In the present study, vibratory behaviour of a robot arm with a single unit impact damper is investigated. To find the contact duration, oscillation of the impact mass and the main mass between and during the contacts is formulated. Using...

The behavior of a vibration system suppressed with an impact damper is investigated, where the impact damper is simplified as a combination of spring and viscous damping. The analytical answer for the contact duration is developed using iteration...

In this paper, the dynamic response of a vibratory system equipped with a single-unit impact damper is analyzed. The reliability behavior of this system is investigated when the stress and strength are distributed lognormally. The standard deviation...

Applications of impact damper to reduce machine tools vibration have been investigated analytically, numerically, and experimentally for many years. The reason for this interest lies in the fact that impacts occur very often in many modern technical...

In this work, ongoing studies to investigate the vibratory behavior of nonlinear impact dampers will be extended by considering the acoustic properties of these systems in initial design of them. For this reason, mathematical model of the sound...

In different applications, optimal values of an impact damper parameters (impact mass, elastic coefficient of barrier etc.) should be found in order to damp undesired vibrations efficiently. The main target of this work is modeling and investigating...
