The application of the non-perturbative method (NPM) in conjunction with the masking technique was a pivotal aspect of this research, transforming the inherently non-homogeneous, nonlinear system into a homogeneous linear system. This transformation was crucial as it simplified the complex dynamics of the system, rendering it more amenable to analysis. Through this method, the research successfully established the system’s overall frequency, meticulously accounting for the impact of the periodic external force. The study also identified a distinct type of resonance response, where the system’s frequency incorporates the excited frequency in a nonlinear relationship. The masking technique proved to be an invaluable tool for examining the stability behavior of forced vibrations in oscillators via the NPM, providing profound insights into stability under external forces and enhancing the understanding and control of oscillatory behaviors in nonlinear dynamical systems. A critical confirmation of the current methodology is provided by the remarkable agreement found between the numerical solution and the provided analytical solution. This agreement shows that the analytical method produces trustworthy predictions and appropriately describes the system’s behavior. The plotted stability diagrams, which demonstrate that the model’s simulation of stability behavior is consistent with observed events, particularly resonance phenomena, offer further validity for the findings. In the resonance case, the effects of the damping coefficient and the external force’s magnitude are significant. The results of the analysis show that an increase in the damping coefficient has a destabilizing effect that causes unstable zones to expand. In contrast, in the resonance state, the quadratic and cubic nonlinearity factors both contribute to stabilization. Understanding how various system factors impact stability dynamics particularly in relation to resonance phenomena is made easier with the help of this insight.","PeriodicalId":504307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control","volume":"68 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem is even more important with passive silencers, which require absorbent materials and more space. Passive silencers include reactive and dissipative silencers. Among reactive silencers, Helmholtz resonators, expansion chambers, flute-like, drum-like, and plate silencers have proven effective at low frequencies. Combining some of these silencers with a dissipative silencer, called a hybrid silencer, can achieve excellent performance at a wide range of low to high frequencies. In these silencers, the reactive part reduces noise at low frequencies, and the dissipative part reduces noise at medium and high frequencies. The aim of this work, which focuses more on experimental studies, is to introduce the mentioned silencers, investigate the presented methods to improve the performance of these silencers at low frequencies, and offer the practical advantages and disadvantages of these methods.","PeriodicalId":504307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control","volume":"23 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140982589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Active-passive hybrid isolation is the primary method for reducing low-frequency radiated noise from ships; however, technical challenges remain, such as effectively integrating active and passive components, achieving high output force in a compact design, and addressing the poor linearity of actuator output at low frequencies. To address these issues, this paper presented an innovative electromagnetic-hydraulic-rubber integrated vibration isolator. Firstly, the study analyzed the dynamic characteristics of a two-degree-of-freedom isolation system and investigated the influence of active-passive hybrid vibration isolator parameters on control force and vibration reduction performance. Secondly, it was established that the magnetic circuit model and magnetic field strength expressions for the electromagnetic actuator using magnetic circuit analysis derive the analytical relationship between electromagnetic force, current amplitude, and frequency using the energy method. Subsequently, a mathematical model was developed for the rubber-hydraulic suspension component to examine its dynamic characteristics, hydraulic damping, and hydraulic force amplification transmission laws. Lastly, we organically combine the electromagnetic actuator with the rubber-hydraulic suspension and conduct a multi-physics joint simulation of the integrated vibration isolator using Comsol software to verify the effectiveness of the optimized design and vibration isolation control. Experimental research was carried out on the dynamic characteristics, output force properties, and fatigue characteristics of the integrated vibration isolator prototype. Results indicated that the established models and methods can achieve over 90% accuracy in predicting the performance of the electromagnetic actuator’s output force and exhibit good linearity within the 5–400 Hz range. The rubber-hydraulic suspension can achieve an amplification factor of up to 1.5 for the electromagnetic force while reducing the transmission of vibrations to the base.

