Abstract
As a simplified model of structures of many kinds, the Euler Bernoulli beam has proved useful for studying vibration suppression. In order to meet engineering design requirements, inertial nonlinear energy sinks (I-NESs) can be installed on the boundaries of an elastic beam to suppress its vibration. The geometric nonlinearity of the elastic beam is here considered. Based on Hamilton's principle, the dynamic governing equations of an elastic beam are established. The steady-state response of nonlinear vibration is obtained by the harmonic balance method and verified by numerical calculation. It is found that the geometric nonlinearity of the beam principally affects the first-order main resonance and reduces the response amplitude. An uncoupled system and the coupled I-NES system both show strong nonlinear hardening characteristics. I-NES achieves good vibration suppression. Finally, the optimal range of parameters for different damping is discussed. The results show that the vibration reduction effect of an optimized inertial nonlinear energy sink can reach 90%.

1 Introduction
The Euler Bernoulli beam is a simplified model for many structures in practical applications, such as aerospace, shipbuilding, and the automobile industry, where vibration can lead to structural damage. Studying the suppression of vibration in Euler Bernoulli beams is therefore important. Vibration control by a nonlinear energy sink (NES) has attracted more and more attention and much in-depth research in many countries. The frequency bandwidth of NES is significantly greater than that of the traditional linear vibration damper [1]. In NES, the energy transfer caused by vibration is unidirectional and irreversible [2, 3]. Viguié et al. calculated the nonlinear normal modes of the two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system coupled with an NES by numerical continuation method, and analyzed the mechanism of energy transfer and dissipation. In this paper, the underlying Hamiltonian system is first considered [4]. Then, the transient passive control of nonlinear primary system with an NES is first exhaustive studied, and a qualitative tuning methodology is developed [5]. Gourc et al. coupled NES into LO oscillator, analyzed the dynamic behavior of the system from experiment and theory under periodic forcing, studied the strongly modulated response (SMR) of the system, and determined the range of NES parameters and excitation amplitude when high amplitude detached resonant tongue does not occur. The experimental results are basically consistent with the theoretical prediction [6]. Without doubt, NES is promising, and it has seen much practical application, being applied in many engineering fields [7]. In space-flight applications, for example, NES plays an important role in vibration suppression [8, 9]. For applications in civil engineering, Wang developed a two-phase NES for vibration suppression of foundation structures, and its vibration control efficiency is high [10]. In other research, a combination of theory and experiment has shown the effectiveness of NES in vibration suppression [11]. Both theoretically and experimentally, Chen showed that the results are more accurate when NES weight is considered in the vibration process [12]. A linear system coupled with NES can achieve good vibration suppression, and its parameters have been considered [13]. Zhang found that NES, along with NiTiNOL-steel wire ropes, can effectively suppress vibration of a whole satellite system [14]. Lu reviewed and compared three types of nonlinear dissipative devices, NES, PID, and NVD [15]. Bitar proved the existence of a third vibration harmonic, and improved the approximation by an extended complexity method [16]. As research on nonlinear energy sinks intensifies, some new nonlinear energy sinks stand out, such as NES with nontraditional nonlinear restoring forces [17], a rotating NES [18], a pendulum type NES [19], a hysteretic NES [20], a tuned bistable NES [21], a hybrid vibro-impact NES [22], and a lever type NES [23]. However, mass remains the central inertial element for most NESs, and large mass is a problem of that often hinders the engineering applications. It is therefore of significance and value to conduct research on small-mass NESs for use in scientific research and in some engineering application.
An inerter is a particular kind of mechanical element that provides inertial parameters. It was first proposed by Smith of Cambridge University and named inerter [24]. It has two connecting terminals, which can be used as inertial components with mass. But unlike a simple massive object, an inerter can provide a much larger inertial mass than is suggested by its mass alone, and its inertia can be adjusted.
As an example, a ball screw inerter is shown in Fig. 1.
The principal formula of a nut rotating ball screw inerter is
where p is the pitch of the inerter's lead screw, J is the moment of inertia of its flywheel, and b is the inertial mass, expressed in kg. The physical properties of an inerter are similar to those of a mass block with a mass equal to the inerter's inertia. According to Eq. (1), the inertial mass produced in the process of flywheel rotation is amplified by the inerter, so that an inertial mass of hundreds of kilograms can be achieved with a small flywheel of much less mass. For example, the mass of a ball screw inerter might be only 1 kg, yet its inertial mass can be adjusted to be 100 kg, providing favorable conditions for practical application.
