Abstract

A single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) semi-active vibration control system based on a magnetorheological (MR) damper with an inner bypass is investigated in this paper. The MR damper employing a pair of concentric tubes, between which the key structure, i.e., the inner bypass, is formed and MR fluids are energized, is designed to provide large dynamic range (i.e., ratio of field-on damping force to field-off damping force) and damping force range. The damping force performance of the MR damper is modeled using phenomenological model and verified by the experimental tests. In order to assess its feasibility and capability in vibration control systems, the mathematical model of a SDOF semi-active vibration control system based on the MR damper and skyhook control strategy is established. Using an MTS 244 hydraulic vibration exciter system and a dSPACE DS1103 real-time simulation system, experimental study for the SDOF semi-active vibration control system is also conducted. Simulation results are compared to experimental measurements.

A fail-safe magnetorheological energy absorber for shock and vibration isolation

Journal Article Bai, Xian-Xu; Wereley, Norman - Journal of Applied Physics

Magnetorheological (MR) energy absorbers (EAs) are an effective adaptive EA technology with which to maximize shock and vibration isolation. However, to realize maximum performance of the semi-active control system, the off-state (i.e., field off) stroking load of the MREA must be minimized at all speeds, and the dynamic range of the MREA must be maximized at high speed. This study presents a fail-safe MREA (MREA-FS) concept that, can produce a greater dynamic range at all piston speeds. A bias damping force is generated in the MREA-FS using permanent magnetic fields, which enables fail-safe behavior in the case of power failure.more »« less

An Investigation of Passive and Semi-Active Tuned Mass Dampers for a Tension Leg Platform Floating Offshore Wind Turbine in ULS Conditions

Journal Article Park, Semyung; Lackner, Matthew; Cross-Whiter, John; ... - Wind Energy

Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) are subjected to complex external loadings caused by combined wind and wave sources. The application of structural damping control techniques to OWTs using Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) has shown to be effective in reducing the integrated system loads and accelerations. In this work, the impact of passive and semi-active (S-A) TMD’s applied to both fixed-bottom (monopile) and floating (tension leg platform) OWTs are evaluated under the Fatigue Limit State (FLS) and Ultimate Limit State (ULS). Different S-A control logics like ON/OFF state damping based on the ground hook (GH) control policy are implemented, and the frequencymore »« less

System and method for damping vibration in a drill string using a magnetorheological damper

Patent Wassell, Mark; Burgess, Daniel; Barbely, Jason

A system for damping vibration in a drill string can include a magnetorheological fluid valve assembly having a supply of a magnetorheological fluid, a first member, and a second member capable of moving in relation to first member in response to vibration of the drill bit. The first and second members define a first and a second chamber for holding the fluid. Fluid can flow between the first and second chambers in response to the movement of the second member in relation to the first member. The valve assembly can also include a coil for inducing a magnetic field thatmore »« less

System and method for damping vibration in a drill string using a magnetorheological damper

Patent Wassell, Mark; Burgess, Daniel; Barbely, Jason; ...

A system for damping vibration in a drill string can include a magnetorheological fluid valve assembly having a supply of a magnetorheological fluid. A remanent magnetic field is induced in the valve during operation that can be used to provide the magnetic field for operating the valve so as to eliminate the need to energize the coils except temporarily when changing the amount of damping required. The current to be supplied to the coil for inducing a desired magnetic field in the valve is determined based on the limiting hysteresis curve of the valve and the history of the magnetizationmore »« less

Modeling and simulation methods for MDOF structures and rotating machinery with impact dampers

Journal Article McElhaney, J; Palazzolo, A; Kascak, A - Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power

Previously published work on applied impact damping typically relates to SDOF models or simple MDOF models such as the classical cantilever beam. Structural models often require an extremely large number of DOF with mode shapes that are generally very complex. Dynamics simulation of these typically becomes both complicated and time consuming. The nonlinear behavior of impact dampers further complicates such simulation in that standard linear solutions are not possible. The primary objective in this research extends previous work by applying impact dampers to MDOF structures that are modeled with general three-dimensional beam finite elements. Modal-based models of the MDOF systemsmore »« less
