However, the introduction of strong nonlinear characteristics by NESs complicates system responses, leading to a loss of effectiveness when the excitation force exceeds a specific threshold. Consequently, NESs have limited applicability in engineering because they are effective only within a constrained range of excitation amplitude. In this study, a compound NES (CNES) with multiple motion types is designed to extend the effective force range while maintaining broadband vibration reduction capability. The CNES is distinguished by its piecewise stiffness, collision mechanisms, and unique design of two-degree-of-freedom oscillators. The wide effective range of the CNES is demonstrated through slow linear sweep and fixed-frequency tests. The results indicate that the CNES effectively reduces vibrations in the primary oscillator (PO) with various resonant frequencies. Notably, the CNES achieves significant vibration reduction over a particularly wide range of excitation amplitude when controlling the PO with relatively high resonance frequencies (approximately 10.5 Hz and 19 Hz). However, a nonnegligible limitation of the CNES is its restricted effective range of excitation amplitude when the PO resonates at lower frequency (approximately 7 Hz). Moreover, five motion types of the CNES are identified and analyzed, with one motion type autonomously emerging in response to changes in excitation parameters, ensuring excellent vibration reduction performance across a wide excitation range. Finally, the performance of the CNES and a degraded single-degree-of-freedom CNES are compared to further demonstrate the extension effect of the multiple motion types on the effective range. The CNES can be used in scenarios where the parameters of protected systems and excitations vary widely, providing a thought to improve the NESs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"617 ","pages":"Article 119273"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144279154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formula for calculating the number of inequivalent nodes is given, which indicates that it can generally be increased either by inserting nodes or by redefining the unit cell.

This paper formulated a systematically novel nonlinear dynamic model of a drill string that considered combined effects of axially moving and spinning motions, the frictional interaction at the drill bit, and internal and external drilling fluid circulation. For the aim of investigating the combined effects of axially moving and spinning motions, a degenerated linear dynamic model of the axially moving and spinning drill string (ASDS) is studied analytically. A novel aspect of this work is that firstly the effects of axially moving and spinning motions, with both internal and external drilling fluid circulation on forced vibration of the drill string are all considered. The extended Hamilton principle is used to establish the systematical nonlinear dynamic model of the drill string. The Green’s function and the Laplace transform are then applied to obtain the fundamental solution of the vibration equation, which is general and can be adapted to various boundary conditions. In the numerical results section, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by comparing it with existing results from references.

The study is motivated by the need to predict the dynamic behavior of the rotorshaft in the presence of radial contact between the labyrinth and the annular stator. If rotordynamics accounting for unilateral and frictional contact is widely developed in literature, the combination with an unknown rotational velocity and thermomechanical coupling must still be investigated. Indeed, heat generation and subsequent thermal expansion is expected to modify the contact interface and the dynamic response. The system is solved in the time domain and contact treatment is achieved though a modified version of the Carpenter algorithm. The identification of the conditions affecting the rotational speed is achieved through a sensitivity analysis on the stator properties, friction coefficient and coefficient of thermal expansion.

A partitioned strongly coupled nonlinear frequency-domain finite element method is established to solve the nonlinear beam and acoustic equations. The modal and harmonic components of beam displacement, acoustic pressure, excitation input energy, beam damping dissipation energy, and acoustic radiation energy are analyzed for elucidating the coupling mechanisms. The results show that, under the same external harmonic excitation conditions, compared to the frequency responses of beam displacement and acoustic pressure in air, those in water shift to lower frequencies, with larger amplitudes and stronger nonlinear effects. Due to the structural cubic geometric nonlinearity and large-amplitude excitation, super-harmonic resonances are observed in the frequency responses of beam displacement and acoustic pressure. Under super-harmonic resonance and low-order primary resonance conditions, the triple-frequency components of most modes account for a significant proportion of their total responses. Under high-order primary resonance conditions, compared to air, the beam vibration in water is more likely to excite low-order modes in the radiated acoustic field. Relatively high acoustic radiation efficiency can be witnessed in the first primary resonance in air and the high-order primary resonance in water.
