Introduction to Vibration Control
Vibration signifies to and fro motion about some equilibrium
configuration. This is undesirable in most engineering systems.
The ill effects of vibration includes:
• Fatigue failure
• Structures like aircraft fuselage
• Machine components like crankshaft
• Severe damages due to resonance collapsing of bridges
• Damages in transmission lines
• Damages to offshore structures
• Malfunction of sensitive instruments/system payloads from vibration of launching rockets.
• High precision machining micro-machines and micro-assembly
• Loss of accuracy of work piece due to vibration of machine tools.
Loss of accuracy of work piece due to vibration of machine
tools.
This phenomenon is generally referred as “chatter
vibration.” There are two types of chatter: Force
chatter and Self excited chatter. Force chatter
originates in the driving system and gets transmitted
to the cutting zone while self excited chatter is
generated due to uneven surface of the work piece,
fractures of metal swarf, etc.
Fatigue Failure in a shaft Camshaft assembly of a 6.5 MW
due to torsional oscillation diesel engine
Broken camshaft such torsional oscillation are caused either due to the periodic accelerations
of the positions, rods, and cranks or due to the periodic variation in gas pressure inside the
engine cylinder.
Vibration isolation of spacecraft
from the launching vehicle
The challenge is to isolate the payload such that at
three different sinusoidal excitations of frequencies
5Hz, 25Hz, and 100Hz, the vibration amplitude is to be
reduced by 20 dB. The isolation is achieved by the
hexapod assembly by using stiff piezoelectric actuators
that extend and contract in response to the vibration
originating at the base. This hexapod assembly is
commonly known as Active Stewart Platform.
Quantitative Description of Vibration is define as the
response of an elastic system subjected to dynamic
disturbance. Complete description of a vibration
problem involves three components: Vibrating
System, Excitation and Response.
