The paper presents a proposition of the theoretical-experimental method of determination of power losses in the transversely vibrating rubber V-belt of continuously variable transmission. The article comprises the results of experimental tests conducted on a special test stand with a complete scooter drivetrain powered by a small two-stroke internal combustion engine. Such a configuration allows ensuring real CVT working conditions. A high-speed camera was used for the contactless measurement of belt vibrations and time-lapse image analysis was performed in dedicated software. An axially moving Euler–Bernoulli beam was assumed as the mathematical model. Longitudinal vibrations and nonlinear effects were omitted. Additionally, it was assumed that the belt material behaves according to the Kelvin–Voigt rheological model. Analysis of the damped free vibrations of the cantilever beam, made of the belt segment, allowed to determine the equivalent bending damping coefficient. The CVT power losses, due to bending in the rubber transmission belt, were obtained for the fixed working conditions after numerical calculations. The proposed methodology is a new approach in this research area, which allows to obtain results impossible to achieve with other measurement methods.
The paper deals with the problem of optimizing the positions and parameters of dynamic vibration absorbers for a mechanical press subjected to polyharmonic inertial excitation. Under the assumption of small vibrations a linear dynamic model of a rigid body performing a planar motion, on viscoelastic supports, with an attached system of translational tuned mass dampers is constructed. The problem of vibroisolation of the machine is presented, considering selected harmonics of the force transmitted to the ground, the solutions with a single DVA are proposed.
In the paper the problem of suppression of the waves - traveling along the linear, axially moving string - by the active distributed force is presented. The control law is based upon the idea of wave cancellation. The distributed force density is assumed to be proportional to the string transverse velocity resulting from the original running wave, assumed in the form of packet wave with amplitude modulation. As an objective function of the optimization problem considered the energy dissipated by the damping force segment is taken. Simulation results included demonstrate the effectiveness of the control law assumed and superiority of the distributed damping force over the concentrated force.