Because of this characteristic, inerters have been widely studied, for instance in research on grounding of stay cables [26]. Zhang proposed a new inertial enhanced NES and showed that an optimal inertia falls within a certain range [27]. However, there remains a significant mass problem in traditional NESs. Zhang proposed an inerter nonlinear energy sink, which overcomes the defects of large mass in traditional NES, and showed that the inerter nonlinear energy sinks have higher damping performance and much smaller mass than traditional NES [28].
For vibration control of elastic structures, Yang used NES to suppress excessive vibration of a pipeline and showed that the effectiveness of NES in this application [29]. Mamaghani studied the effect of a smooth NES on vibration suppression of a fixed pipe [30]. An impact damper has also been used in analysis of vibration suppression in a cantilever beam, and the results show that it can effectively suppress multiple resonance peaks [31]. The Galerkin truncation analysis of a Timoshenko beam is reported in ref. [32]. For the condition of 3:1 internal resonance, Ding studied the steady-state periodic response of the forced vibration of a moving viscoelastic beam [33]. A nonlinear vibration isolation system with three linear springs has also been found to effectively suppress lateral vibrations [34]. Considering non-ideal boundary support of the beam, the effect of nonlinear stiffness on the vibration suppression of NES has been discussed [35]. Zang also proposed a generalized transitivity method for NES evaluation [36].
Taking advantage of vibration suppression, an energy acquisition system can concentrate energy. Lu's studies of a bistable energy collection mechanism indicate that a horizontal spring is better than combined horizontal and vertical springs [37]. In dynamics and acoustics, strong nonlinearity can also lead to cross scale energy scattering [38]. Li studied the coupling of nonlinear energy sinks and energy collectors [39]. Researchers have shown great interest in the energy acquisition of piezoelectric structure with NES. NES vibration reduction analysis applied to beam structure has been studied more and more deeply. For linear beams with different boundary conditions, the robustness of the optimized NES has been analyzed by Parseh [40]. Under the action of an impact damper, a cantilever beam and the impact mass can collide repeatedly to reduce vibration [41]. Taking temperature and humidity into account, NES can also effectively suppress the nonlinear vibration of composite beam [42]. It can be seen from a wide range of research that NES applied to elastic structures can effectively suppress vibration. Neglecting geometric nonlinearity, some researchers have revealed the vibration characteristics of beams with elastic supports. Zhang installed ten springs at each end of a pipeline [43]. Li uses a semi-analytical method to analyze the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an undamped double-beam system with arbitrary boundary conditions [44]. Ding was the first to discuss axially moving beams with generalized boundary conditions [45]. The dynamic stiffness matrices of axially moving Timoshenko beams and Euler Bernoulli beams with generalized boundary conditions have been established. Wang analyzed the vibration of a nonlinear support beam under harmonic force, and used a cubic spring to simulate the nonlinear elastic boundary [46]. Zang coupled two lever type NESs at the boundary of elastic beam, which proved the effectiveness of lever type NES [47]. Zhang coupled an inertial nonlinear energy sink at the boundary of an elastic beam, and showed that an inertial nonlinear energy sink has good damping effect [48]. However, in engineering applications, large displacement often exists in structural vibration, and the geometric nonlinearity of elastic beams cannot be ignored. Ding proved the necessity of bending vibration and elastic support for structural vibration isolation, and considered the geometric nonlinear characteristics of the beam [49]. Considering geometric nonlinearity, the resonance of asymmetric elastic boundary beam has been analyzed [50]. Based on a stable steady-state response with an initial condition of 0.0001, Ding defined and gave the flexural vibration transmissibility of an elastic beam while considering the geometric nonlinearity of beam transverse vibrations [51].
Mao first studied the nonlinear response of flexible structures under general nonlinear support conditions, and analyzed the boundary nonlinearity in detail. It was found that boundary nonlinearity played an important role in structural response [52]. A simple technique of passive vibration isolation for traditional flexible structures by nonlinear boundary has also been studied [53].
