Abstract

In this article, a novel nonlinear displacement–velocity-dependent (NDVD) damper that takes into account the effect of momentum variation is introduced. The main goal is to improve the system’s response by designing the NDVD damper through strategic alterations to the structure of a linear damper. As a result, the damping coefficient of the proposed NDVD damper varies with respect to the displacement and velocity of the damper piston. To achieve a more accurate model in vibration analysis, the conservation of momentum is applied to the proposed NDVD damper. Besides, the displacement profile, velocity profile, damping force, and force transmitted to the base of a mass–spring system equipped with the NDVD damper are conducted. The performance of the proposed NDVD damper in practical application is also evaluated by analyzing the El Centro earthquake scenario. This study compares the results for four scenarios: free, forced, and resonance vibrations along with the El Centro earthquake problem. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis of the system concerning the orifice length is instigated. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed NDVD damper outperforms linear and nonlinear displacement-dependent (NDD) dampers in reducing system vibrations. Moreover, increase in the orifice length in the NDVD damper contributes to a decrease in the vibration response of the system. It is observed that the damping force of the proposed damper in free vibrations is significantly higher than the NDD/linear damper with ratio of 5.68/14.14. In addition, the proposed damper exhibits substantially increasing the damping forces in forced vibrations, with ratio of 8.17/37.67, as well as during resonance with ratio of 2.7/6.31, compared to the NDD/linear damper. Furthermore, in response to the El Centro earthquake excitation, the proposed damper experiences notably amplified damping forces, with ratio of 6.37/12.61 compared to the NDD/linear damper.
