooting accuracy of a weapon. This study presents a new method that determines the non-linear behavior of the barrel with a passive vibration absorber and optimizes the absorber using the genetic algorithm (GA). Since both the barrel geometry and its coupling with the ab...

The purpose of optimizing isolator parameters is to have a system that is stiff at low frequency but soft in high frequency. However, in this case a small amount of transmitted force will cause a large displacement in isolator. Exceeding the allowable relative displacement may cause serious damage to the system. Therefore a trade off between the transmitted force, which is indicated by absolute...

This paper presents a reduce roll vibration of the full vehicle model with passive suspension systems using vibration absorber to change the dynamic system matrix stat’s eigenvalue. Since using the controller system has been splurged and required to energy consuming, in this research the vehicle body roll vibration has been reduced and supplied vehicle stability using a vibration absorber for t...

Whenever a tuned-mass damper is attached to a primary system, motion of the absorber body in more than one degree of freedom (DOF) relative to the primary system can be used to attenuate vibration of the primary system. In this paper, we propose that more than one mode of vibration of an absorber body relative to a primary system be tuned to suppress single-mode vibration of a primary system. W...

A nonlinear energy sink (NES) is characterized by its ability to passively realize targeted energy transfer as well as multimodal damping. This latter feature seems to make this device very well suited for reducing the vibration level of MDOF linear structures. The perspective of dealing with MDOF linear primary structures requires the development of an efficient NES design procedure. This pape...

In this article, the H∞ optimization design of a hybrid vibration absorber (HVA), including both passive and active elements, for the minimization of the resonant vibration amplitude of a single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) vibrating structure is derived by using the fixed-points theory. The optimum tuning parameters are the feedback gain, the tuning frequency, damping and mass ratios of the absorb...
