This work studies the advantageous features of the fluid inerter device for optimised structural control of buildings. Experimental data are first presented to characterise the fluid inerter dynamics, and validate the simplified analytical formulations. Building on these observations, the device is modelled as an inerter in parallel with a nonlinear dashpot representing a power law damping term. The latter dissipative effects are mainly induced by the pressure drops occurring in helical channels due to the fluid viscosity and density. Then, novel passive vibration control schemes are implemented for the earthquake protection of base-isolated buildings by combining the fluid inerter with a tuned mass damper system. To account for the uncertain nature of the earthquake input, the base acceleration is modelled as a Kanai–Tajimi filtered stationary random process. The optimal fluid inerter parameters, namely inertance and damping, are identified numerically by minimising stochastic performance indices relevant to displacement, acceleration, and energy-based measures of the structural response. The nonlinear damping behaviour of the fluid inerter is fully incorporated in the optimal design procedure via the statistical linearisation technique. Nonlinear response history analysis under an ensemble of 44 natural earthquake ground motions is carried out to assess the seismic performance of the system. Since inertance and damping are coupled characteristics in a real fluid inerter, design guidelines are finally outlined to determine the actual geometrical and mechanical properties of the device to achieve targeted parameters resulting from the optimisation procedure.  相似文献

Recently, a lot of attention has been given to a mechanical device known as the inerter. It is a mechanical component that can be compared to a capacitor with two ungrounded terminals in the mechanical-electrical systems analogy. In this paper, it is shown that although the concept of an inerter as a separate mechanical element is relatively new, there are several well-established vibration isolation systems that exhibit similar behavior to a simple lumped parameter system containing an inerter. Through a review of the literature, a link is established between the old and new ideas. Furthermore, a comparison between the systems is carried out using the quantities of mechanical impedance and displacement transmissibility. The advantages and disadvantages of using the inerter in vibration isolation are discussed, and a simple way of improving the high-frequency performance without severely degrading the low-frequency performance is described.  相似文献

In this paper, a novel semi-active variable admittance (VA) concept is proposed, and a seat suspension prototype with a magnetorheological fluid damper based rotary VA device is designed, manufactured, and experimentally validated. The conventional inerter with a single flywheel has a constant inertance, which can effectively improve the suspension performance by being integrated into a mechanical network with springs and dampers. The proposed rotary VA device comprises a gear reducer, two flywheels and a variable damping (VD) device which is used to connect the two flywheels. With carefully designing, the rotary VA device is compacted and is similar with a VD device in size. The rotary VA device is installed in the centre of a seat suspension's scissors structure to form a VA seat suspension. According to the test results, the equivalent inertance of the seat suspension can vary from 11.3 Kg–76.6 Kg with a 3 Hz frequency and 5 mm amplitude sinusoidal movement by changing the current from 0 A–1 A. By analysing the system characteristics, a hybrid controller with two acceleration feedbacks is proposed. Thereafter, the seat suspension and controller are validated in experiments by comparing the performance with a conventional passive seat suspension. The random vibration test shows the excellent performance of the proposed seat suspension; the frequency weighted root mean square acceleration of the seat is reduced by 43.6%, which indicates a great improvement of the ride comfort. The VA device shows great prospect in the suspension application.  相似文献

The paper presents an explicit two-step calibration procedure for tuned inerter based vibration absorbers on flexible structures. It makes use of a local approximate representation of the structural response to the device force, in which the contribution of the non-resonant modes is represented approximately around the resonance frequency by a background flexibility and a background inertia term. The calibration procedure then consists of two steps. The first step calibrates an equivalent vibration absorber including the background terms, and the second step subsequently evaluates the parameters of the actual device by extracting the background flexibility and inertia parameters. The first step represents the classic idealized single degree of freedom representation of the structure, whereas the second step leads to an increase of stiffness, inertia and damping parameters of the actual device due to background flexibility of the structure. The procedure is illustrated in detail for three inerter based vibration absorbers: parallel coupling of damper and stiffness, parallel coupling of damper and inerter, and finally a device with two dampers in parallel with stiffness and inerter elements, respectively. Explicit expressions for the calibration are obtained for each device, and it is demonstrated that the procedure leads to a balanced plateau of amplification around the resonance frequency of the magnitude assumed as the basis for the device parameter calibration.  相似文献

