INTRODUCTION Dynamic vibration absorbers are very fundamental devices when it comes to vibration management in systems, and their effects are interesting to even those outside of the field of engineering. The concept behind behind these passive passive components is simply to add a spring and mass that have a natural frequency tuned to that of the resonant excitation frequency of the system. Doing so transfers all of the resonance energy of the system to the DVA, leaving the original system undisturbed. However, the classic model of the vertical 2DOF springmass-damper system with a DVA is not widely available to demonstrate this phenomenon, so this project targeted creating this system with low-cost components as a demonstration for the Introduction to Engineering Vibrations class. Due to the the availability of electronic components from other coursework, it was decided that an electric motor with an unbalanced mass is the most effective way to generate a periodic applied force in the system so that the excitation frequency can be controlled. The biggest challenge in making a physical model of this 2DOF system is constraining the motion, for which there are a
PHYSICAL MODEL For this project, a physical model of the system was developed using available materials, as can be seen in Fig. 1. The frame is 12" x 21.5" and is made from a 1x2x8 furring strip [1]. A Jameco ReliaPro ReliaPro 161382 geared motor that that was salvaged from a previous project is used to provide the periodic input force [2]. The eccentric and DVA masses are machined machined pieces of brass stock which we were given for free fro m the RIT machine shop. For the platform a machined machined aluminum bar is used that has four #8-32 clearance holes drilled at each corner, in which eye bolts are mounted [3]. A tapped #8-32 hole on the bottom in the center of the platform provides the mounting location for the eye bolt from which the DVA is suspended. Motor clamping to the platform is accomplished using two 2" #8-32 cap screws from the machine shop in tapped holes. A Lexan motor mount mount was made and sanded to give a frosted texture after being recycled from a previous project. The DVA mass is constrained similarly using a Lexan piece with two 5/16" holes for the motion constraining rods , and is connected to the DVA mass using a #8-32 eye bolt. 1/4" steel tubes that are mounted through the furring strips at the top
and bottom of the frame are used as constraining rods for system motion. To reduce pitching of the platform, 2" pieces of 3/8" copper tubing were secured through holes in the platform using adhesive. These work as minimal friction sli des on the steel constraining bars which do not not bind. Four extension springs are attached to eye hooks in the top of the frame and are used used to hang the platform [4, 5]. A spring that is slightly less stiff is used to hang the DVA from the platform. The electrical drive for the motor is a custom-built voltage regulator circuit connected to the motor with very light speaker wire to reduce unwanted constraints on the system motion. This unregulated DC power supply is 12VDC and 600mA, which feeds a LM317 regulator with heat sink through the circuit given in the datasheet. The regulator supplies from 1.25 to 11.75V to the motor with up to 1.5A of current [6].

SYSTEM CHARACTERIZATION In order to characterize our model, data was taken on the system components using a triple beam balance from the Systems lab along with hanging masses. Every spring was measured individually using four mass increments so that trend lines could could be fit to calculate each stiffness value. Each component used for the platform and DVA assemblies was also weighed individually. The resulting system characterization values can be seen in Fig. 2.

Static deflections of the platform alone, the platform with the DVA, and the DVA were first recorded as reference points. The voltage was then first swept over the range of available (5) values (1.25-11.75V) in increments and the displacement amplitude of the platform alone were taken by holding a ruler These equations can be used to produce the displacement parallel to the base and stopping it at the t he point where the mass amplitude response with respect to excitation frequency for the stopped contacting, which was marked and measured on the vibratory system. frame.

For comparison purposes, the system can be modeled without the DVA, which is a simple 1DOF rotating unbalance system with no no damping. The resulting displacement amplitude response equation with respect to excitation frequency can be seen in Eq. 8, with r = ω / ω n.

RESULTS COMPARISON Data collected was plotted in MATLAB along with theoretical model displacement amplitude response with respect to excitation frequency using the MATLAB code found in Appendix A of this paper and the recorded Excel data found in Appendix B. The resulting platform displacement amplitude amplitude plot of the experimental vs. theoretical results for the 1DOF system overlaid on the results for the 2DOF system can be seen in Fig. 6. Similarly, the resulting DVA displacement amplitude plot of the experimental vs. theoretical results for the 2DOF system can be seen in Fig. 7.
DATA COLLECTION Using the access hatch on the regulator enclosure, the wires for the motor were disconnected from the power connector and a voltmeter was hooked up in parallel with the motor to record voltage values while testing. Rotational speeds in rev/s were calculated from time values taken by using a stopwatch to time 20 revolutions of the eccentric mass at lower rotational speeds. Videos were taken taken of the system at higher rotational speeds and the time taken for each revolution of the mass was established by stepping frame-by-frame through the video and and averaging three sample sample revolutions. These sample sample points were used to establish a voltage vs. rotational speed trend from which the excitation frequency was calculated for different voltage values. This can be seen in Fig. 5.

stiffnesses. The rig also exhibits some vibratory effects effects as it is not perfectly rigid, which is also a budgetary constraint and adds to error in the experimental values. However, we can see from the results comparison that the accumulation of errors due to the differences between the real world model and our assumptions in the theoretical model still produce favorable agreement. From this we can conclude that the physical model is an accurate representation of the system targeted, and that the theoretical model produces valid results.

Upper resonance occurs, the 2DOF experimental setup showed the Saddle River, N.J.: Pearson Education, Inc. predicted attenuation. At the first 2DOF natural frequency, the resonance amplitude is small due mainly to the variable speed of the motor. This variable speed is due to the increased torque required to raise the eccentric mass vs. lowering it, which is more notable at lower excitation frequencies (when there is less rotational inertia). From Fig. 7, we can see that the discussed effects on the platform are translated directly to the DVA, which shows the same trends. The experimental results compare favorably with the model for the DVA amplitudes, which adds even more merit to the validity of the model. Overall, the experimental results were influenced by the unavoidable existence of friction (or dissipative losses) in the system and the ability of the platform to pitch from side to side. This pitching is due to wide clearances between the copper sleeves and the steel rods to prevent binding, which was a budgetary constraint for the project. The rig also seems to pitch more on the left side of the platform than the right, which could be due to positioning of the motor or slight differences in spring
