Realization of a Strongly Nonlinear Vibration-Mitigation Device Using Elastomeric BumpersJournal of Engineering Mechanics-asce, 140
The power flow analysis approach is applied for quantitatively evaluating the dynamic performance of a nonlinear energy sink in the frequency domain. A two-degree-of-freedom model of the whole-spacecraft coupled to a nonlinear energy sink is considered. Analytical approximations and numerical integrations are performed for the integrated system. The time-averaged input and dissipated and absorbed powers of the system are formulated. Power absorption ratio is proposed as the vibration reduction performance indicator of the nonlinear energy sink and is compared with kinetic energy of the oscillator. Results show that the power absorption ratio of nonlinear energy sink is high at all frequencies except at an antiresonance region. The effects of varying nonlinear energy sink parameters on its vibration absorption performance are discussed. As observed, the nonlinear energy sink performs well with the increase in viscous damping of nonlinear energy sink in the high-frequency range. However, the nonlinear energy sink performs poorly in the low- frequency range in the same case. Therefore, power flow analysis can provide great insight for nonlinear energy sink design in frequency domain and is suitable for practical engineering application. Keywords Power flow, whole-spacecraft, nonlinear energy sink, frequency domain, vibration absorption Introduction Vibration control strategies have received much attention in many engineering fields, such as civil, marine, and aerospace. Especially in spacecrafts, payloads such as antennas, optical mirrors, and scientific equipment easily 2–5 Active control systems can give good performance in mitigating oscillations. fail in the vibration environment. However, in some circumstances, the active control methods are limited by its possible instability and its power requirement. Therefore, passive vibration control and active–passive integrated vibration control as proven 6,7 methods are more widely used in space industry than active control. Usually, linear vibration absorbers were applied as passive means of control to prevent excessive vibration energy transmission. However, they are designed to suppress the oscillation vibration according to a specific excitation frequency. Linear dynamic vibration absorbers are ineffective and cause the counter effect in other frequencies. Nonlinear designs are proposed for attenuating broad frequency vibration energy transmitting to the primary 9,10 system by introducing nonlinear elements. As an essentially nonlinear local attachment, the nonlinear energy sink 11–15 (NES) is a powerful vibration absorber without obviously changing the natural frequencies of systems. Vakakis et al. discovered the important phenomenon of targeted energy transfer, in which the vibrational energy from a linear system is directly transferred to a passive NES in an irreversible manner. Based on this mechanism, the NES Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Shenyang Aerospace University, Shenyang, China Qingdao Haier Drum Washing Machine Co., Ltd, Qingdao, China School of Science, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, China Corresponding author: Li-Qun Chen, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China.

