“…The DMF was a subject of intensive research [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], and has been used in passenger car since the 1980s [9]. To increase the quality of vibration attenuation, the concept of a DMF began to be modified by incorporating additional spring-mass components by combining with a so-called centrifugal pendulum vibration absorber, and additional absorbers with smooth and non-smooth nonlinearities [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Interesting research is ongoing on the development of controlled DMF for torsional vibration attenuation in powertrain systems using controllable magnetorheological elastomeric springs and an appropriate controller design [15][16][17].…”

Enhanced efficiency of heavy-duty truck powertrains with constraints imposed on noise, vibration, and harshness requires novel solutions for torsion vibrations attenuation. In the paper, the weight-vibration Pareto optimization problem for a novel vibration absorber, a triple mass flywheel, for application in heavy-duty truck powertrains is considered. Global sensitivity analysis and Pareto optimization method are used to design a novel vibration absorber. The optimization method attempts to minimize oscillations of the torque at the transmission input shaft as well as to minimize total mass inertia of the absorber. It is shown that there exists a Pareto front between the measure of the attenuation of oscillations of the torque and the total mass inertia of a triple mass flywheel. The optimized design parameters for the absorber are obtained that provide the best attenuation of oscillations of the torque at the transmission input shaft for different mean values of the engine driving torque. The analysis shows real evidence of the feasibility of the application of this concept of vibration absorbers in heavy-duty truck powertrains. It is also shown that optimized design parameters of a triple mass flywheel put this concept in a superior position in comparison with a dual mass flywheel.

“…This requires advancing the available solutions for noise and vibration attenuation, making the design of efficient torsional vibration absorbers for drivetrain systems of ground vehicles a very important and challenging problem. Academic and industrial research dealing with modeling, simulation and analysis of torsional vibration dynamics, and design and optimization of vibration absorbers for the drivetrains of different engineering systems has already been conducted, see for instance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…One of the well-known designs of vibration absorbers is the dual mass flywheel (DMF). The DMF was a subject for intensive research, see e.g., [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and has been used in passenger cars since 1985 [19]. The application of a DMF for heavy-duty trucks is also an important topic which still is not sufficiently presented in the literature.…”

In this paper, the feasibility of the application of a dual mass flywheel (DMF) for heavy-duty truck drivetrain systems was studied. The third engine order vibration harmonic was in the focus of analysis as one of the most significant contributions to the oscillatory response in the drivetrain systems of heavy-duty trucks. Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) and Pareto optimization were used for designing torsional vibration absorbers in an operating engine speed range of 600–2000 rpm. The optimization method attempted both to minimize the oscillations of the torque at the transmission input shaft and to maximize the energy efficiency of the vibration absorber. The GSA enabled the appropriate scanning of the domain of design parameters by varying all the parameters at the same time. It provided deep insight into the design process and increased the computational efficiency of the optimization. The results obtained show the following: the solution of the bi-objective optimization problem for torsional vibration absorbers does exist; Pareto fronts were obtained and analyzed for the DMF, presenting a trade-off between the measure of the attenuation of the oscillations of the torque at the transmission input shaft and the measure of the energy efficiency of the absorber; the optimized mass inertia, stiffness and damping parameters of a DMF do exist, providing the best attenuation of the torque oscillations; the performance of a DMF was further enhanced by incorporating a torsional tuned mass damper with appropriate optimized parameters. Finally, the results show evidence of the feasibility of the application of dual mass flywheels in heavy-duty truck drivetrain systems.

“…Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the most practical rotating vibration that occurs over a broader range of frequencies. In this regard, Haris et al 7 used nonlinear vibration absorbers (nonlinear energy sinks (NESs)) to study vibration mitigation within a broader range of frequencies by applying a nonlinear stiffness such as cubic springs.…”

Torsional vibration usually occurs in the working process of machines and equipment such as in transmission drive and working shaft of machine tool. To reduce this vibration, the dynamic balancing method and dual mass flywheel systems are applied. There are fewer researches that used the dynamic vibration absorber for reducing the torsional vibration. However, an analytical solution for designing the optimal parameters of dynamic vibration absorbers attached to the damped main system is found to be difficult and complicated. This paper proposes a novel idea to approximately replace an original damped main system by an equivalent undamped system using the least squares estimation of equivalent linearization method. An explicit closed-form expression of the optimal damping ratio and tuning parameters of dynamic vibration absorber are determined for the undamped main system under torsional excitation. The expressions are quite simple and have effective practical applications. Numerical results for time and frequency responses of the system are presented to reveal stronger effect and accuracy of the proposed solution on the damped main system. It is observed that the torsional vibration of the damped main system has been reduced significantly also in the resonant region. The proposed expressions of the optimal parameters are powerful tools for design dynamic vibration absorber to reduce the torsional vibration of rotary system such as the transmission and working shafts, etc.