The inerter has garnered much attention in the past two decades owing to its unique mechanical characteristics. As a substitution of the capacitance element based on the electrical-mechanical analogy, the inerter has outstanding advantages. Extensive investigations have been conducted for the development of inerter-based vibration isolation system. This paper provides a retrospective perspective and an update on the inerter's progress for vibration isolation in different fields. The advantages of inerter compared with mass element are analyzed and revealed. Some existing reviews and highly-cited papers are summarized to outline the inerter development progress. Thereafter, the inerter is reviewed in detail from the perspective of network analogy and synthesis, mechanical domain, and power flow transmission. The devices improvement and control approach are summarized. Finally, the significance of inerter research, the challenge in current studies, and promising inerter application fields are presented and discussed. This paper is closed by conclusions, which highlight the necessity of inerter research, current challenges, and future research directions.  相似文献

This paper describes the design and implementation of digital controllers for a flywheel energy storage device that incorporates a radial flux hybrid permanent magnetic bearing. Although the uncontrolled device is asymptotically stable, active control is required to: (i) ensure that a finite radial air gap is maintained at all times, and (ii) attenuate the oscillations of the flywheel which reduce the efficiency of the motor generator. The paper presents the design of gain scheduled discrete time linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controllers for this rotordynamic system. Real time experiments are conducted to investigate the performance of the controllers. The result indicates that the LQR controller with approximate system velocities is easier to implement than the LQG controller, and also provides superior performance.  相似文献

Vibration suppression capabilities of linear passive vibration absorbers, such as traditional tuned mass damper (TMD), and recently proposed inerter-based vibration absorbers, have been studied for multiple mechanical systems. In particular, significant performance advantages have been obtained with a specific device making use of both inerter and mass elements, namely the tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI). However, there are still countless mass-included inerter-based configurations that have not been studied, which can potentially provide more preferred dynamic properties. In this paper, an immittance-function-layout (IFL) is introduced, which can cover a large range of topological connection possibilities with both mass and inerter elements. With the recently proposed structural immittance format, a systematic approach is established to identify the most beneficial IFL type mass-included inerter-based configurations with pre-determined number of each element type. Vibration suppression performance with single-IFL type device and two parallel-connected IFLs (i.e. dual-IFL) type devices are investigated in this paper. Three optimal configurations are identified for mitigating the maximum inter-storey drift of an example 3-storey building model subjected to base excitation. With this 3-storey building model, results show that, for the optimum single-IFL configuration, the performance improvement is 7.3% compared with the optimum TMDI, and with identified beneficial dual-IFL configurations, up to 34.9% performance advantages are obtained. Furthermore, consistent performance gains are shown under real-life earthquake inputs and with a 10-storey building model using identified absorber configurations.  相似文献

This paper investigates the benefits of the inerter in improving vibration suppression of milling machine tools. The traditional method for repressing the cutting vibration of milling machines includes applying passive mechanical networks that consist of masses, dampers, and springs. However, because the mass element is not a genuine two-terminal network element, the achievable performance of the passive mechanical networks might be restricted. The inerter was invented to substitute the mass element and has been successfully applied to many mechanical systems, such as vehicles and buildings. This paper extends the application of the inerter to a milling machine and discusses the resulting vibration suppression improvements. We first built a model of the milling machine via experiments, followed by applying three basic suspension layouts to the model and illustrating how the inerter can help reduce system vibration. Lastly, we conducted experiments to verify the effectiveness of the inerter in improving the manufacturing performance of the milling machine.  相似文献

In this paper we investigate an inerter equipped with a prototype continuously variable transmission (CVT) designed for the novel tuned mass damper. Inerter enables stepless changes of inertance via varying transmission ratio of the CVT. The main difference from classical inerter is addition of CVT, hence we present its design and properties in details. Motion of the proposed CVT is oscillatory and we test it for the actual working conditions. We derive the mathematical model of the system that include dissipation via dry friction. We analyse the actual transmission ratio, internal motion resistances and identify the inertia of CVT components using energy conservation method and validate further. Finally, we apply actual working conditions and compare the experimental and numerical exciting torques of the CVT. We obtain good agreement between them, hence the proposed model is robust and gives reliable results.  相似文献

Two types of passive devices, namely, negative stiffness damper (NSD) and inerter damper (ID), have been receiving growing interest in vibration isolation and suppression, because both can produce negative-slope force-displacement relationships that are similar to those associated with active control forces. Despite such a similarity, these two passive dampers possess obvious differences in their mechanical behaviors. This study aims to illustrate the similarity and difference between these two dampers in vibration isolation applications with respect to the H2 and H∞ performance. The comparative study indicates that both dampers can reduce the H∞ norm effectively; the negative stiffness devices can reduce the H2 norm as well, whereas the H2 norm cannot converge under the influence of inerter. This finding explains why a tuned-inerter damper, i.e., an inerter connected in series with a spring with proper frequency tuning, is more commonly adopted in vibration isolation. The pros and cons of both devices were further discussed.  相似文献