In the work reported here, a nonlinear boundary with inertial nonlinear energy sink (I-NES) is placed at the elastic boundaries of a beam, and the geometric nonlinearity of the beam in transverse vibration is studied. The influence of geometric nonlinearity of the beam on the system response and vibration-suppression effect under foundation excitation is the principal focus, and it is compared with the system vibration response in the absence of geometric nonlinearity. The results show that I-NESs with elastic boundaries can effectively suppress transverse vibration of the beam when the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is considered, and optimized I-NESs can reduce the vibration of the beam by 96%.
2 Dynamic model under foundation excitation
The dynamic model of an elastic beam with vertical spring supports at both ends is shown in Fig. 2, and takes into account its geometric nonlinearity. The quantities L, T and X are length, time and axial coordinate, respectively. KL and KR are the stiffnesses of the left and right vertical springs. Only the transverse displacement of the beam is considered, which is described as W(X, T). The beam is excited by displacement from its foundation at both ends. This displacement excitation is described as \(U\left( T \right) = U_{0} \cos \left( {\Omega \cdot T} \right)\), where \(U_{0}\) and \(\Omega\) are, respectively, the amplitude and frequency of the displacement excitation. I-NESs are coupled to the elastic boundaries at both ends of the beam. The inertial masses of the I-NESs of the left and right ends are expressed by \(b_{{{\text{NL}}}}\) and \(b_{{{\text{NR}}}}\). The linear dampings of the I-NESs at the left and right ends are expressed by \(c_{{{\text{NL}}}}\) and \(c_{{{\text{NR}}}}\). And the cubic nonlinearities of the I-NESs of the left and right ends are expressed by \(k_{{{\text{NL}}}}\) and \(k_{{{\text{NR}}}}\). The inerter can provide larger inertia with small mass, which makes up for the defects of a massive NES. The displacements of the I-NESs at the left and right ends are expressed by \(U_{{{\text{NL}}}} \left( T \right)\) and \(U_{{{\text{NR}}}} \left( T \right)\).
Based on the generalized Hamilton's principle, variational method and partial integration method, the dynamic equation of the system is
where WL and WR are the displacement of the left and right boundaries of the beam.
The dynamic equations for the I-NESs are expressed as
The boundary conditions of the elastic beam are
In dimensionless form, the dynamic equation of the system is
The dimensionless boundary conditions are
Also in dimensionless form, the dynamic equations of the I-NESs are
where
The material of the elastic beam is aluminum alloy; the physical and geometric parameters of the system are shown in Table 1. It is worth noting that the inertial mass is bN = 0.084 kg, while the actual mass is mb = 0.00084 kg. The dimensionless parameters calculated based on Eq. 8 are shown in Table 2.
3 Steady-state response under foundation excitation
According to the parameters in Table 1, the modal function of the beam with elastic support boundaries is shown in Eq. (9). Therefore, the first four modal modes of the beam with elastic support boundaries are illustrated in Fig. 3. In Fig. 3, it can be found that the maximum displacement of the first mode appears at the midpoint of the beam, and the maximum displacement of the third mode appears at the boundaries of the beam. In addition, it can be found that the first and third modes of the elastic beam are symmetrically distributed with respect to the midpoint of the beam, while the second and fourth modes are antisymmetrically distributed with respect to the midpoint. Therefore, in the remainder of this paper, only the left boundary and the midpoint of the beam are considered.
3.1 The Galerkin method
The partial differential equations (5) and (7) can be truncated by using the Galerkin method. The Runge–Kutta numerical method takes the fourth order into account. Then, it is used to solve the time response of the system.
It is assumed that the approximate solution of the transverse vibration displacement of the beam is
where n is a positive integer, ϕn(x) is the modal function of the beam, and qn(t) is the generalized displacement of the transverse vibration. The potential function and the weight function of the Galerkin method are chosen as the modal functions of the beam. The ordinary differential equation can be expressed as
where m = 1, 2, 3, 4, and
Therefore, Eq. (11) can be written as
where
The initial values are set as follows:
For the second-, fourth-, and sixth-order Galerkin truncation, from the time histories under different excitation frequencies, the amplitude frequency response curves of the numerical solutions of the system can be extracted. The steady-state amplitude-frequency response curves of the numerical solution are illustrated in Fig. 4. A(0) represents the amplitude of the left boundary of the beam, and A(L/2) represents the amplitude of the midpoint of the beam. In Fig. 4, the results of fourth- and sixth-order Galerkin truncation almost coincide. At the third-order main resonance, the second-order Galerkin truncation does not show a resonance peak. Therefore, the fourth-order Galerkin truncation is used in the following studies. In Fig. 4, it can also be observed that there is an obvious nonlinear hardening phenomenon and the jump phenomenon at the first-order main resonance of the system.
