Abstract

Background

Nowadays, vibration control is one of the limitless and major operating parameters in science and technology. The most promising and adaptive dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) with an air spring–air damper assembly is designed with a facility to change the spring rate and damping in the system to control the vibration.

Method

To optimize and effectively controlling the resonant amplitude ratio efficiently, a Maxwell-type air damper mathematical model is formulated for an SDOF vibrating system subjected to sinusoidal base excitation for better performance of DVA. Insight into the physics of such systems was carried out by mathematical modeling, design, and development of an air spring–air damper system for the SDOF vibrating system.

Result

Experimental investigation of an air spring–air damper for the primary mass displacement amplitude to optimize and effectively control the vibration. It will provide a compact and right platform for DVA among the current potential market and provide the major attention of the control community as a platform for the development of low-frequency nonlinear devices.
