Forced vibration analysis of a system equipped with the nonlinear displacement-dependent (NDD) damper

Abstract

In this paper, the forced vibration analysis of a mass-spring system equipped with a Nonlinear Displacement-Dependent (NDD) damper is elaborated upon. To this end, the nonlinear governing di erential equation of the system is derived for two types of soft-and hard-periodic excitations. In order to obtain the displacement of the excited system, the approximate analytical solution of the governing equation is developed using the Multiple Scales Method (MSM). The proposed analytical formulations are performed for several cases of hard-and soft-excitation and are also veri ed by the numerical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Moreover, the performance of the NDD damper is analyzed and compared with the traditional linear damper used in both hard-and soft-excited vibration analyses. For the same external periodic force, a comparison has also been carried out between the responses of the hard-and soft-excitations. It is found that organizing the external force, based on its amplitude, into two types; soft-and hard-excitation, leads to a better estimated response in the forced vibration analysis. Moreover, the NDD damper has a superior performance in reducing vibration amplitude through tending to the steady-state solution, compared to the traditional linear damper.

A PSO-based computational framework to design active noise cancelation systems for smart vehicle enclosures

“…To control such vibro-acoustic systems, fluidstructure interaction characteristics must be studied in detail, especially for engineering designs with thin-walled structures such as beams and shells. To suppress vibration and noise, dampers are usually used [28][29][30][31] along with barriers isolating the acoustic medium from the vibrating part of the structure. Such approaches are referred to as passive noise cancelation, and they are quite efficient and practical especially for vibrations in high frequencies.…”

“…The main strategies of noise reduction are mainly classified into two categories: passive and active noise reduction methods. Passive noise reduction is mainly based on isolation of noise sources from its environment by using heavy barriers and reactive materials to hinder and block noises and suppress the structural vibrations (e.g., see (Cao et al, 2018; Wu, 2008; Jahanpour et al, 2016a; Jahanpour et al, 2016b; Soltani et al, 2020)). Sound absorption is another passive strategy to reduce the noise energy.…”
