Abstract:
This work investigates the use of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for vibration isolation and damping of mechanical systems. The first part of this work evaluates the nonlinear dynamics of a passive vibration isolation and damping (PVID) device through numerical simulations and experimental correlations. The device, a mass connected to a frame through two SMA wires, is subjected to a series of continuous acceleration functions in the form of a sine sweep. Frequency responses and transmissibility of the device as well as temperature variations of the SMA wires are analyzed for the case where the SMA wires are pre-strained at 4.0% of their original length. Numerical simulations of a one-degree of freedom (1-DOF) SMA oscillator are also conducted to corroborate the experimental results. The configuration of the SMA oscillator is based on the PVID device. A modified version of the constitutive model proposed by Boyd and Lagoudas, which considers the thermomechanical coupling, is used to predict the behavior of the SMA elements of the oscillator. The second part of this work numerically investigates chaotic responses of a 1- DOF SMA oscillator composed of a mass and a SMA element. The restitution force of the oscillator is provided by an SMA element described by a rate-independent, hysteretic, thermomechanical constitutive model. This model, which is a new version of the model presented in the first part of this work, allows smooth transitions between the austenitic and the martensitic phases. Chaotic responses of the SMA oscillator are evaluated through the estimation of the Lyapunov exponents. The Lyapunov exponent estimation of the SMA system is done by adapting the algorithm by Wolf and co-workers. The main issue of using this algorithm for nonlinear, rateindependent, hysteretic systems is related to the procedure of linearization of the equations of motion. The present work establishes a procedure of linearization that allows the use of the classical algorithm. Two different modeling cases are considered for isothermal and non-isothermal heat transfer conditions. The evaluation of the Lyapunov exponents shows that the proposed procedure is capable of quantifying chaos in rate-independent, hysteretic dynamical systems.

Abstract:
Vibration isolators are often assumed to possess linear viscous damping which has well known consequences for their performance. However, damping may be designed to be or prove to be nonlinear. This study investigates the effect of cubic damping, as an example of damping nonlinearity, in a single degree of freedom (SDOF) vibration isolation system. The response behaviour due to two excitation types, namely harmonic and broadband excitations, was examined. For harmonic excitation, the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) was applied to yield approximate closed form solutions and simplified analytical expressions implicitly show the influence of cubic damping for particular frequency regions. The HBM solutions were verified using direct numerical integration. The presence of cubic damping proves to be beneficial for the force excited case. It reduces response amplitude around the resonance frequency and has similar response to an undamped system in the isolation region. In contrast, for base excitation, the cubic damping is detrimental at high excitation frequencies as the base excitation and isolated mass move almost together. The effect becomes more pronounced for larger excitation amplitudes. The case of base excitation was then considered for broadband excitation. The responses using direct numerical integration were presented using power spectral densities. In contrast to harmonic excitation, the amplitude of the response does not appear to approach that of the input. Instead, a higher effective cubic damping results in a higher vibration level of the isolated mass at frequencies below the resonance frequency. It also does not reduce explicitly the response amplitude around the resonance frequency unlike the linear viscous damping. For a constant displacement amplitude random excitation, the excitation frequency bandwidth is found to be a significant factor in the level of effective cubic damping. A broader excitation bandwidth results in a higher level of cubic damping force. The theoretical and numerical results for both harmonic and broadband excitation were validated experimentally. The experimental investigation was performed using a SDOF base excited vibration isolation system possessing a simple velocity feedback control active damper to reproduce the nonlinear damping force. The predictions were shown to be in good agreement with measurements thereby verifying the effects of cubic damping on a SDOF system undergoing harmonic and broadband base excitation.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with semi-active damping control for vibration isolation of base disturbances. The aim is to investigate the effectiveness and suitability of semi-active damping control strategies for improving steady-state vibration isolation. A single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, comprising a semi-active damper with a linear passive spring in parallel, is used to study the vibration isolation of base excitation. The semi-active control strategies investigated include on-off skyhook control, continuous skyhook control, on-off balance control and continuous balance control. Chatter and jerk problems are investigated, which can arise in numerical simulations and possibly in practice when using semi-active control strategies. Anti-chatter and anti-jerk control strategies are proposed. These control strategies are implemented numerically in Matlab/Simulink. Harmonic, periodic and random disturbances are considered in this thesis. The vibration isolation performance is evaluated in terms of Root-Mean-Square (RMS) acceleration transmissibility. The performance of these control strategies for the isolation of harmonic disturbances is firstly studied. The performance is compared with those of an adaptive-passive control strategy, a conventional and a skyhook passive damper. Results show that the semi-active control strategies can provide a better isolation than a conventional passive system with an equivalent damping level. The semi-active damper can provide isolation over the whole frequency range if the on-state damping of the semi-active damper is big enough. The fraction of time when the damper is turned on or off is found to be frequency dependent. The effects of secondary frequency, which is a harmonic or subharmonic of the fundamental frequency on switching time of the semi-active damper for isolation of the primary harmonic are examined. Upper bounds are derived for fraction of time when the switching time for the fundamental frequency may be affected by the presence of a secondary frequency. The performance of the semi-active isolation system for periodic and random disturbances, where there is more than one harmonic in the disturbance spectrum is investigated. The results for square wave and triangular wave disturbances suggest that semi-active control strategies are promising for periodic disturbance. Three special cases are considered for random disturbances when the acceleration, velocity and displacement inputs have flat spectra. The semi-active control strategies can provide some advantage in performance for random velocity and displacement disturbances with medium to high damping ratios. Only continuous skyhook control strategy can provide some benefit in isolation performance for random acceleration disturbances. Following on from the numerical simulations, experimental work is carried out to validate the simulation results. The experimental set-up incorporates an electromagnetic device as a semi-active damper. The on-off skyhook control algorithm is chosen to be implemented using an analogue circuit. The damping of the electromagnetic semi-active damper is achieved by opening and closing the magnet-coil circuit. Numerical predictions are confirmed by experimental observation. The performance of the electromagnetic damper is limited by the achievable damping level.