Blood plasma contains biomarkers and substances that indicate the physiological state of an organism, and it can be used to diagnose various diseases or body condition. To improve the accuracy of diagnostic test, it is required to obtain the high purity of blood plasma. This paper presents a low-cost, disposable microfluidics device for blood plasma extraction using magnetophoretic behaviors of blood cells. This device uses alternating magnetophoretic capture modes to trap and separate paramagnetic and diamagnetic cells away from blood plasma. The device system is composed of two parts, a disposable microfluidics chip and a non-disposable (reusable) magnetic field source. Such modularized device helps the structure of the disposable part dramatically simplified, which is beneficial for low-cost mass production. A series of numerical simulation and parametric study have been performed to describe the mechanism of blood cell separation in the microchannel, and the results are discussed. Furthermore, experimental feasibility test has been carried out in order to demonstrate the blood plasma extraction process of the proposed device. In this experiment, pure blood plasma has been successfully extracted with yield of 21.933% from 75 μl 1:10 dilution of deoxygenated blood.  相似文献

Organization of airway epithelium determines ciliary beat direction and coordination for proper mucociliary clearance. Fluidic shear stresses have the potential to influence ciliary organization. Here, an in vitro fluidic flow system was developed for inducing long-term airflow shear stresses on airway epithelium with a view to influencing epithelial organization. Our system consists of a fluidic device for cell culture, integrated into a humidified airflow circuit. The fluidic device has a modular design and is made from a combination of polystyrene and adhesive components incorporated into a 6-well filter membrane insert. We demonstrate the system operates within physiologically relevant shear and pressure ranges and estimate the shear stress exerted on the epithelial cell layer as a result of air flow using a computational model. For both the bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS2B and primary human tracheal airway epithelial cells, we demonstrate that cells remain viable within the device when exposed to airflow for 24 h and that normal differentiation and cilia formation occurs. Furthermore, we demonstrate the utility of our device for exploring the impact of exposing cells to airflow: our tool enables quantification of cytoskeletal organization, and is compatible with in situ bead assays to assess the orientation of cilia beating.  相似文献

This study introduces a novel particle inerter system (PIS) designed for vibration mitigation of structures. The new system comprises an inerter subsystem, a spring, and a tuned particle element, where the spring is used for tuning the particle element and the inerter subsystem is set for energy absorption and dissipation. The structural performance and the vibration mitigation effect of the PIS are assessed in terms of displacement and acceleration responses. An optimal design method is developed for a PIS under a performance-oriented design framework. Following the criterion of lightweight control, the added mass of the PIS is minimized under the constraints of target displacement and acceleration responses. A parametric analysis is performed and the robustness of the PIS for seismic response mitigation is verified. Design cases are carried out for the illustration of the proposed design method. The results show that the structural displacement and acceleration responses can be reduced significantly with the help of a PIS. Compared with the particle tuned mass damper with the same parameters, both the energy absorption and dissipation effects of the PIS are increased and the relative displacement response of the container in the PIS is reduced by the inerter subsystem. Under the same performance target, the required physical mass of the container and particles in the PIS is minimized and is significantly smaller than that of the conventional particle tuned mass damper.  相似文献

Biomolecular separation is crucial for downstream analysis. Separation technique mainly relies on centrifugal sedimentation. However, minuscule sample volume separation and extraction is difficult with conventional centrifuge. Furthermore, conventional centrifuge requires density gradient centrifugation which is laborious and time-consuming. To overcome this challenge, we present a novel size-selective bioparticles separation microfluidic chip on a swinging bucket minifuge. Size separation is achieved using passive pressure driven centrifugal fluid flows coupled with centrifugal force acting on the particles within the microfluidic chip. By adopting centrifugal microfluidics on a swinging bucket rotor, we achieved over 95% efficiency in separating mixed 20 μm and 2 μm colloidal dispersions from its liquid medium. Furthermore, by manipulating the hydrodynamic resistance, we performed size separation of mixed microbeads, achieving size efficiency of up to 90%. To further validate our device utility, we loaded spiked whole blood with MCF-7 cells into our microfluidic device and subjected it to centrifugal force for a mere duration of 10 s, thereby achieving a separation efficiency of over 75%. Overall, our centrifugal microfluidic device enables extremely rapid and label-free enrichment of different sized cells and particles with high efficiency.  相似文献

