Simulation anlysis of turbocharger vibrations
Valo, Lukáš ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Březina, Lukáš (advisor)
The master thesis deals with computational modeling of a turbocharger vibrations and and assessment of influnce of passive dynamic vibration absorber on vibrations of actuator bracket. The use of dynamic vibration absorber was summarized in the research study. The analysis were performed using finite element method in ANSYS. Several computational models of turbocharger were created with different ways of modeling bolted joints between turbocharger parts. Modal analysis of each model was performed and the results were compared. For the selected model, the response to the kinematic excitation from the internal combustion engine for two load conditions was calculated using harmonic analysis. A simple model of vibration dynamic absorber was applied to the turbocharger model with reduced degrees of freedom and its influnce on vibrations of actuator bracket was investigated. Significant decrease of the maximum acceleration amplitude was achieved in a given frequency range when absorber parameters were optimized.
Analysis of dynamical behaviour of slender structures and design of device to reduce vibration
Hanzlík, Tomáš ; Krejsa,, Martin (referee) ; prof. Ing. Alois Materna, CSc., MBA (referee) ; Salajka, Vlastislav (advisor)
Thesis deals with the modeling of pedestrian excitation of structures and obtaining the corresponding dynamic response of the structure. The trend of modern slender structures places more emphasis on the accuracy of modeling pedestrian dynamic excitation, which is difficult because of the intelligent behavior of pedestrians and the biological nature of the modeled pedestrian. First part of the thesis deals with traditional models of pedestrian excitation, based on application of pedestrian ground force to the model of construction. Models are explored on a model of slender footbridge for many different excitation variants in order to explore the specifics of the force excitation application and the structure response calculation. In second part of the thesis biomechanical pedestrian models are developed, including inertial forces, to calculate the pedestrian interaction with the structure. Parametric studies carried out on simplified structural models research the influence of design parameters of biomechanical models on dynamic response. The aim is to obtain a more accurate model of the pedestrian-construction system for refinement of the design of structures. The design of a tuned mass dampers for the reduction of pedestrian induced vibrations is also explored. Tuned mass dampers are devoted to parametric studies that deal with the influence of design parameters of the damper on the efficiency and design requirements of the device. The aim is to explore the design parameters and their influence on the efficient and economical design of the device. In the thesis were developed two biomechanical models, a simple biomechanical model with one vertical degree of freedom and a bipedal model of a human walking. Models have proven a certain degree of interaction when exciting light footbridges by one pedestrian. Bipedal model then also brought a partial insight into the mechanics of walking and the causes of pedestrian contact forces.

Then tuned mass damper is designed using matlab, simulik for given entity. Values, calculated using this method are compared with finite element method. After that the entity is realized and measured using modal hammer and accelerometer. Calculated values are compared with values measured values.
Forced movement of a ball in spherical cavity under kinematic excitation
Náprstek, Jiří ; Fischer, Cyril
In the paper the response of a heavy ball rolling inside a semi-spherical cavity under horizontal kinematic excitation is investigated. The system with six degrees of freedom with three non-holonomic constraints is considered. The contact between the ball and the cavity surface is supposed to be perfect without any sliding. The mathematical model using the Appel-Gibbs function of acceleration energy is developed and discussed. The most important post-critical regimes are outlined and qualitatively evaluated on the frequency axis. Numerical experiments have been performed when excitation frequency is slowly swept up and down. Results obtained by means of semi-analytical investigation and numerical simulation are evaluated and physically interpreted. Some applications in civil engineering as a tuned mass damper used on slender structures is outlined. Strengths and weaknesses of solution method are evaluated.