Abstract:

Many different active control techniques can be used to control the vibrations of a mechanical structure: they however require at least a sensitive signal amplifier (for the sensor), a power amplifier (for the actuator) and an analog or digital filter (for the controller). The use of all these electronic devices may be impractical in many applications and has motivated the use of the so-called shunt circuits, in which an electrical circuit is directly connected to a transducer embedded in the structure. The transducer acts as an energy converter: it transforms mechanical (vibrational) energy into electrical energy, which is in turn dissipated in the shunt circuit. No separate sensor is required, and only one, generally simple electronic circuit is used. The stability of the shunted structure is guaranteed if the electric circuit is passive, i.e. if it is made of passive components such as resistors and inductors.

This thesis compares the performances of the electric shunt circuits with those of classical active control systems. It successively considers the use of piezoelectric transducers and that of electromagnetic (moving-coil) transducers.

In a first part, the different damping techniques are applied on a benchmark truss structure equipped with a piezoelectric stack transducer. A unified formulation is found and experimentally verified for an active control law, the Integral Force Feedback (IFF), and for various passive shunt circuits (resistive and resistive-inductive). The use of an active shunt, namely the negative capacitance, is also investigated in detail. Two different implementations are discussed: they are shown to have very different stability limits and performances.

In a second part, vibration isolation with electromagnetic (moving-coil) transducers is introduced. The effects of an inductive-resistive shunt circuit are studied in detail; an equivalent mechanical representation is found. The performances are compared with that of resonant shunts and with that of active isolation with IFF. Next, the construction of a six-axis isolator based on a Stewart Platform is presented: the key parameters and the main limitations of the system are highlighted.

Abstract:
In this work, we investigate the active vibration isolation and damping of sensitive equipment. Several single-axis isolation techniques are analyzed and tested. A comparison between the sky-hook damper, integral force feedback, inertial velocity feedback and LagLead control techniques is conducted using several practical examples.

The study of single-axis systems has been developed and used to build a six-axis isolator. A six degrees of freedom active isolator based on Stewart platform has been designed manufactured and tested for the purpose of active vibration isolation of sensitive payloads in space applications. This six-axis hexapod is designed according to the cubic configuration; it consists of two triangular parallel plates connected to each other by six active legs orthogonal to each other; each leg consists of a voice coil actuator, a force sensor and two flexible joints. Two different control techniques have been tested to control this isolator :integral force feedback and Lag-Lead compensator, the two techniques are based on force feedback and are applied in a decentralized manner. A micro-gravity parabolic flight test has been clone to test the isolator in micro-gravity environment.

ln the context of this research, another hexapod has been produced ;a generic active damping and precision painting interface based on Stewart platform. This hexapod consists of two parallel plates connected to each other by six active legs configured according to the cubic architecture. Each leg consists of an amplified piezoelectric actuator, a force sensor and two flexible joints. This Stewart platform is addressed to space applications where it aims at controlling the vibrations of space structures while connecting them rigidly. The control technique used here is the decentralized integral force feedback.

Abstract:
The objective of this thesis is to develop a dual-functional approach to effectively mitigate the earthquake induced vibrations of low- or mid-rise buildings, and at the same time to efficiently harvest utility-scale energy by using an optimally configured multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt in base isolation. In this research, two multi-resonant shunt configurations, parallel and series, were proposed and optimized based on the H2 criteria when the base isolation system is subjected to ground acceleration excitations. The performance of the proposed multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt was compared with traditional multiple tuned mass dampers (TMDs) applied to the base isolation system. It shows that, for multiple TMDs and multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt dampers with 5% total stiffness ratio, the parallel shunt electromagnetic shunt can achieve the best vibration mitigation performance among other types of multi-resonant dampers, including parallel TMDs, series TMDs and the series electromagnetic shunt damper. Case study of a base-isolated structure was analyzed to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt. It shows that both multi-mode shunt circuits outperform single mode shunt circuit by suppressing the primary and the second vibration modes simultaneously. Comparatively, the parallel shunt circuit is more effective in vibration mitigation and energy harvesting, and is also more robust in parameter mistuning than the series shunt circuit. The time history response analysis shows that, under the recorded Northridge earthquake, the instant peak power and total average power capable to be harvested by the multi-resonant shunt can reach up to 1.18 MW and 203.37KW, respectively. This thesis further experimentally validated the effectiveness of the multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt on a scaled-down base-isolated building. The impact hammer test shows that the multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt can achieve enhanced vibration suppression by reducing the first resonant peak by 27.50dB and the second resonant peak by 22.57dB regarding the primary structure acceleration. The shake table test shows that under scaled Kobe and Northridge earthquake signals, the electromagnetic shunt can effectively reduce the vibration resonant peak value by 38.92% and 66.61%, respectively. The voltage simultaneously generated in the multi-mode shunt circuit was also obtained, which demonstrated the dual functions of the multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt in base isolation.