NES attached to continuum primary linear 20 21–23 24 25 26 27 structures, such as rod, beams, drill-string, plate, elastic strings, and hollow rotor systems is considered in literatures. According to the NES applications, the NES has been designed to various types, like nonsmooth or 29 30 31 nonpolynomial. In particular, new NES designs based on the rotating NES mass, highly asymmetric NES, modified NES considering negative linear and nonlinear stiffness components, a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) 33 34 NES device, and a asymmetric magnet-based NES have been introduced to provide better vibration reduction performance. A mixed multiple scale/harmonic balance method is used to obtain the equations describing the slow- and fast-flow dynamics of NES-controlled systems. Two different quasi-periodic response regimes in strongly nonlinear absorbers have been revealed. The response regimes of oscillators coupled to an NES excited by the narrow band stochastic force have been researched theoretically and numerically. A transformation is proposed to 38,39 obtain the decay envelope formulas, which can be applied to identify the NES damping. The reduction of galloping vibrations for an aeroelastic system through an NES has also been investigated. In terms of performance indicator of the NES, the displacement response in time domain or the energy dissipation/transition in fixed frequency was often used in the above literatures. Important frequency domain behavior existed in nonlinear systems is usually ignored. The power flow analysis approach can better reflect the nonlinear control performance in the frequency domain, as it combines both forces and velocities as well as their 41 42–47 relative phase angle. This method has been largely developed to study linear vibration control systems. Recently, the technique is receiving growing attention in nonlinear dynamical systems. Royston and Singh applied vibration power transmission as a performance indicator in nonlinear mounting systems. Xing and Price proposed a generalized method for addressing many vibration control problems in engineering. Xiong et al. examined the power flow characteristics of the integrated system consisting of an equipment, a nonlinear isolator, and a flexible ship excited by sinusoidal wave. Xiong and Cao analyzed the vibration energy dissipation 52–56 mechanism of a 2-DOF system with irrational nonlinearity. Yang and co-workers developed power flow analysis methods to investigate the nonlinear dynamic systems, which include the power flow characteristics of the Duffing oscillator and the 2-DOF systems for vibration isolations and absorptions. However, the NES is completely different from nonlinear absorbers in the above research. The power flow investigated is the 54,55 spatial-dependent variable, not the time-dependent variable. So the properties of the power flow in the NES and the satellite are studied. It is hoped that more energy will flow into the NES. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, power flow characteristics of the NES have not been studied yet. In the present study, a power flow behavior of the NES is investigated to obtain good designs and applications of the NES. A 2-DOF whole-spacecraft structure with the NES attached is adopted. The harmonic balance method and numerical integrations are used to solve the dynamic governing equations. The instantaneous and time-averaged input and dissipated and absorbed powers of the coupling system are formulated. Power absorp- tion ratio is introduced to indicate the NES performance and is compared with the kinetic energy of the structure. Moreover, the effects of the varying NES parameters on the vibration mitigation performance of the NES are revealed. Finally, conclusions for improving the performance of the NES are provided. Mathematical modeling 2-DOF structure with NES A scaled model of the spacecraft studied here is shown in Figure 1. The 2-DOF system with a specific set of parameters is an equivalent model of the scaled model whole-spacecraft. With the parameters, a well-designed NES reduces effectively the vibration of the whole-spacecraft. As shown in Figure 2, the 2-DOF system is excited by a harmonic displacement u(t) from the supporting base. The mass m represents the adapter. The mass m 2 1 represents the satellite. To suppress the mass m vibration of the structure, the NES with cubic nonlinear stiffness and linear viscous damping is attached to the mass m . The dynamic governing equations of the whole-spacecraft vibration reduction system are obtained as > m x € þ cðÞ x_ x_ þ k x x ¼ 0 1 1 1 1 2 1ðÞ 1 2 € ðÞ _ _ ðÞ _ ðÞ _ _ m x þ c x x þ c x u_ þ c x x þ k x x þ k x u þ k ðx x Þ ¼ 0 (1) 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 3 2 3 1ðÞ 2 1 2ðÞ 2 3 2 3 : 3 € _ _ m x þ cðÞ x x þ k x x ¼ 0 3 3 3 3 2 3ðÞ 3 2 Zhang et al. 343 Figure 1.

Analytical approximations and numerical integrations are adopted in this study in investigating the dynamic performance of the NES in terms of power flow. The harmonic balance method is applied to obtain the relation- ship between power flow variables and system parameters. Meanwhile, numerical integrations of equation (1) based on the fourth-order Runge–Kutta approach are used to examine the analytical results. Both experimental data and numerical simulation via the finite element revealed that the whole-spacecraft vibrates periodically. Thus, only the periodic responses are sought in the following. 344 Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control 38(2) Analytical approximations and numerical results The harmonic balance method can be used to obtain the first-order approximations of the dynamic responses of the nonlinear system representing periodic solutions. Thus, the displacement responses of the integrated whole- spacecraft vibration reduction system may be assumed as x ðÞ t ¼ a cosðÞ wt þ a sinðÞ wt 1 1 2 x ðÞ t ¼ b cosðÞ wt þ b sinðÞ wt 2 1 2 (2) > x ðÞ t ¼ d cosðÞ wt þ d sinðÞ wt 3 1 2 utðÞ ¼ AcosðÞ wt where a , b , and d (i ¼ 1,2) are the coefficients of the related harmonic responses and A and x are the amplitude i i i and frequency of the harmonic displacement excitation.

Based on the Newton–Raphson method, an algorithm is used to solve the abovementioned nonlinear algebraic equations. Numerical integrations based on the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method are conducted to verify the above approximation results. The variables are defined as y ¼ x 1 1 y ¼ x_ 2 1 y ¼ x 3 2 (5) y ¼ x_ > 4 2 y ¼ x > 5 3 y ¼ x_ 6 4 Zhang et al. 345 (a) (b) (c) Figure 3.

