The vibration and impact of a humanoid bipedal robot during movements such as walking, running and jumping may cause potential damage to the robot's mechanical joints and electrical systems. In this paper, a composite bidirectional vibration isolator based on magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is designed for the cushioning and damping of a humanoid bipedal robot under foot contact forces. In addition, the vibration isolation performance of the vibration isolator was tested experimentally, and then, a vibration isolator dynamics model was developed. For the bipedal robot foot impact, based on the vibration isolator model, three vibration reduction control algorithms are simulated, and the results show that the vibration damping effect can reach 85%. Finally, the MRE vibration isolator hardware-in-the-loop-simulation experiment platform based on dSPACE has been built to verify the vibration reduction control effect of the fuzzy PID algorithm. The result shows the vibration amplitude attenuates significantly, and this verifies the effectiveness of the fuzzy PID damping control algorithm.

A novel magnetorheological vibration isolator with two operating conditions, horizontal shear and vertical compression, was designed and manufactured. The rheological properties of the energy-dissipating material were directly related to the volume fraction of iron powder in the laminated working unit of the magnetorheological vibration isolator. Aggregation of the carbonyl iron powder (CIP) strongly influenced on the rheological properties of the magnetorheological vibration isolator.

Wedge wire bonding is a solid-state joining process that uses ultrasonic vibrations in combination with compression of the materials to establish an electrical connection. In the battery industry, this process is used to interconnect cylindrical battery cells due to its ease of implementation, high flexibility and ease of automation. Wire materials typically used in battery pack manufacturing are pure or alloyed aluminum and copper.

With the increasing speed of high-speed train, it is more and more difficult to reduce the vibration and noise inside the train. The floor of the train, as a carriage component in direct contact with passengers, is of great significance to improve its vibration and sound isolation performance to ensure the comfort of passengers. In this article, a floor vibration isolator with quasi-zero stiffness is designed based on the dimensional parameters of the traditional floor vibration isolator, and the vibration isolation performance is analyzed by the finite element model of the floor vibration isolator from the static and dynamics aspects, respectively.

Stiffness Hardening Effect of Wire Rope Isolators under Small Cyclic Loads for Vibration Isolation.

Materials (Basel)

October 2024

Key Laboratory of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, Institute of Engineering Mechanics, China Earthquake Administration, Harbin 150000, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Wire rope isolator (WRI) devices are essential for reducing vibrations in industrial equipment; their effectiveness largely depends on their stiffness, which varies under different load conditions.* -
  • Testing five types of WRI specimens under various amplitudes and speeds revealed that their hysteresis curves remain stable with repeated loads and are unaffected by loading speeds, while small cyclic loads lead to an increase in stiffness over time.* -
  • The study suggests that stiffness changes (around 10-30% increase after 50 cycles) and relationships between initial stiffness, preload, and cyclic load should be factored into assessments of WRI isolation effectiveness.*

Interdisciplinary Center for Quantum Information, State Key Laboratory of Modern Optical Instrumentation, ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological Innovation Center, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Nonreciprocity in acoustics is essential for various applications, but current methods using nonlinear media and moving fluids often face challenges like bulk size, high power needs, and integration difficulties.
  • The study introduces a framework that leverages asymmetric Peierls phases for designing nonreciprocal acoustic devices, controllable through active components, overcoming limitations of traditional approaches tied to Hermiticity.
  • Findings include an equivalence between transmission phases in isolators and the Peierls phase, and reveal that unique behaviors in gyrators and circulators are influenced by these phases, offering insights for compact, effective nonreciprocal devices.