Non-holonomic planar and spatial model of a ball-type tuned mass damping device
Náprstek, Jiří ; Fischer, Cyril
The area of tuned mass dampers is a wide field of inspiration for theoretical studies in non-linear dynamics and dynamic stability. The studies attempt to estimate behaviour of diverse damping devices and their reliability. The current paper deals with the response of a heavy ball rolling inside a spherical cavity under horizontal kinematic excitation. The non-linear system consists of six degrees of freedom with three non-holonomic constraints. The contact between the ball and the cavity surface is supposed to be perfect without any sliding. The mathematical model using the Appell-Gibbs function of acceleration energy is developed and discussed. Comparison with previous planar (SDOF) model which is based on the Lagrangian procedure is given. The system has an auto-parametric character and therefore semi-trivial solutions and their dynamic stability can be analysed. The most important post-critical regimes are outlined and qualitatively evaluated in resonance domain. Numerical experiments were performed when excitation frequency is slowly swept up and down to identify different modes of response. Some applications in civil engineering as a tuned mass damper, which can be used on slender structures, are mentioned. The proposed device is compared with a conventional pendulum damper. Strengths and weaknesses of both absorbers types are discussed.

The diploma thesis deals with dynamic analysis of cable-stayed steel pedestrian footbridge. The dynamic response of pedestrian-induced vibration was studied. The response of structure exeeded standard acceptance limit. Due to the effect of installed Tuned Mass Damper was studied. Motion equations of single and two degree of freedom model were solved in program MATLAB and the results were compared with numeric model in ANSYS.
Modelling of damping devices in interaction with a structure
Kalina, Martin ; Lehký, David (referee) ; Frantík, Petr (advisor)
The aim of my master’s thesis was to create models of the damping device and observing their behavior in interaction with the structure. First was the construction separately modeled with Java application named FyDiK2D like a model with one degree of freedom. Model of construction takes form like a high, thin rod with full circular cross section. The lower part was restrained into the subsoil. The design was to verify the correct functionality of the model by comparing the analytical and numerical solutions. For capturing the precise behavior of the structure was converted to a multi-stage model. Then the pendulum damper was applied on this construction and found amplitude lies in highest point of multi-stage model. He was then replaced by tuned mass damper. By comparing these amplitudes from both dampers was found which kind of damper is efficient for multi-stage model.
Dynamic analysis of tall slender structure equipped with passive absorber and founded on various subsoils using simplified model
Hračov, Stanislav
The paper is focused on the investigation of dynamic behavior of tall slender structures taking into account the soil-structure interaction effect (SSI) and a presence of a tuned mass damper (absorber). The main aim is to qualitatively and quantitatively assess effects of both phenomena on changes in basic dynamic properties and response of the structure. The real tower equipped with absorber is chosen and analyzed. Analytical and numerical analysis of modal properties and of the response of a simple discrete model are performed. The structure and absorber are represented by one degree of freedom, the interaction interface by spring-dashpot system. This simplified model together with multi degree of freedom discrete model is analyzed parametrically for different dynamic properties of subsoil to cover all possible dynamic effects. The influence of neglecting of both phenomena is quantified and suggestions for assessments of such a type of structures are proposed.
Resonance behaviour of spherical pendulum – influence of damping
Fischer, Cyril ; Náprstek, Jiří ; Pospíšil, Stanislav
Experimental and numerical model of a uni-directionally driven pendulum-based tuned mass damper is presented in the paper. Stability of the motion in a vertical plane is analysed in the theoretically predicted resonance region. For the experimental part, special experimental frame is used, allowing independent change of linear viscous damping in the both perpendicular directions. Mathematical model respects the non-linear character of the pendulum and allows to introduce asymmetrical damping. Sensitivity of the resonance behaviour on the change of damping in both directions is studied and commented in the paper. The stability of the system is analysed experimentally and compared with numerical and theoretical results.
Applicability of existing indexes of non-proportionality of damping in case of theoretical model of slender structure with installed TMD
Hračov, Stanislav ; Pospíšil, Stanislav ; Náprstek, Jiří
The paper analyzes an applicability of to date published indexes of non-proportionality in the case of a linear viscously damped numerical model of slender structure equipped with tuned mass damper (TMD). The installation of TMD into the structure not only reduces the level of undesired vibration, but it can also cause due to damping element of TMD a significant increase of damping nonproportionality. The paper recommends the most suitable indexes for such a type of structure and points out to impropriety of the others. The point of view of is also focus on the validity of the existing criterions for neglecting of non-diagonal terms of a modal damping matrix. Only indexes and criterions based on the properties of the modal damping matrix were taking into account.
