Application of dynamic vibration absorbers in floating raft system

To improve the isolation performance of the traditional floating raft system, dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is introduced into floating raft in this research. The mathematical models of floating raft system consisting of beams are implemented by assembling the mobility matrices of the subsystems. Then the power flow transmission characteristics of the coupled system with/without the DVAs are investigated to evaluate the vibration reduction performance of DVAs. Numerical simulations are performed to explore the influence of several parameters, such as the setting positions, damping and mass of the passive DVAs, on the vibration reduction effects of DVAs. Moreover the vibration reduction performance of the semi-active absorber adjusting its stiffness adaptively is analyzed for the case of time-varying frequency excitation. In addition, the vibration reduction effects of semi-active DVAs under multi-frequency excitation are investigated. The results show that DVAs can significantly improve the isolation performance of floating raft system.