3.2 The harmonic balance method
The ordinary differential equations obtained by Galerkin truncation can be solved by the harmonic balance method. Considering that the governing equations contain cubic nonlinearity, only odd terms are considered when assuming harmonic solutions. The order of Galerkin truncation is expressed by m, and the harmonic order is expressed by h. Suppose, then, that the harmonic solutions are
Taking the first harmonic assumption as an example, the dynamic equation of the beam coupled with I-NESs is
where \(\phi_{L,1} = \phi_{1} \left( 0 \right),\;\psi_{L,1} = \psi_{1} \left( 0 \right),\;\phi_{R,1} = \phi_{1} \left( 1 \right),\;\psi_{R,1} = \psi_{1} \left( 1 \right)\).
Suppose the solution of the first harmonic is
By substituting Eq. (20) into equation Eq. (18) and sorting out the coefficient equations corresponding to each order of harmonics, the following algebraic equations are obtained.
Then the pseudo-arc-length algorithm can be used to solve the algebraic equations (21), and the amplitude frequency response of the system can be obtained. Here, assuming that the harmonic solution is of order 4. Using the same method, considering the cubic nonlinearity in the equations and ignoring the influence of even order in the hypothetical solution, the steady-state amplitude frequency responses of the system can be obtained.
A comparison of the steady-state amplitude-frequency curves obtained by the harmonic balance method and the Runge–Kutta method is shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen from Fig. 5 that the numerical solution obtained by the Runge–Kutta method has only one steady-state solution. In the region of multiple steady-state solutions, all stable steady-state solutions can be obtained by the harmonic balance method. The forward and backward results of the Runge–Kutta method show an obvious nonlinear jump phenomenon at the first main resonance. Within a certain range, the approximate analytical results are basically consistent with the numerical solutions obtained by the Runge–Kutta method. This implies that the approximate analytical results are accurate and reliable.
4 Vibration suppression analysis of I-NES with or without beam geometric nonlinearity
Au represents the amplitude of the main resonance of the uncoupled system, and Ac represents the amplitude of the main resonance of the coupled I-NES system. Therefore, the vibration suppression evaluation index of I-NES can be expressed as
4.1 Free vibration response
Let \(\dot{q}_{1} = 0.5\) in Eq. (16) and the other initial values are still 0, the vibration suppression analysis for the free vibration response is shown in Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 6, the time history curves of the uncontrolled linear beam and the uncontrolled geometrically nonlinear beam look to an exponential decay. However, the time history curves of the linear beam coupled I-NESs and the geometrically nonlinear beam coupled I-NESs show slopes linear decrease decay. This is the characteristic of nonlinear energy dissipation by NES. Moreover, it can be seen from this figure that the response amplitude caused by considering the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is significantly lower for both the uncoupled system and the coupled I-NES system than for the system without considering the geometrically nonlinearity of the beam. This indicates that the geometrically nonlinearity of the beam also affects the time-domain responses. Therefore, the geometrically nonlinearity cannot be ignored. At the same time, on the premise of considering the geometrically nonlinearity of the beam, I-NES can make the amplitude of the system attenuate rapidly, both at the left boundary and the midpoint of the beam, which has an obvious vibration suppression effect.
4.2 Steady-state response
In Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10, the amplitudes of uncoupled I-NES system are compared whether the geometric nonlinear characteristics of beam are considered or not, and the amplitudes of coupled I-NES system are compared whether the geometric nonlinear characteristics of beam are considered or not. In order to better explain the influence of beam geometric nonlinearity on I-NES vibration suppression without considering the influence of external excitation amplitude, the excitation amplitude U0 is set to the same value. For U0 = 0.0001 m, the vibration suppression effects of the I-NESs on the steady-state responses are shown in Table 3. Obviously, the I-NESs have a significant vibration suppression effect on the main resonance response of the elastic beam. For the first-order main resonance of the left boundary, when the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is not considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 76.53%. When the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 57.47%. For the first-order main resonance at the midpoint of the beam, when the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is not considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 74.99%. When the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 54.49%. It can be seen that the I-NESs have a very good vibration suppression effect whether the geometric nonlinearity is considered or not. As shown in Figs. 8a and 10a, when the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is considered, both the uncoupled and the coupled I-NESs system show strong nonlinear hardening characteristics. When Fig. 7a is compared with Figs. 8a, and 9a is compared with Fig. 10a, it is seen that geometric nonlinearity leads to a significant reduction of the vibration amplitude of the beam. However, compared with the case without considering geometric nonlinearity, the vibration suppression of the I-NESs is reduced. Therefore, the geometric nonlinearity of the beam cannot be ignored in the process of engineering research.