Abstract:
Práce se zabývá návrhem magnetoreologické (MR) vzpěry vibroizolačního systému (VIS) pro kosmický nosič. V rešeršní části jsou popsány vybrané VIS a vzpěry těchto systémů, které byly v kosmických nosičích využity v minulosti. Každá z těchto vzpěr obsahující kapalinu byla těsněna pomocí statických těsnění a pružných vlnovců vyrobených z oceli. Důkladněji byla analyzována vzpěra pasivního systému VIS s označením ELVIS, jehož konstrukce se stala inspirací pro tuto práci. Jedná se o tříparametrický systém, v němž je tlumič uložen na pružině, jejíž tuhost přibližně odpovídá objemové tuhosti vlnovců respektive jejímu průmětu do axiálního směru (pressure thrust stiffness). V práci je představena metodika pro stanovení “pressure thrust stiffness” na základě geometrie vlnovce a také uvedeny parametry vlnovce díky kterým je možné měnit poměr mezi axiální a “pressure thrust stiffness” vlnovce. Tento poměr ovlivňuje v dané koncepci vzpěry její dynamické chování a tím i chování celého VIS. Pro predikci dynamického chování vzpěry byl vytvořen multi-body model VIS založeného na Stewartově plošině a detailnější model jediné vzpěry. Simulace provedené v tomto modelu odhalily parametry, které mají vliv na výkonost tlumiče ve VIS: časová odezva a dynamický rozsah. Díky modelu byl určen rozsah těchto parametrů, ve kterých bude zaručena efektivní funkce vzpěry ve VIS, konkrétně: časová odezva: 0-5ms, dynamický rozsah: 5-10. Před finálním návrhem vzpěry byla sestrojena vzpěra experimentální vzpěra, jejíž parametry byly přesně naměřeny a využity pro verifikaci jednotlivých modelů. Poznatky získané během experimentů byly využity při návrhu finální vzpěry. Jeden z nejdůležitějších poznatků byla nutnost náhrady feritového magnetického obvodu s ohledem na jeho křehkost. Proto byl odvozen tvarový přístup k navrhování rychlých magnetických obvodů z oceli s využitím 3D tisku, který byl následně patentován. Navržená vzpěra obsahuje magnetoreologický ventil jehož odezva je predikována na 1.2 ms a dynamický rozsah 10. V závěru práce je představena metodika, díky které byla vzpěra navržena.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Interferometric gravitational wave detectors are being built around the world with continually improving measurement sensitivities. Noise levels from sources that are intrinsic to these detectors must be reduced to a level below the gravita- tional wave signal. Seismic noise in the low frequency range, which is within the gravitational wave detection bandwidth, is a concern for earth-based detectors. This thesis presents research and development of a high performance vibration isolation system that is designed to attenuate seismic noise. The final design will be used as part of a fully working interferometer at the Australian International Gravitational Observatory (AIGO). Pendulums and springs are conventionally used for the horizontal and vertical vibration isolation components respectively. A complete system comprises of a cascade of these components, each stage dramatically improving the level of isola- tion. The residual motion at the test mass level is thus reduced but is dominated by the normal mode resonances of the chain. A simple and effective method to reduce residual motion further is to add ultra-low frequency pre-isolation stages which suspend the chain. The Roberts Linkage is a relatively new and simple geometrical structure that is implemented in the pre-isolation stages. Here we present experimental results of improving isolation based on mathematical mod- elling. The attenuation of seismic noise in the vertical direction is almost as important as that in the horizontal direction, due to cross-coupling between the two planes. To help improve the vertical performance a lightweight Euler spring that stores no static energy was implemented into the AIGO suspension system. ... Theoretical and experimental results are presented and discussed. Currently the AIGO laboratory consists of two 80 m length arms. They are aligned along the east and south directions. One of AIGO's top priorities is the installation of two complete vibration isolators in the east arm to form a Fabry-Perot cavity. Assembling two suspension systems will enable more accurate performance measurements of the tuned isolators. This would significantly reduce the measurement noise floor as well as eliminate the seismic noise spectrum due to referencing with the ground motion. The processes involved in preparing such a task is presented, including clean room preparation, tuning of each isolator stage, and local control schematics and methods. The status of the AIGO site is also presented.

Abstract:
Automotive engine mounts are used to support engine weight, protect engine from road inputs and isolate transmission of vibrations created by the engine, which has a drastic effect on the noise generated inside the passenger cabin. Most common types of engine mounts are elastomeric and hydraulic mounts, the former having better vibration isolation characteristics whereas the latter displays better shock isolation. Elastomeric mounts are widely used for their low initial cost, while hydraulic mounts with inertia track and decoupler are chosen for their good vibration isolation and shock excitation characteristics. However, hydraulic mounts with inertia track and decoupler are not appropriate for small segment and commercial vehicles due their high initial cost. In this thesis, the effect of the addition of a dry friction damper on the performance of elastomeric automobile engine mounts is investigated. Friction dampers are used to attenuate vibration amplitudes in many applications such as gas turbine engines, railway vehicles, space structures and civil buildings. In this study, a friction element is added to the engine mount at its axial direction and its effect is studied. Results show that, the addition of dry friction damping to the original system increases vibration isolation performance significantly at low frequencies
whereas, due to the increased stiffness of the system, at high frequencies dry friction damper has a mitigating effect on performance. In order to overcome this problem, original system parameters are modified. In the modified system a softer mount that increase vibration isolation performance at high frequencies
but, which might cause excessive static deflection due to reduced stiffness of the system is used. On the other hand, addition of dry friction damping prevents excessive static deflections due to the increased stiffness effect and also increases the performance at high frequencies due to the soft mount. Final results showed that vibration isolation performance at low frequencies increases considerably while vibration isolation performance at high frequency is similar and even slightly better than the original system with addition of dry friction damping.

O isolamento de vibração é a técnica mais utilizada atualmente para a proteção de mecanismos e estruturas que sofrem excitação, seja ela por choque/impacto, seja ela harmônica. Este trabalho adiciona ao isolador de vibração comum, composto por molas e amortecedores, um elemento conhecido como inerter, que recentemente tem chamado bastante a atenção da comunidade científica, e também, separadamente, adiciona amortecedores não lineares, com o intuito de avaliar a influência destes elementos no isolamento. As curvas de transmissibilidade obtidas, que indicam a performance do isolamento à excitação harmônica, para os isoladores com inerter são comparadas à de um isolador comum composto somente por uma mola, e entre elas, enquanto que as curvas obtidas para os isoladores com amortecedores não lineares são comparadas entre si e à de um isolador comum com amortecimento linear. Os resultados obtidos mostram que a adição do inerter aos isoladores de vibração pode ser muito benéfica para o isolamento em determinadas faixas de frequência, mas em outras não, e tais faixas dependem de como o isolador é construído. Além disso, os isoladores com inerter são benéficos principalmente para sistemas subamortecidos. Os isoladores subamortecidos com inerter apresentaram características de isolamento diferentes uns dos outros, o que os leva a serem aplicados em diferentes situações. Os resultados obtidos para os isoladores com amortecedores não lineares mostraram que tais sistemas também podem melhorar ou piorar o isolamento em determinadas faixas de frequência quando comparados à um isolador com amortecimento linear.
The vibration isolation is currently the most used technique for protecting mechanisms and structures which are under shock/impact or harmonic excitation. This work presents to the common vibration isolator, consisted by springs and dampers, an element known as inerter, which recently has took great attention in the scientific community, and also presents the use of non-linear dampers to analyze the influence of these elements on isolation. The transmissibility curves obtained, which indicate the performance of the isolation for systems under harmonic excitation, for the isolators with the inerter element are compared with the spring-damper isolator frequency response as well the isolators with non-linear damping. The results obtained show that the addition of the inerter element can be beneficial for the isolation performance in a frequency range, but degrades the high frequency isolation, and they depend on how the isolator is built. Besides, the isolators with inerter are beneficial mainly for underdamped systems. The different underdamped systems with inerter presented unique isolation characteristics. The results obtained for the isolators with non-linear dampers presented that such systems can also improve the isolation in certain frequency ranges when compared to an isolator with linear damping.

