Abstract

As a typical nonlinear passive control device with nonlinear stiffness, nonlinear energy sinks (NES) have attracted the attention of various engineering fields for its light weight and strong frequency robustness. At present, the studies dealing with the dynamics of structural systems containing NES were almost limited to deterministic load cases in literature. There were only very few investigations available for the random excitation. In this paper, the parameter optimization of random vibration of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure coupled with NES excited by Gaussian white noise is investigated. First, the original system are equivalent to stochastic dynamic systems with exact stationary solutions by using the method of weighted residual .The theoretical solution and Monte Carlo solution agree within the allowable error range, which shows the effectiveness of the proposed numerical method. Subsequently, the approximate analytic expression of probability density function (PDF) of the stationary response of the original system is utilized to construct the objective function. A parameter optimization strategy of NES with the target of minimizing the mean-square (MS) of displacement and velocity response of main structure is proposed. The effects of parameters such as damping, nonlinear stiffness and mass ratio of nonlinear energy sink on damping performance are discussed. The results show that the increase of mass ratio and damping of NES can achieve strong damping performance. The influence law of nonlinear stiffness on the damping performance of NES is related to the value of mass ratio. It can provide a feasible reference for the design and application of NES.
