Nonlinear Aspects of the Performance of Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorbers

Abstract: Centrifugal pendulums have been used for many years to limit the torsional vibration of reciprocating engines. Recently small pendulums, designed to swing through amplitudes of about 45 deg, have been tested for lightweight aircraft engines. These have not functioned properly, and have been found to swing through much larger angles than expected, damaging the stops limiting motion of the pendulum counterweight. This paper investigates the large-amplitude motion of centrifugal-pendulum vibration absorbers.

“…Based on purely linear considerations, the order of the path for a CPVA should be tuned to the frequency of the disturbance torque, that is, nJ G "n. In the linear, undamped case this makes the absorber perfectly e!ective, since the rotor vibrations are completely eliminated. However, the non-linear e!ects that arise from the frequency}amplitude dependence of the absorber can be handled by incorporating a small level of intentional linear mistuning on the path, a technique implemented in practice [14].…”

“…The nonlinear behavior of these devices was first pointed out by Den Hartog (127) , who noted that the frequency shift from softening nonlinear effects, arising from the circular path followed by the absorber mass, would be detrimental to absorber function. These properties were thoroughly fleshed out and translated into design recommendations by Newland (128) , whose intentional over-tuning recomendations are still in use for designing some absorber systems. More recently, these absorbers have been designed such that they follow noncircular paths that alleviate some of the unwanted nonlinear effects.…”

“…It has long been known that intentional mistuning is useful for the case of torsional vibration absorber systems. In centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVAs) with circular paths, intentional mistuning of the absorbers' paths, help to avoid nonlinear jump behavior [13] and other types of nonlinear instabilities [10]. The following numerical example will clarify these findings.…”