Abstract:
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) uses quantum tunneling effect to study the surfaces of materials on an atomic scale. Since the probe of the microscope is on the order of nanometers away from the surface, the device is prone to noises due to vibrations from the surroundings. To minimize the random noises and floor vibrations, passive vibration isolation is a commonly used technique due to its low cost and simpler design compared to active vibration isolation, especially when the entire vibration isolation system (VIS) stays inside an Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) environment. This research aims to analyze and build a single-stage passive VIS for an STM. The VIS consists of a mass-spring system staying inside an aluminum hollow tube. The mass-spring system is comprised of a circular copper stage suspended by a combination of six extension springs, and the STM stays on top of the copper stage. Magnetic damping with neodymium magnets, which induces eddy currents in the copper conductor, is the primary damping method to reduce the vibrations transferred to the mass-spring system. FEMM and MATLAB® are used to model magnetic flux density and damping coefficients from eddy current effect, which will help determine the necessary damping ratios for the VIS. Viton, which demonstrates a high compatibility with vacuum environments, will also serve as a great damping material between joints and contacts for the housing tube. Viton will be modeled as a Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic material whose material parameters are previous studied, and Abaqus will be used as a Finite Element Analysis software to study the Viton gaskets’ natural frequencies. The natural frequencies of the aluminum hollow tube will also be investigated through Abaqus.

The thesis deals with design magnetorheological strut of vibration isolation adapter for cosmonautics. For its optimization is necessary to create several virtual models. The dynamic model of the mechanism - the Stewart platform, rheological model for determining the damping force of MR damper and model of the magnetic circuit to guarantee the required intensity in the gap. These models, along with controls models that are primarily concerned with strength calculations, will help with design. Designing using virtual models requires constant monitoring and verification. It is a rather broad topic including eliminate vibration also kinematics, dynamics, hydraulics, pneumatics and last but not least electronics and magnetism. It is necessary to communicate with experts in their field and use their knowledge and experience to create, but also to control of the individual models. The thesis was created in cooperation with Honeywell Aerospace Division (ESA).

Abstract:
This study involves the modeling and optimization of heterogeneous (HG) blankets for improved reduction of the sound transmission through double-panel systems at low frequencies. HG blankets consist of poro-elastic media with small, embedded masses, operating similar to a distributed mass-spring-damper system. Although most traditional poro-elastic materials have failed to effectively reduce low-frequency, radiated sound from structures, HG blankets show significant potential. A design tool predicting the response of a single-bay double panel system (DPS) with, acoustic cavity, HG blanket and radiated field, later a multi-bay DPS with frames, stringers, mounts, and four HG blankets, was developed and experimentally validated using impedance and mobility methods (IMM). A novel impedance matrix formulation for the HG blanket is derived and coupled to the DPS using an assembled matrix approach derived from the IMM. Genetic algorithms coupled with the previously described design tool of the DPS with the HG blanket treatment can optimize HG blanket design. This study presents a comparison of the performance obtained using the genetic algorithm optimization routine and a novel interactive optimization routine based on sequential addition of masses in the blanket. This research offers a detailed analysis of the behavior of the mass inclusions, highlighting controlled stiffness variation of the mass-spring-damper systems inside the HG blanket. A novel, empirical approach to predict the natural frequency of different mass shapes embedded in porous media was derived and experimentally verified for many different types of porous media. In addition, simplifying a model for poro-elastic materials for low frequencies that Biot and Allard originally proposed and implementing basic elastomechanical solutions produce a novel analytical approach to describe the interaction of the mass inclusions with a poro-elastic layer. A full-scale fuselage experiment performed on a Gulfstream section involves using the design tool for the positions of the mass inclusions, and the results of the previously described empirical approach facilitate tuning of the natural frequencies of the mass inclusions to the desired natural frequencies. The presented results indicate that proper tuning of the HG blankets can result in broadband noise reduction below 500Hz with less than 10% added mass.

The research program investigated electromagnetic energy regenerative vibration damping; the process of recovering energy from damped, vibrating systems. More specifically, the main research objective was to determine the performance of regenerative damping for the application of vehicle suspension systems. This question emerged due to the need for continuous improvement of vehicle efficiency and the potential benefits possible from the development of regenerative vehicle suspension. It was noted, at the outset of this research, that previous authors had undertaken research on particular aspects of regenerative damping systems. However in this research, the objective was to undertake a broader investigation which would serve to provide a deeper understanding of the key factors. The evaluation of regenerative vibration damping performance was achieved by developing a structured research methodology that began with analysing the overall requirements of regenerative damping and, based on these requirements, investigated several important design aspects of the system. The specific design aspects included an investigation of electromagnetic machines for use as regenerative damping devices. This analysis concentrated on determining the most promising electromagnetic device construction based on its damping and regeneration properties. The investigation then proceeded to develop an 'impedance-matching' regenerative interface, in order to control the energy flows in the system. This form of device had not been previously developed for electromagnetic vibration damping, and provided a significant advantage in maximising energy regeneration while maintaining damping control. The results from this analysis, when combined with the issues of integrating such a system in vehicle suspension, were then used to estimate the overall performance of regenerative damping for vehicle suspension systems. The methodology and findings in this research program provided a number of contributing elements to the field, and provided an insight into the development of regenerative vehicle systems. The findings revealed that electromagnetic regenerative vibration damping may be feasible for applications such as electric vehicles in which energy efficiency is a primary concern, and may have other applications in similar vibrating systems.

