this study is investigated the optimum parameters for a tuned mass damper (tmd) under the seismic excitation. shuffled complex evolution (sce) is a meta-heuristic optimization method which is used to find the optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio for a tmd. the efficiency of the tmd is evaluated by decreasing the structural displacement dynamic magnification factor (ddmf) and acceleration ...

Robustness is of vital importance for any feedback controlled system. An important example of such a feedback controlled system is an active vibration isolation system (AVIS), which is used to isolate highly accurate systems from external disturbances in multiple degrees-of-freedom. The underlying idea of vibration isolation is based on the concept of skyhook damping, see [1]. Model-based robus...

In this paper, we propose a vibration damping optimization algorithm to solve a fuzzy mathematical model for the single-item capacitated lot-sizing problem. At first, a fuzzy mathematical model for the single-item capacitated lot-sizing problem is presented. The possibility approach is chosen to convert the fuzzy mathematical model to crisp mathematical model. The obtained crisp model is in the...

In this work, a new strategy to design passive energy dissipation systems for vibration control of large structures is presented. The method is based on the equivalence between passive damping systems and fully decentralized static velocity-feedback controllers. This equivalence allows to take advantage of recent developments in static output-feedback control design to formulate the passive-dam...

The damping ratio of chassis suspension is a key parameter for damping matching of in-wheel motor vehicles (IWMVs). Because the motor is attached to the driving wheel, the initial design method of the damping ratio for traditional cars is not entirely suitable for IWMVs. This paper proposes an innovative initial design method of the damping ratio for IWMVs. Firstly, a traveling vibration model ...

This paper present a methodology to achieve three dimensional shape optimization of damping liners attached to vibrating panels. It is the initial stage of the development of a flexible CAE design tool to optimize such liners in automotive panels. Noise, vibration and harshness are critical aspects in modern vehicle refinement and passenger perception of quality. Vibration from engine, powertra...

In this paper we consider an inverse problem for a damped vibration system from the noisy measured eigendata, where the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices are all symmetric positive definite matrices with the mass matrix being diagonal and the damping and stiffness matrices tridiagonal. To take into consideration the noise in the data, the problem is formulated as a convex optimization probl...

iii Abstract The goal of this research is to provide a framework for vibro-acoustical analysis and design of a multiple-layer constrained damping structure. The existing research on damping and viscoelastic damping mechanism is limited to the following four mainstream approaches: modeling techniques of damping treatments/materials; control through the electrical-mechanical effect using the piez...

Excessive vibration of turbomachinery blades causes high cycle fatigue (HCF) problems requiring damping treatments to mitigate vibration levels. Based on the technical challenges and requirements learned from previous turbomachinery blade research, a feasibility study of resonant damping control using shunted piezoelectric patches with passive and active control techniques has been conducted on...

in this paper, matlab code for a recently developed meta-heuristic methodology, the vibrating particles system (vps) algorithm, is presented. the vps is a population-based algorithm which simulates a free vibration of single degree of freedom systems with viscous damping. the particles gradually approach to their equilibrium positions that are achieved from current population and historically b...
