Abstract

Within the Priority Programme Calm, Smooth and Smart, a new approach for deliberately introduced damping through variation of stiffness was presented. The proposed approach is a novel way of combining the concepts of damping and absorption inherently in a structure. By dynamically adapting the stiffness of a slender, beam-like structure through the use of shape adaption in the cross-section, energy is transferred from critical low-frequency modes into a specifically designed, higher frequency absorber mode, which can then be damped in an optimal way. Experimental studies were first conducted to examine the suitability of shape adaption for the proposed approach. Various investigations were carried out regarding application of the presented concept with different time laws for free and forced oscillations. In addition, thorough analytical and numerical studies were conducted to understand the internal energy transfers and provide the basis for decoupling of active and semi-active effects related to the reduction of vibrations. Another focus was on the synthesis of a structural layout that enables a defined stiffness change to be induced and an absorber mode (defined in shape and eigenfrequency) to be integrated into the structure.