Abstract:
Honeycomb-cored sandwich structures are widely used in transport for their high strength-to-mass ratio. Their inherent high stiffness and lightweight properties make them prone to high vibration cycles which can incur deleterious damage to transport vehicles. This PhD thesis investigates the performance of a novel passive damping treatment for honeycomb-cored sandwich structures, namely the Double Shear Lap-Joint (DSLJ) damper. It consists of a passive damping construct which constrains a viscoelastic polymer in shear, thus dissipating vibrational energy. A finite element model of such DSLJ damper inserted in the void of a hexagonal honeycomb cell is proposed and compared against a simplified analytical model. The damping efficiency of the DSLJ damper in sandwich beams and plates is benchmarked against that of the Constrained Layer Damper (CLD), a commonly used passive damping treatment. The DSLJ damper is capable of achieving a higher damping for a smaller additional mass in the host structure compared to the optimised CLD solutions found in the literature. The location and orientation of DSLJ inserts in honeycomb sandwich plates are then optimised with the objective of damping the first two modes using a simple parametric approach. This method is simple and quick but is not robust enough to account for mode veering occurring during the optimisation process. A more complex and computationally demanding evolutionary algorithm is subsequently adopted to identify optimal configurations of DSLJ in honeycomb sandwich plates. Some alterations to the original algorithm are successfully implemented for this optimisation problem in an effort to increase the convergence rate of the optimisation process. The optimised designs identified are manufactured and the modal tests carried out show an acceptable correlation in the trends identified by the numerical simulations, both in terms of damping per added mass and natural frequencies.

Abstract:
The aim of the thesis is to propose active damping as a potential control strategy for chatter instability in machine tools.

The regenerative process theory explains chatter as a closed loop interaction between the structural dynamics and the cutting process. This is considered to be the most dominant reason behind machine tool chatter although other instability causing mechanisms exist.

The stability lobe diagram provides a quantitative idea of the limits of stable machining in terms of two physical parameters: the width of contact between tool and the workpiece, called the width of cut and the speed of rotation of the spindle. It is found that the minimum value of the stability limit is proportional to the structural damping ratio for turning operations. This important finding provides the motivation of influencing the structural dynamics by active damping to enhance stability limits of a machining operation.

A direct implementation of active damping in an industrial environment may be difficult. So an intermediate step of testing the strategy in a laboratory setup, without conducting real cutting is proposed. Two mechatronic "Hardware in the Loop" simulators for chatter in turning and milling are presented, which simulate regenerative chatter experimentally without conducting real cutting tests. A simple cantilever beam, representing the MDOF dynamics of

the machine tool structure constitutes the basic hardware part and the cutting process is simulated in real time on a DSP board. The values of the cutting parameters such as spindle speed and the axial width of cut can be changed on the DSP board and the closed loop interaction between the structure and the cutting process can be led to instability.

The demonstrators are then used as test beds to investigate the efficiency of active damping, as a potential chatter stabilization strategy. Active damping is easy to implement, robust and does not require a very detailed model of the structure for proper functioning, provided a collocated sensor and actuator configuration is followed. The idea of active damping is currently being implemented in the industry in various metal cutting machines as part of the European Union funded SMARTOOL project (www.smartool.org), intended to propose smart chatter control technologies in machining operations.

Abstract:
Vibrations are undesirable and cause many problems in engineering. Among the many techniques to reduce vibrations, phononic crystals and elastic metamaterials, that have periodic variations in geometry or material properties, have the potential to attenuate vibrations over a large range of frequencies. These classes of materials attenuate vibrations via the band gap mechanism that stops elastic waves from propagating. Additionally, periodic structures can possess high effective stiffness or strength to density ratios. This makes them ideal for lightweight structural applications. Furthermore, their periodic nature allows band gaps to be generated in them. These features can be combined to produce lightweight structural components with vibration isolation properties. Currently, very few studies of this class of materials for practical applications were made. Therefore, the goal of the work done in this thesis is to develop techniques and perform analyses to promote their implementation. A literature review has been performed on the techniques to determine the band structures and effective properties of lattice materials. A novel method coined the wave superposition method (WSM) to measure the band structure was developed. This method allows band structures to be determined experimentally using simple equipment with a small number of measurements. The method was then validated experimentally. A parametric study on the mechanical and dispersion properties of cubic lattice structures were conducted to assess the viability of designing a multifunctional lattice structure with excellent properties to be used as multifunctional lightweight and vibration attenuating components. Important trends relating to the geometric parameters to the performance of the lattice structures were found. Lastly, an experimental study was performed on a selected design to demonstrate the vibration attenuation characteristic of this material. The techniques and findings in this thesis, have laid the foundations for future development of periodic structures for both structural and vibration isolation applications.