The primary structure parameters are chosen as m =60 kg, m =12 kg, k =1.8677 10 N/m, 1 2 1 6 48 k =2.1346 10 N/m, c =600 N s/m, and c =20 N s/m. The NES parameters can be designed within the 2 1 2 proper range, such as m =4 kg, k =500 N/m , and c =300 N s/m. The harmonic displacement excitation 3 3 3 amplitude A is chosen as 0.001 m. Let a, b, and d be the response amplitude of masses m , m , and m , respectively. 1 2 3 For this set of parameters, Figure 3 shows the frequency–response curves of the coupled dynamic system. The figure also shows that response amplitude d of the NES has an antiresonance peak behind the first-order natural frequency. The corresponding drop off of power absorption ratio will be determined in the following power flow analysis. Power flow analysis The basic principles of vibration power generation, dissipation, and absorption in the dynamic coupled systems are revealed. The instantaneous input power into the integrated system is the product of the excitation velocity with the corresponding force, that is P ¼ðÞ f þ f u_ ¼ uc _ ðÞ x_ u_ þ k x u (7) ðÞ in d1 k1 2 2 2 2 where f and f are the damping and restoring forces acting on the support.

For the coupled system, vibration energy is dissipated by the damping in the primary structure and the NES. Thus, the total instantaneous dissipated power is P ¼ P þ P þ P ¼ fðÞ x_ x_ þ fðÞ x_ u_ þ fðÞ x_ x_ (9) d d1 d2 d3 d1 1 2 d2 2 d3 2 3 where P , P , and P are the dissipated power by damper c , damper c , and damper c , respectively; d1 d2 d3 1 2 3 f ¼ cðÞ x_ x_ , f ¼ cðÞ x_ u_ , and f ¼ cðÞ x_ x_ are the damping forces in the main structure and in d1 1 2 1 d2 2 2 d3 3 2 3 the NES.

Both the satellite and the NES can absorb vibration energy from the vibration generator. The more energy the NES absorbs, the less energy the satellite is flowed. So power absorption ratio may be defined as the following formulation R ¼ (13) in Clearly, a large power absorption ratio means a good performance of NES. In comparison, the kinetic energy of a structure is often used as a measure to examine the NES control effectiveness.

The vertical coordinate of P and P is a dB scale with a reference level of 10 W. The vertical a in coordinate of K is a dB scale with a reference level of 10 J. Furthermore, the effects of mass, viscous damping, and cubic nonlinear stiffness of the NES on vibration power flows are investigated. The vibration reduction performance of the NES is evaluated by the power absorption ratio, which is compared with the kinetic energy of the oscillator. Figures 4 and 5 examine the influence of varying NES mass m on time-averaged power flow as well as power 7 3 absorption ratio and kinetic energy. With the fixed cubic nonlinear stiffness k =10 N/m and the viscous damping coefficient c ¼ 300 N s/m of the NES, the mass m of the NES is changed from 4 to 6 kg and then 3 3 Zhang et al. 347 (a) (b) Figure 4. Time-averaged (a) input power and (b) absorbed power of systems with varying mass m . NES: nonlinear energy sink. (a) (b) Figure 5.

