Abstract
Particle damping is an emerging technology among passive devices for furnishing high damping of structural vibration, particularly in harsh environment, through the use of granular particles filled within an enclosure. In this work, we investigate experimentally the effect of acceleration amplitude, mass ratio, volume package, and type of material on the dynamic behavior of the particle damping to yield a thorough understanding of the attenuation mechanism played within such dampers. Experimental trials are realized within a rigid enclosure attached to a shaker and partially filled with particles. An analytical model based on the inelastic bouncing ball model (IBBM) is also developed in order to describe the nonlinear behavior of particle dampers. Our measurements reveal that the loss factor only relies on the total mass of the incorporated grains and on the driving magnitude. Further scaling of the loss factor, for all measurements, by the mass ratio led to a universal curve dependent only on the acceleration magnitude. A good agreement between the analytic model and the experimental results was verified.
