Combining the experiments carried out in the experimental workbench for beam and plate with interior inlaid freely moving mass
a self-adaptive impact vibration suppression system
i.e. a Euler beam with an interior inlaid freely moving steel ball under the principal resonant harmonic excitation
is investigated. In the theoretical analysis
a linear spring-damping model is employed to simulate the impact mechanism between steel ball and beam interior walls
where the elastic recovery and energy dissipation in impacts are respectively characterized by the spring and damping in the model
and relative parameters are also determined according to the Hertz contact theory. Then for the impact system
the linear piecewise dynamic equations and the beginning and ending conditions for impacts are all established. Numerical results demonstrate the inherent mechanism and effectiveness of adaptive impact damping for the steel ball in suppressing the beam vibration
and the vibration is reduced by 7.5% and 6.1% respectively under the first and second principal resonant harmonic excitations. Moreover
the beam vibration does not get periodic but quasi-periodic. Assuming that the impacts take place on a virtual location instead of the actual location observed in experiments
the self-adaptive impact damping characteristic is proved for the steel ball.