Abstract:
Sensitive devices are affected by extreme vibration excitations during operation so require isolation from high levels of vibration excitations. When these excitation characteristics of the devices are well known, the vibration isolation can be achieved accurately. However, it is possible to have expected profile information of the excitations with respect to frequency. Therefore, it is practical and useful to implement this information in the design process for vibration isolation. In this thesis, passive vibration isolation technique is examined and a computer code is developed which would assist the isolator selection process. Several sample cases in six degree of freedom are designed for a sample excitation and for sample assumptions defined for an inertial measurement unit. Different optimization methods for design optimizations are initially compared and then different designs are arranged according to the optimization results using isolators from catalogues for these sample cases. In the next step, the probable designs are compared according to their isolator characteristics. Finally, one of these designs are selected for each case, taking into account both the probable location deviations and property deviations of isolators.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Sistemas de isolamento de vibrações são utilizados em uma grande variedade de aplicações (automóveis, edifícios, estruturas espaciais como aeronaves, satélites e em máquinas rotativas) para reduzir a transmissão de vibrações mecânicas geradas por equipamentos ou a eles transmitidas pela vizinhança. Um isolamento é obtido inserindo-se um componente mecânico (isolador) que desempenha o papel de vínculo entre o sub-sistema que contém a perturbação e o sub-sistema a ser isolado. Duas são as quantidades geralmente utilizadas para avaliar a efetividade de um sistema de isolamento: a transmissibilidade e a potência. Neste trabalho foi utilizada a potência, sendo esta uma metodologia mais geral que pode ser facilmente utilizada em sistemas complexos, mas que tem a desvantagem de ser de difícil avaliação experimental. Nesta tese, serão simulados numericamente vários sistemas de isolamento passivo por componentes rígidos ou flexíveis, os quais serão modelados por suas respectivas matrizes de mobilidade ou impedância. Estas matrizes serão obtidas por métodos analíticos ou numéricos dependendo da conveniência de cada caso específico. Os projetos tradicionais de sistemas de isolamento geralmente consideram uma excitação unidirecional e avaliam somente algumas componentes da resposta do sistema, isso devido as limitações impostas pelo conceito da transmisibilidde usados nesses projetos. Além disso, eles não dão a devida importância a alguns parâmetros essenciais de configuração geométrica do sistema (localização e ângulo de inclinação dos isoladores, localização dos apoios de base, etc.). No presente trabalho, será mostrada a relevância desses parâmetros mencionados anteriormente no processo de busca das configurações ótimas e também se verá como essas configurações são fortemente dependentes do tipo de excitação do sistema, para isso serão utilizadas combinações de excitações harmônicas multidirecionais.
Vibration isolation systems are used in a large variety of applications (automotive, buil- dings, spatial structures such as aircrafts, satellites and in rotating machines) in order to reduce the transmission of mechanical vibrations from the equipments toward the foun- ation or viceversa. An isolation is obtained inserting a mechanical component (isolator) that acts as a link between the source subsystem and the isolated subsystem. There are two quantities generally used to evaluate the e®ectiveness of a isolation system: the trans-missibility and the power transmitted. In this work, it has been used the power, being this the most generic methodology that can be easily used in complex systems, but it has the disadvantage of a di±cult experimental validation. In this thesis, it will be studied numerically several passive isolation systems with rigid or °exible components, these will be modeled by theirs mobility or impedance matrices. This matrices are achieved by analytical or numerical methods depending of the convenience in each case. Generally traditional projects of isolation systems consider a unidirectional excitation and evaluate only some components of the response system, this occurs for the limitations in the trans-missibility use. Moreover, they do not give an appropriate attention to some parameters of geometrical con¯guration of the system (location and angle inclination of the isolators, location of the base supports, etc.). Herein, it will be shown the relevance of this pa-rameters in the search process of optimal con¯gurations and it will be also see how they depend strongly on the kind of the system excitation, so it will be used some combinations of multidirectional harmonic excitations.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO
Muitas indústrias usam em seus processos materiais viscoplásticos. Esses materiais possuem propriedades que dependem fortemente da temperatura. Não é incomum encontrar processos envolvendo escoamentos não isotérmicos de materiais viscoplásticos. Nesses casos, informações sobre a transferência de calor são extremamente necessárias para um bom atendimento e aperfeiçoamento das operações. Fluidos de perfuração são tipicamente suspensões aquosas, e, por consequência, de natureza viscoplástica.Tais fluidos devem possuir densidade correta para manter a integridade física dos poços e evitar a produção prematura de hidrocarbonetos. Além disso, suas propriedades reológicas devem garantir a capacidade de arraste das partículas de rocha geradas durante o processo de perfuração, com um mínimo de potência de bombeamento. Tais particularidades requerem fluidos com baixas viscosidades a altas taxas de cisalhamento, que ocorrem em regiões próximas à parede, e altas viscosidades quando as taxas de deformação são baixas, o que ocorre na vizinhança do cascalho. Materiais viscoplásticos apresentam este tipo de comportamento. Portanto, o sucesso do processo de extração do petróleo depende do conhecimento e controle das propriedades reológicas dos fluidos de perfuração, as quais são fortemente dependentes da temperatura. Por esse motivo, a determinação do campo de temperatura no fluido de perfuração em escoamento faz-se necessária ainda em nível de projeto, o que só é possível com o conhecimento dos coeficientes de troca de calor. Estuda-se neste trabalho o problema da transferência de calor na região de entrada de escoamentos laminares de fluidos viscoplásticos através de espaços anulares. O comportamento do material é representado pelo modelo do fluido Newtoniano generalizado, com a função viscosidade descrita pela equação de Herschel-Bulkley. As equações de conservação são resolvidas numericamente via o método de volumes finitos. Investigam-se os efeitos (no coeficiente de troca de calor) da tensão limite de escoamento, índice power-law, razão de aspecto e dos números adimensionais de Reynolds e Peclet. Dentre outras conclusões, mostra-se que o números de Nusselt é uma função muito fraca das propriedades reológicas, desviando-se muito pouco dos valores Newtonianos. Surpreendentemente, esta conclusão contrasta-se fortemente com o comportamento observando em escoamentos de materiais viscoplásticos através de tubos. Convém enfatizar a importância desse fato no que tange a projetos de processos.
There are many industries that use in their processes viscoplastic materials. These materials have properties that strongly depend on temperature. It is not uncommon to find processes involving the non-isothermal flow of viscoplastic materials. For these cases, heat transfer information is needed to allow reliable process designs. Drilling muds are typically aqueous suspensions and, consequently, viscoplastic in nature. They must have the correct density to provide the pressure needed for well integrity, and for avoiding premature production of hydrocarbons. Their rheological properties must be such as to aloe carrying the drill chips with a minimum of pumping power. This requires a highly shear-thinning rheological behavior. Also, the success of a well cementing operation depends to a great extent on the knowledge and control of cement rheological properties, which are also temperature dependent. In this work, heat transfer in the entrance-region flow of viscoplastic materials through annular spaces is analyzed. The flow is laminar, and the material is assumed to behave as a Generalized Newtonian fluid, with a Herschel-Bulkley viscosity function. The conservation equations are solved numerically via a finite volume method. The effect on heat transfer of yield stress, power-law exponent, aspect ratio and dimensionless Peclet and Reynolds numbers is investigated. Among other findings, it is shown that the Nusselt number is a rather weak function of the rheological properties, deviating very little from the Newtonian values. Surprisingly, this stands in strong contrast to the behavior observed for flows of viscoplastic materials through tubes. It is worth noting that this finding has important consequences in process design.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates an alternative solution to deal with the civil structure vibration. Non-contact electromagnetic or Eddy current damping is selected as a score of vibration suppression. Electromagnetic damping relies on the interaction between a permanent magnet and conductor. An electromagnetic damper (EMD) is applied both to a laboratory footbridge structure and 6-storey model-scale aluminium moment resisting frame (AMRF). In this first study the EMD is connected in series with an electronic shunt circuit to construct an electromagnetic shunt damper (EMSD). A robust optimisation method is applied to develop the corresponding optimal design formula of the EMSD. The principle of an EMSD is to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. Hence, the induced electromotive force (emf) is generated by electromagnetic induction. This emf induces an amount of shunt damping, which is fedback to the structure to achieve vibration suppression. It was found that when the impedance was applied, the shunt damping feature was of a similar nature to viscous dampers. In contrast, when an RLC (resistance-inductance-capacitance) circuit is connected, the shunt damping is analogous to a tuned mass damper. A second form of EMD is Eddy current damper (ECD), which relies on a geometrical arrangement of permanent magnets and conductors to produce damping forces. The vertical and horizontal orientation of the magnet, unidirectional and alternative pole projection and moving different direction of the conductor are investigated. A theoretical study involving the infinite boundary and finite boundary (the method of images current) is carried out to obtain an analytical calculation of the damping force. On the basis of this analysis, one type of ECD prototype was physically built. A performance test was carried out to determine the damping characteristics of the ECD, which agreed with the results of the numerical analysis. In addition, the ECD was applied to control the dynamics of the 6-storey AMRF. It was found that, the ECD can effectively increase system damping and have a satisfactory control effect.