Figure 4(a) shows that the two peaks of time-averaged input power P can be reduced by introducing the in NES into the primary system; however, P becomes large at other frequencies. When the NES mass is increased, in the time-averaged input power P around the first resonant frequency decreases gradually, whereas the P in the in in low-frequency range increases. Figure 4(b) shows that the time-averaged absorbed power P becomes large over all frequency ranges as the NES mass increases. Moreover, the time-averaged input and absorbed powers of the system are all large at two resonant frequencies, although the response amplitude of the mass m is very small at the second resonance frequency. Figure 5(a) and (b) presents the variations of the power absorption ratio and kinetic energy of the oscillator in the frequency domain, respectively. Figure 5(b) shows that the power absorption ratio of NES is good at all frequencies over the 160 Hz frequency band with the exception of an antiresonance region near 28 Hz. The drop off of the power absorption ratio is acceptable since the NES is antiresonant at this frequency, which can be seen in Figure 3(c). Figure 5 demonstrates that the increase in the NES mass enhances the vibration absorption performance of the NES at all frequencies by increasing power absorption ratio and reducing kinetic energy of the oscillator. However, a relatively light NES is required in engineering design. The NES mass can only increase in a certain range. Figures 6 and 7 consider the effects of varying NES viscous damping coefficients c on vibration power flow of the system and kinetic energy of the oscillator. The damping coefficient c of the NES changes from 300 to 7 3 700 N s/m and then to 1100 N s/m. The other parameters of the NES are set as m =4 kg, k =10 N/m . Figure 6 3 3 (a) shows that introducing the NES can reduce the peak values of time-averaged input power P around two in resonance frequencies. By contrast, the P of the system coupled to an NES becomes larger at other frequencies in than that of the system with no NES attached. Figure 6 shows that the increase in NES damping coefficient can decrease the time-averaged input power P and increase the time-averaged absorbed power P around the second- in a order resonant frequency. However, there is no such a monotonous relation with P and P over the first-order in a resonant frequency region. Furthermore, the change of the damping coefficient slightly affects the natural fre- quencies of the primary structure. 348 Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control 38(2) (a) (b) Figure 6.

Figure 7 plots the variations of power absorption ratio and kinetic energy of the oscillator against the exci- tation frequency. The figure shows that the power absorption ratio of NES is high at all frequencies except at an antiresonance region. This result is also caused by the antiresonance of the NES response amplitude d. Moreover, the increase in the NES damping coefficient is beneficial in enhancing power absorption ratio and attenuating kinetic energy in the high-frequency range; however, such increase can deteriorate the NES performance in the low-frequency range as shown in Figure 7. Figures 8 and 9 investigate the effects of varying cubic nonlinear stiffness k of the NES on vibration power flow and dynamic performance of the system. The parameters of the NES are set as m =4 kg and c = 300 N s/m. 3 3 7 7 3 8 3 The cubic nonlinear stiffness k of the NES changes from 10 to 5 10 N/m and then to 10 N/m . When the NES is attached to the primary structure, the two peak values of time-averaged input power P are reduced as in Zhang et al. 349 (a) (b) Figure 9. Kinetic energy (a) of the oscillator and power absorption ratio (b) with varying nonlinear stiffness k . NES: nonlinear energy sink. shown in Figure 8(a). However, the P becomes large at other frequencies with the introduction of NES into the in system. Figure 8 also shows that the increase in cubic nonlinear stiffness can increase the time-averaged absorbed power P and reduce the time-averaged input power P around the first-order natural frequency. The nonlinear a in stiffness has slight effect on the P and P at the other frequencies. a in Figure 9 presents the variations of power absorption ratio R and kinetic energy K of the oscillator in the a 1 frequency domain when the nonlinear stiffness k changes. When the nonlinear stiffness k of the NES increases, 3 3 there is a peak in the curve of power absorption ratio which occurs at the first resonant frequency as shown in Figure 9(b). Moreover, the peak value of power absorption ratio at the first natural frequency gradually becomes high as nonlinear stiffness increases. Correspondingly, the first peak in the kinetic energy of oscillator is reduced by increasing k . Hence it can be concluded that the increase in nonlinear stiffness k of the NES can improve its 3 3 vibration suppression performance at the first resonant frequency. Conclusions The power flow analysis approach is for the first time proposed for quantitatively evaluating the dynamic per- formance of an NES in the frequency domain. A system of 2-DOF whole-spacecraft structure with the NES attached is adopted. Analytical approximation and numerical integration are applied for solving the dynamic equations of the whole-spacecraft vibration reduction system. The effects of the varying NES parameters on the vibration absorption performance of the NES are revealed. The investigation yields the following conclusions: (1) the NES can produce quite high power absorption ratio over a broad frequency spectrum except at an antireso- nance region near 28 Hz, (2) the harmonic balance method is verified by numerical integration to solve this mathematical model, (3) the NES vibration reduction performance becomes better at all frequencies as the NES mass increases, (4) the increase in cubic nonlinear stiffness of the NES significantly enhances its performance only around the first resonance frequency of system, and (5) the effects of NES viscous damping on the performance in the high-frequency range are different to that in the low-frequency range.