This noise, characterized by stable and concentrated energy, long transmission distances, and difficulty in elimination, becomes the primary target for enemy sonar detection. Active vibration isolation serves as a critical method for reducing low-frequency vibrations in ships and enhancing their acoustic stealth performance. However, control challenges persist, including multi-frequency excitation, frequency fluctuation, multi-channel coupling, and slow convergence speed. To address these issues, this paper introduced an innovative multi-channel decentralized decoupling filtered-x least mean square (DMFxLMS) algorithm. Firstly, a recursive least squares identification algorithm with a forgetting factor was proposed, taking into account the characteristics of single-input, multi-output and multi-input, and multi-output control systems, effectively enhancing the algorithm’s convergence speed and control accuracy. Secondly, based on the decentralized decoupling control concept, the multi-channel control system was simplified into parallel single-channel control loops. The control weight coefficient updates were only related to adjacent error signals, significantly reducing the algorithm’s computational complexity. Thirdly, an anti-impact link was designed to improve the algorithm’s robustness, considering the interference caused by other mechanical equipment during the control process. The influence of abnormal error signals in the control weight coefficient correction term was suppressed, and a percentage function was introduced to limit the output signal. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the DMFxLMS algorithm were verified through simulations and experiments. The results demonstrated that the DMFxLMS algorithm achieved significant control effects for both constant frequency line spectrum excitation and frequency fluctuating line spectrum excitation, fulfilling the objective of reducing base vibration. The DMFxLMS algorithm exhibited fast convergence and excellent robustness, making it suitable for practical engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":504307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control","volume":"84 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140983193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper establishes a half-vehicle model with nonlinear wheel/rail equivalent conicity and interactive forces. Additionally, the dynamic performances of vehicle under various levels of wheel wear with passive suspension are compared and analyzed. Importantly, the investigation delves into the hunting stability of the vehicle system, employing both linear and nonlinear control approaches. The results demonstrate a notable reduction in critical speed during the end-worn period with a passive suspension. However, this reduction can be substantially countered through the application of active control, resulting in a significant speed increase. The implementation of stiffness control raises the frequency of limit cycles, whereas damping control serves to diminish it. Notably, an appropriate linear cubic stiffness control effectively mitigates the amplitudes of limit cycles during instances of instability. Moreover, the control strategy derived from the simplified model is extended to enhance the stability of the entire vehicle system. The research findings hold the potential to offer a promising strategy for the active control of high-speed vehicles, particularly during periods of wheel wear.","PeriodicalId":504307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140995409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is little research experience in the vibration characteristics and track damping design for this type of structure. In this study, a field test was adopted to conduct site measurement analysis on the vibration response of the joint construction project consisting of a subway tunnel and a building with typical frame structures. Numerical simulation methods were also adopted to, respectively, assume the use of ordinary tracks and steel-spring floating slab tracks for the subway for the situation where the Cologne-egg high-elastic fasteners were used on the track for damping purposes. Comparisons were performed to analyze the difference in the system vibration response between three different types of track. The results showed that the high-elastic fastener track and floating slab track both have a certain degree of damping effect compared with an ordinary track. Specifically speaking, the former has a damping advantage for frequency bands below 20 Hz, while the latter has the advantage for frequency bands above 20 Hz under the impact of the structural vibration characteristics for this joint construction. For this jointly construction structure, affected by the natural vibration characteristics of the structure, the natural frequency of the floating slab track is within 4 ∼ 10 Hz, and the similar vibration reduction effect can be achieved. This indicates that the structural vibration characteristic of the jointly constructed structure is an important factor determining the appropriate natural frequency of the floating slab track.","PeriodicalId":504307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140994398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interaction between the dynamics of the machine tool and the boring process led to progressive vibration. The creation of appropriate mechanisms in reducing tool vibration will help manufacturing industries to become more productive. In this research, in order to control vibration in the overhanging boring bar, a passive vibration control method was employed. Constrained layer dampers consist of boring bar, substrate, and elastic materials and it is used to minimize tool vibration produced during boring operation. The investigation utilized computational analysis through the ANSYS Workbench platform, employing key parameters such as the overhanging length of the tool holder (100, 150, and 200 mm), substrate material (aluminum, brass, and copper), and elastic material (Nitrile rubber, Natural rubber, and polyurethane). A comprehensive series of 27-run boring experiments were conducted to assess the impact of the constrained layer damper on tool vibration and cutting properties. The results of the study revealed remarkable improvements in various performance metrics. The constrained layer damper demonstrated an impressive 98% reduction in tool vibration, signifying its efficacy in dampening vibrational forces during the boring operation. Furthermore, a substantial 83% decrease in surface roughness was observed, indicating enhanced machining precision and surface finish.

Based on the modal superposition and Galerkin method, this paper realizes the theoretical model of sound insulation of the clamped, double-panel structure. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is used to realize the sound insulation of the clamped double-panel structure. Through optimization, the fitting function and law of structural surface density and the optimized normal weighted sound insulation Pareto fronts were obtained. The results show that among the optimization, for the Pareto front cases, their double-panel thickness ratio h1/ h2 is relatively far away from 1, and the corresponding cavity thickness H is relatively large. The influence of boundary conditions and size effects of lightweight sound insulation optimization are also discussed. The research on the influence of boundary and size indicates that the difference in the optimal weighted sound insulation Pareto fronts corresponding to the same surface density is mostly within the 1 dB range. Both the boundary and thickness of the panel will affect the frequency STL, while the boundary conditions or structure size changed, even the total thickness of panels needs to be the same, and the structure can also have similar weighted sound transmission loss ( Rw) when the thickness ratio of the double-panel structure is chosen properly.

The results indicate that wheel re-profiling is effective in reducing track vibration, within the frequency range of 31.5–1250 Hz, the vibration acceleration levels of the track after wheel re-profiling were notably lower than those prior to re-profiling and the vibration acceleration levels of the rail, sleeper, and track-bed decrease by 4.7 dB, 6.6 dB, and 6.7 dB, respectively.