Incorporation of a low-density, low-wave-speed medium (LWSM) into a structure yields significant damping if the speed of wave propagation in the medium is low enough for standing waves to arise in it. In this thesis, we characterize wave propagation in low-density granular media and foams for use as structural damping treatments and develop analytical and numerical techniques for prediction of the damping attained in structures that incorporate LWSM. Structural damping by incorporation of LWSM is attractive for hollow thin-walled structures. We develop analytical approximations for the loss-factor in the structural modes of cylindrical shells and Timoshenko beams and attain predictions in good agreement with measurements. For more complicated geometries, it is often necessary to employ a finite element model to predict the dynamics of structures. But inclusion of LWSM into a finite element model significantly increases the size of the model, introduces frequency-dependent material properties, and introduces a large number of modes that are dominated by deformation of the LWSM. Hence, the eigenvalue problem becomes significantly more difficult by addition of the LWSM.
(cont.) We develop an iterative approach based on the eigensolution of a structure without LWSM and the forced response of the LWSM to obtain approximations for the complex eigensolution. Damping by inclusion of LWSM is an attractive option for reduction of the sound radiated from vehicle driveshafts, which are typically thin-walled hollow cylinders with yokes welded at each end. The bending and ovaling modes of the driveshaft between 500 and 3000 Hz are efficient radiators of sound and are excited by gear transmission error in the rear differential. Filling the driveshaft with a. lossy, low-density foam adds significant damping to these modes and thus reduces the radiated sound.

Abstract:
The single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system is the most widely used model for vibration isolation systems. The SDOF system is a simple but worthy model because it quantifies many results of an isolation system. For instance, a SDOF model predicts that the high frequency transmissibility increases when the isolator has passive damping although this does not occur for an isolator implementing active damping. A severe limitation of this system is that it cannot be used when the base and/or equipment are flexible. System flexibility has been considered in previous literature but the flexibility has always been approximated which leads to truncation errors. The analysis used in this work is more sophisticated in that it can model the system flexibility without the use of any approximations. Therefore, the true effects of system flexibility can be analyzed analytically. Current literature has not fully explored the choice of mount frequency or actuator placement for flexible systems either. It is commonly suggested that isolators should be designed with a low-frequency mount. That is, the isolator frequency should be much lower than any of the system frequencies. It is shown that these isolators tend to perform best in an overall sense; however, mount frequencies designed between system modes tend to have a coupling effect. That is, the lower frequencies have such a strong interaction between each other that when isolator damping is present, multiple system modes are attenuated. Also, when the base and equipment are flexible, isolator placement becomes a critical issue. For low-frequency mount designs, the first natural frequency can shift as much as 15.6% for various isolator placements. For a mid-frequency mount design, the shift of the first three modes can be as high as 34.9%, 26.6% and 11.3%, respectively, for varying isolator placements.

