An experimental and analytical investigation of the dynamic characteristics of a flexible sandwich plate filled with electrorheological fluid

This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of a sandwich plate embedded with an electrorheological (ER) fluid. A laser holographic interference experiment and modal testing were conducted to identify natural frequencies, modal damping and shapes of the composite structure, under different electric fields applied to the fluid domain. Moreover, the influence of the ER effect on the structural dynamic responses were recorded. It was found that both of the damping and natural frequencies of the sandwich plate increase monotonously with an increasing electric field; while, at the same time, the resonant peaks of the frequency response and the amplitudes of dynamic responses decrease. Furthermore, based on the special properties of the ER fluid, a discrete dynamic model of the sandwich plate containing ER fluids was developed and validated. The numerical simulation verifies the effect of the ER material on the structure, and the calculated dynamic parameters show the coincident changes with the experimental results.     

AFFECTION OF ER FLUID ON STIFFNESS OF VIBRATION SYSTEM

On the application of an electric field, the mechanical properties of ER(Electro-rheological) fluid are very complex. The damping force of ER fluid is linear without electric field and is nonlinear when an electric field is applied. By increasing the strength of the electric field, the behavior of ER fluid changes from linear viscous to nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic. External electric fluid changes natural behavior of system with ER fluid besides the mechanical properties of ER fluid. The affect of ER fluid on the stiffness of nonlinear vibration system with ER dampers is analyzed by iterative perturbation method. The results show that the stiffness of structure would be increased with growing of the strength of the electric field.     

Air damping influence on dynamic parameters of laminated composite plates

Damping performance of lightweight composite structures, like fibre reinforced plastics (FRPs) is more efficient than the conventional materials. This phenomena was found valuable in the aerospace and transport industries. For this reason accurate material properties of FRPs are required for precise prediction of dynamic response. However, the given properties are often burden with a significant uncertainty level due to environment influence which includes air damping, temperature changes, humidity, etc. The present study concerns with the air damping influence on the dynamic behaviour of laminated composites plates with moderate damping level. The effect on dynamic characteristics is evaluated experimentally using a vacuum chamber and a laser vibrometer. Resonant frequencies and modal loss factors changes are investigated in terms of material type, sample size and excitation amplitude. A semi-automatic and time efficient two-step testing procedure is developed for a precise measurement of loss factors of laminated composite plates.     

Complex moduli of electrorheological material under oscillatory shear

The electrorheological (ER) material embedded in the sandwich structure is subjected to oscillating shear as the structure is in vibration. According to this shear deformation mechanism, a testing apparatus with ER material filled in a fixture consisting of parallel plates is built in this study. With the controlled relative displacement between the parallel plates, the complex moduli, loss factor, and the dissipated energy of the ER material under oscillating shear are measured. The effects of the electric field strength, strain amplitude, and frequency on these dynamic properties are investigated. It is found that the constitutive model proposed in the previous work accurately describes the characteristics of the ER material under this loading condition.     

Modeling and experiments on eddy current damping caused by a permanent magnet in a conductive tube

Eddy currents are induced when a nonmagnetic, conductive material is moving as the result of being subjected to a magnetic field, or if it is placed in a time-varying magnetic field. These currents circulate in the conductive material and are dissipated, causing a repulsive force between the magnet and the conductor. With this concept, eddy current damping can be used as a form of viscous damping. The present study investigates analytically and experimentally the characteristics of eddy current damping when a permanent magnet is placed in a conductive tube. The theoretical model of eddy current damping as the result of a magnet in a copper tube is developed from electromagnetics and is verified from experiments. The experiments include a drop test whereby a magnet is dropped in a copper tube to measure the damping force in a steady-state, and a dynamic test is used to measure the same phenomenon in a dynamic-state. The drop test shows that the present model can accurately predict the force of steady-state damping. From the dynamic test, although predictability is not accurate at high excitation frequencies, the present model can be used to predict damping force at low excitation frequencies.     

STUDY ON ELECTRORHEOLOGICAL FLUID DAMPER FOR APPLICATION IN MACHINING CHATTER CONTROL

The electrorheological fluid(ERF)is a kind of intelligent material with bright prospects for industry applications, which has viscoelastic characteristic: under the applied electric field. The dynamic model of a milling system with an ERF damper is established, and the chatter suppression mechanism of the ER effect is discussed theoretically. Both the theoretical study and the experimental investigation show that the additional damping and additioaal stiffness produced by the ERF increase with the rise in the strength of electric field E, but their influence on the cutting stability is different. Only when both additional damping and additional stiffress cooperate, the milling chatter can be suppressed quickly and effectively. In additional, an ERF dumper used on the arbor of horizontal spindle milling machine is developed, and a series of milling shatter control experiments are performed. The experimental results show that the milling chatter can be suppressed effectively by using the ER damper.     

Dynamic response analysis of rotating composite-VEM thin-walled beams incorporating viscoelastic materials in the time domain

This paper addresses the analytical modeling and dynamic response of the advanced composite rotating blade modeled as thin-walled beams and incorporating viscoelastic material. The blade model incorporates non-classical features such as anisotropy, transverse shear, rotary inertia and includes the centrifugal and coriolis force fields. The dual technology including structural tailoring and passive damping technology is implemented in order to enhance the vibrational characteristics of the blade. Whereas structural tailoring methodology uses the directionality properties of advanced composite materials, the passive material technology exploits the damping capabilities of viscoelastic material (VEM) embedded into the host structure. The VEM layer damping treatment is modeled by using the Golla-Hughes-McTavish (GHM) method, which is employed to account for the frequency-dependent characteristics of the VEM. The case of VEM spread over the entire span of the structure is considered. The displayed numerical results provide a comprehensive picture of the synergistic implications of both techniques, namely, the tailoring and damping technology on the dynamic response of a rotating thin-walled beam exposed to external time-dependent excitations.

Aimed at an internal mesh planetary gear with small tooth number difference (PGSTD) reducer, this paper proposes dynamic characteristics analysis. First, static finite element (FE) analysis is performed to check the structural strength with the stress distribution in the gear teeth. Second, by means of the dynamic contact FE method, the internal dynamic excitations of teeth mesh are obtained, including mesh stiffness excitation, transmission error excitation and mesh impact excitation. According to the established model for dynamic FE modal analysis, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the planetary gear apparatus (PGA) are calculated, and its structural dynamic response and acceleration noise are researched with the comprehensive consideration of internal and external excitations. Finally, the noise and vibration testing on the PGA is carried out by utilizing the vibration test equipment. The results confirm that the predicted values are consistent with the experimental results.