In this paper the concept of reversibility is considered, and it is found that the question of reversibility of a process depends upon the number of independent variables of a system. For a single homogeneous closed phase subject only to mechanical and thermal changes, just two independent variables have been considered in classic thermodynamics. This practice requires that some states be characterized as metastable. Justification is offered for a change in this accepted view. Instead of classifying systems in phases, it is proposed to consider systems on the basis of number of types of transformation.A single gaseous phase subject to dissociation is found to be analogous to a liquid vapor system; each system has three independent variables, such as p, v, T, and equations of state will be of the form ? = F(p, v, T) = G(p, T, x) and v = (Θ(p, T, x) where e is the internal energy and x the degree of transformation. These equations include all metastable states.  相似文献

A porous silicon (PSi) based microarray has been integrated with a microfluidic system, as a proof of concept device for the optical monitoring of selective label-free DNA-DNA interaction. A 4 × 4 square matrix of PSi one dimensional photonic crystals, each one of 200 μm diameter and spaced by 600 μm, has been sealed by a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels circuit. The PSi optical microarray elements have been functionalized by DNA single strands after sealing: the microfluidic circuit allows to reduce significantly the biologicals and chemicals consumption, and also the incubation time with respect to a not integrated device. Theoretical calculations, based on finite element method, taking into account molecular interactions, are in good agreement with the experimental results, and the developed numerical model can be used for device optimization. The functionalization process and the interaction between DNA probe and target has been monitored by spectroscopic reflectometry for each PSi element in the microchannels.  相似文献

Understanding biomolecular gradients and their role in biological processes is essential for fully comprehending the underlying mechanisms of cells in living tissue. Conventional in vitro gradient-generating methods are unpredictable and difficult to characterize, owing to temporal and spatial fluctuations. The field of microfluidics enables complex user-defined gradients to be generated based on a detailed understanding of fluidic behavior at the μm-scale. By using microfluidic gradients created by flow, it is possible to develop rapid and dynamic stepwise concentration gradients. However, cells exposed to stepwise gradients can be perturbed by signals from neighboring cells exposed to another concentration. Hence, there is a need for a device that generates a stepwise gradient at discrete and isolated locations. Here, we present a microfluidic device for generating a stepwise concentration gradient, which utilizes a microwell slide''s pre-defined compartmentalized structure to physically separate different reagent concentrations. The gradient was generated due to flow resistance in the microchannel configuration of the device, which was designed using hydraulic analogy and theoretically verified by computational fluidic dynamics simulations. The device had two reagent channels and two dilutant channels, leading to eight chambers, each containing 4 microwells. A dose-dependency assay was performed using bovine aortic endothelial cells treated with saponin. High reproducibility between experiments was confirmed by evaluating the number of living cells in a live-dead assay. Our device generates a fully mixed fluid profile using a simple microchannel configuration and could be used in various gradient studies, e.g., screening for cytostatics or antibiotics.  相似文献

Cytokines are small proteins secreted by leukocytes in blood in response to infections, thus offering valuable diagnostic information. Given that the same cytokines may be produced by different leukocyte subsets in blood, it is beneficial to connect production of cytokines to specific cell types. In this paper, we describe integration of antibody (Ab) microarrays into a microfluidic device to enable enhanced cytokine detection. The Ab arrays contain spots specific to cell-surface antigens as well as anti-cytokine detection spots. Infusion of blood into a microfluidic device results in the capture of specific leukocytes (CD4 T-cells) and is followed by detection of secreted cytokines on the neighboring Ab spots using sandwich immunoassay. The enhancement of cytokine signal comes from leveraging the concept of reconfigurable microfluidics. A three layer polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic device is fabricated so as to contain six microchambers (1 mm × 1 mm × 30 μm) in the ceiling of the device. Once the T-cell capture is complete, the device is reconfigured by withdrawing liquid from the channel, causing the chambers to collapse onto Ab arrays and enclose cell/anti-cytokine spots within a 30 nl volume. In a set of proof-of-concept experiments, we demonstrate that ∼90% pure CD4 T-cells can be captured inside the device and that signals for three important T-cell secreted cytokines, tissue necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma, and interleukin-2, may be enhanced by 2 to 3 folds through the use of reconfigurable microfluidics.  相似文献
