This work develops a model of an active control isolation system for the vibrations produced by the elevator drive machine. This solution proposes the substitution of conventional passive isolators by new ones made of a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), a smart material whose modulus can be modified by applying a magnetic field. To guide the design process, MRE isolators are fabricated and experimentally tested statically and dynamically in compression mode. Subsequently, the parameters of the MRE are fitted to build a nonlinear material sub-model that accounts for the frequency, amplitude, and magnetic field dependency. Afterward, a global model of the elevator drive machine vibration isolation system is developed, which incorporates the drive machine, structure, and MRE-based isolator. To enhance vibration isolation, two active control strategies are designed and assessed. Simulation results predict that active control systems based on MRE isolators improve vibration isolation as compared to traditional passive systems. The excitation amplitude and frequency, along with the control strategy and magnetization of the MRE isolators are shown to be critical parameters when designing an active control solution.","PeriodicalId":16121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72725456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, fundamental solution of a PE structure is essential. This paper presents three-dimensional (3D) static and dynamic solutions (i.e. Green’s functions) in a multilayered transversally isotropic (TI) PE layered half-space. The uniform vertical mechanical load, vertical electrical displacement, and horizontal mechanical load are applied on the surface of the structure. The novel Fourier-Bessel series (FBS) system of vector functions (which is computationally more powerful and streamlined) and the dual-variable and position (DVP) method are employed to solve the related boundary-value problem. Two systems of first-order ordinary differential equations (i.e. the LM- and N-types) are obtained in terms of the FBS system of vector functions, with these expansion coefficients being the Love numbers. A recursive relation for the expansion coefficients is established by using DVP method that facilitates the combination of two neighboring layers into a new one and minimizes the computational effort to a great extent. The corresponding physical-domain solutions are acquired by applying the appropriate boundary/interface conditions. Several numerical examples pertaining to static and dynamic response are solved, and the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed solutions are validated with the existing results for the reduced cases. The solutions provided could be beneficial to better developments of PE materials, configurations, fabrication, and applications in the future.","PeriodicalId":16121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90478196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The harvester consists of a composed beam constructed with two arc-shaped structures and a flat beam, as well as two proof masses. A method based on chained beam constraint model theory (CBCM) is first applied to build the nonlinear restoring force model of the CD-PEH, the developed analytical model is validated by the finite element analysis (FEA). Then the electromechanically coupled model for the CD-PEH is built to investigate the effect of excitation amplitudes, geometric parameters and load resistance on the output characteristics. Due to the geometric nonlinearity caused by the arc-shaped configuration, the CD-PEH orderly exhibits quasi-linear, softening nonlinear and mixed hardening & softening nonlinearity behavior with the increasing of excitation level, which could effectively extend the frequency bandwidth of the system. For the excitation of A = 8 m/s2, the effective working bandwidth of the CD-PEH is increased by 633% compared with the effective bandwidth in the case of A = 2 m/s2. Moreover, comparison experiments demonstrate that the output voltage and the effective bandwidth are increased by 225 and 450%, respectively, compared with the typical doubly-clamped piezoelectric energy harvester (T-PEH) under the same excitation amplitude.

Frequency response parameters of the cantilever sensors are tracked in vacuum as well as in water, glycerin and varying concentration glycerin solution. These parameters are used to develop the calibration curves for the density and viscosity assessment of the water-glycerin solutions. The calculated density and viscosity utilizing the cantilever sensors are in good agreement with the respective values given by the standard instruments. This implies that the presented sensors can be successfully used for density and viscosity measurement of range 1000–1270 kg/m3 and 12.82–41.35 cP, respectively.

The backup function is enabled by the addition of a set of piezoelectric ceramics (PZT).

This backup motor can operate in three working modes according to the excitation settings of PZTs, namely normal mode, backup mode, and enhanced mode. The relationships between three working modes’ performances are analyzed by finite element (FE) analysis and prototype tests. The results show that backup mode, as the substitution, can nearly reach normal mode’s performance, while enhanced mode is obviously higher than others. Furthermore, a modified backup motor with straight-tooth (STBM) and different sizes of PZT is designed and tested as a supplement to verify the feasibility of the proposal. In addition, the effect of stress reduction on PZT damage is verified by extreme working experiments. The comparison between the two types of motors indicates that STBM can provide better frictional drive performance. This proposal can provide a new reference for the subsequent reliability study of ultrasonic motors.","PeriodicalId":16121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86208962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the nonlinear dynamics inherent in MRE isolators present formidable obstacles for the establishment of accurate models and development of effective control strategies for practical implementation. In this work, the dynamic properties of a self-made MRE isolator under different loading conditions are tested and analyzed. Then the nonparametric forward model and inverse model of MRE isolator based on BPNN (back propagation neural network) are established respectively, and the GA (genetic algorithm) is used to optimize the neural structure of BPNN. The precision and accuracy of the forward and inverse model is verified by comparing the predicted and experimental data.

Based on this, we take an eight-story shear frame building based on the proposed MRE vibration isolator model as the research object and numerically studied the vibration suppression effect under the control of three typical control algorithms, that is, LQR, FC, and FC-PID. In the process of evaluating the effect of vibration isolation control, in addition to utilizing the traditional displacement amplitude, layer distance and acceleration as evaluation indexes, we also propose a new comprehensive evaluation index which has weighting coefficients and considers the input cost.