Abstract:
The Active Control of Structural Response (ACSR) vibration suppression system, where hydraulic actuators located between the gearbox and the fuselage are used to cancel vibration in large helicopters, has been used successfully for many years. However the power consumed by the actuators can be high, and using hydraulic actuation for smaller rotorcraft has not been seen as practical. In contrast to active vibration reduction systems, passive vibration isolation systems require no external power. Passive vibration isolation systems however have the disadvantage of being limited to working at one specific frequency which will not be acceptable as slowed rotor flight becomes more common for fuel efficiency and noise legislation reasons. In this thesis two electrically powered actuation concepts, one piezoelectric, and one electromagnetic were initially evaluated. An electrically powered actively augmented passive, or hybrid, vibration reduction system based on an electro hydrostatic actuator (EHA) concept was proposed to be developed further. This hybrid actuator will have a wider range of operating frequencies than a purely passive system, and have lower power consumption than a purely active system. The design is termed a “Resonant EHA”; in that the resonant frequency of the coupled fluid, pump and electric motor rotor inertia matches the fundamental vibration frequency. The hydraulic cylinder, fluid and pump act as a single stage gear ratio, and the. brushless electric motor’s inertia is the main resonating mass as in a Dynamic Antiresonant Vibration Isolator (DAVI) passive vibration reduction system. The electrical power is used to compensate for friction in the actuator and other losses, and if needed can shift the operating point away from the resonant frequency. Simulation results indicated that a hydraulic circuit in which the pump leakage is fed back into the low pressure line would introduce unacceptable disturbances in the flows to and from the cylinder. To eliminate the source of the disturbances, a fully integrated electric motor and pump circuit design was chosen in which the electric motor is immersed in hydraulic fluid. An EHA demonstrator was built sized for a 1.5 tonne rotorcraft. For sizing comparison purposes the frameless brushless D.C motor for each strut of 1.5 tonne rotorcraft has a rotor and stator mass of approximately 1 kg, and can produce a continuous stall torque of 2 Nm. The bidirectional pump has a displacement of 1.5 cm3/rev, the mean system pressure was taken as 90 bar, and the double ended hydraulic cylinder has a 32 mm diameter bore, and 18 mm rod. Initial test results for the proof of concept EHA showed highly significant free play with a reversal of torque direction, resulting in unacceptable loss in transmission stiffness. The free play was traced to the gear pump and a hypothesis for the origin of the free play was put forward. To avoid torque reversals the EHA was further tested with a constant offset torque bias which proved successful in restoring a sufficient stiffness to the transmission. The sizing of the electric motor and power consumed with a non-zero offset torque is greater than a torque reversing motor, which limits the immediate application of the device in the present form. Future research investigating the use of other transmission elements, such as a piston pump, to obtain a more linear stiffness is recommended. As a hybrid vibration isolation system a Root Mean Square (RMS) reduction by a factor of four and near elimination of the fundamental frequency vibrations was achieved for the frequency range of 10 to 20 hertz.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007.
Includes bibliographical references (leaf 29).
The LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) project is designed to detect gravitational waves using precision interferometry. The detection from astrophysical sources has the potential to test Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, and additionally open a new window into the universe and its origin. The Initial LIGO detectors are currently operating at a strain sensitivity of 10-21 Hz, or equivalently 1018 m/ [square root of] Hz, at 100 Hz. In order to attain improved sensitivity required for guaranteed detection of astrophysical sources, e.g. coalescing neutron star binaries and black holes, pulsars, and supernovae collapses, improvements of the strain sensitivity must be achieved. Next generation detectors such as Advanced LIGO are under development, which aims to improve the sensitivity by more than a factor of 10 at all frequencies, compared to initial LIGO. This improvement in sensitivity will be achieved in part by improved seismic isolation one component of which is an active vibration isolation platform. Currently, research and development is being conducted at MIT on a prototype of this vibration isolation system. The work described in this thesis focuses on the Internal Seismic Isolation (ISI) system under development for Advanced LIGO.
(cont.) This system consists of a three-stage in-vacuum seismic isolation system which is supported by an external hydraulic actuation stage known as the Hydraulic External Pre-Isolation (HEPI) stages of the active vibration control system. HEPI uses forces generated by hydraulic pressure to cancel low frequency seismic noise, primarily due to forces from ground vibration. The ISI is an actively controlled platform, in which each stage is supported by three maraging steel blade springs. The vibration is sensed in six degrees of freedom and reduced by applying forces through a control feedback loop. In order for the feedback loop to function properly, it is important to know and be able to predict the position of the ISI stages to within a few thousandths of an inch. Since the load being applied to the spring blades is known, the compliance of each spring along with various shim thicknesses will determine the final position of the stages. Although compliance is a material and geometric property, and should remain constant from spring to spring, due to imperfections of the fabrication process and variation in the material properties, small variations in the long and short spring compliance value were detected using a Spring Tester.
(cont.) The blades were designed based on their resonant frequencies and the load which they would be supporting - more specifically, their geometry (length, width, and thickness) were defined such that the load each supported brought them to a 1/3 of their failure stress. For my undergraduate thesis, I determined the compliance of multiple long and short springs was determined using a specially designed apparatus - the "Spring Tester." Ideally, three blade springs of identical compliance should be used to eliminate system imbalance, but to variation during fabrication may be difficult to achieve Using the Spring Tester the mean values for each set of long and short spring linear compliance data were found to be 0.729 +.008 mils/lb and 0.670 ±.027 mils/lb, respectively, while the means for the long and short angular compliance data were 0.078 + .001 mrad/lb and 0.089 ±.003 mrad/lb, respectively.

Abstract:
The work is focused in investigating the effectiveness of discretized damping tapes applied to a cantilever beam subjected to free and forced vibrations. The work is divided into three main sections. First, we performed material characterization of the viscoelastic (VE) pressure sensitive adhesive layer of the damping tapes. To do so, we designed a novel quad shear specimen to measure shear storage and loss moduli, and tan delta from dynamic mechanical analyzer measurements. Second, the optimal discretization length for different damping tapes was experimentally determined and analytically verified using linear viscoelasticity and basic strength of materials and vibrations principles. These results showed a mean to improve the damping of a structure without increasing the weight of the added damping layer. Third, a nonlinear analysis was performed for cantilever beams with damping layers subjected to parametric excitation. Comparison of the response amplitude of the parametrically excited beam was performed for different discretization lengths, and system identification of the nonlinear parameters was carried out. The effects of large deflections of a beam under parametric excitation were analyzed; large deflections were found to induce localized buckling of the stiff constraining layer of the damping tape that would invalidate some of the assumptions and analytical solutions that do not take such phenomena into account.

Abstract:
Advanced materials such as carbon fiber, composite materials et al. are more and more used in modern industry. They make the structures lighter and stiffer. However, they bring vibration problems. Researchers studied numerous methods to eliminate the undesirable vibrations. These treatments are expected to be a compact, light, intellectual and modular system. Recently, a nonlinear technique which is known as Synchronized Switch Damping (SSD) technique was proposed. These techniques synchronously switched when structure got to its displacement extremes that leading to a nonlinear voltage on the piezoelectric elements. This resulting voltage showed a time lag with the piezoelectric strain thus causing energy dissipation. Based on the developed SSD techniques, a new synchronized switch damping e.g. Synchronized Switch Damping with Energy Transfer (SSDET) was proposed in this document. This method damped the vibration by using the energy from other vibrating form. The objectives of the work reported in this document were threefold. The first one consisted of introduction of SSDET principle and developing its control law. This part aimed at establishing the mathematical model and verifying the proposed method by mathematical tools. Then, the experimental validations were carried out. Three experiments with different configurations demonstrated that SSDET can be implemented not only between structures but also vibrating modes in one structure. A SSDET scheme with multi-patches was also investigated for improving the damping. Finally, a bidirectional SSDET concept was introduced based on the original SSDET technique. This technique be regarded as a multimode control SSDET. Since it privileged the target vibration while keeps a decent control effect on the source vibration.