For the third-order main resonance of the left boundary of a beam, when the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is not considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 58.43%. When considering the geometric nonlinearity of the beam, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 58.18%. For the third-order main resonance at the midpoint of the beam, when the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is not considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 58.41%. When the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is considered, the vibration suppression percentage of the I-NESs is 58.16%. It can be seen that the I-NESs have a very good vibration suppression effect whether the geometric nonlinearity is considered or not. However, as shown in Figs. 7b, 8b, 9b, and 10b, for either the left boundary or the midpoint of the beam, compared with the first-order main resonance, the geometric nonlinearity of the third-order main resonance has little effect on the response of the beam.
5 Parameter optimization of I-NES
Since the amplitude of the first-order main resonance is larger than that of the third-order main resonance, only the first-order main resonance of the beam is considered in the following discussion of the parameter of the I-NESs. Taking the damping of the inertial nonlinear energy sink as a fixed value, the influence of the change of inertial mass and cubic nonlinear stiffness on the damping effect of the inertial nonlinear energy sink is discussed.
5.1 Optimal range of I-NES for different damping
For the damping cN = 1, 2, and 3 N·s/m, when the damping and cubic nonlinearity change simultaneously, the two-dimensional contour maps near the optimal inertial mass at the left boundary and midpoint of the beam are shown in Figs. 11, 12.
The optimal parameters of the inertial nonlinear energy sink with different damping are shown in Table 4.
It can be concluded from Table 4 that the optimal parameters value of the inertial nonlinear energy sink for the left boundary and the midpoint are the same. Moreover, the variation trend if the vibration suppression effect of the inertial nonlinear energy sink on the left boundary and the midpoint with the parameters is also the same. As damping increases, the inertial mass coefficient to achieve the best vibration suppression effect gradually increases, while the vibration suppression effect is slightly reduced.
5.2 Analysis of the solution response for the optimal parameters
The optimization parameters of Fig. 11c are selected. For bN = 0.06 kg, cN = 3 N·s/m and kN = 1 × 109 N/m3, the vibration suppression effect shown in Fig. 13. When considering geometric nonlinearity, it can be seen that the optimized I-NES also has a significant damping effect, and the first-order main resonance vibration suppression effect reaches 90%. The third-order main resonance can also be well suppressed.
Based on the parameters in Fig. 13, the time history curves of the nonlinear beam with the optimized I-NESs for f = 16.6 Hz are shown in Fig. 14. It can be seen that the response of the beam is strong quasi-periodic response. The response of the I-NES is strongly modulated response (SMR). This indicated that the I-NES is activated well.
6 Conclusions
This paper reports a study of the vibration response of an elastic beam system with I-NESs, in which the geometric nonlinear characteristic of the beam is considered. The partial differential equation of the system is discretized by the Galerkin method, and the steady amplitude-frequency response curve of the system is approximately solved based on the harmonic balance method, with numerical verification being carried out. By adjusting the inertial mass, damping parameters, and cubic nonlinear stiffness of the I-NESs, the influence of the change of the parameters on the vibration reduction effect of the system is analyzed, and the optimal range of parameters is discussed. Below are the specific conclusions.
When the geometric nonlinearity of the beam is considered, the I-NESs applied to the boundaries of an elastic beam can effectively suppress the transverse vibration of the beam. Comparison results show that for the first-order main resonance, the geometric nonlinearity of the beam strengthens its nonlinear hardening characteristics and reduces the vibration-suppression effect of the I-NES. Therefore, the geometric nonlinearity of the beam cannot be ignored in engineering research.
Here are the optimization results when considering geometric nonlinearity: The vibration reduction percentage of an optimized I-NES can be as high as 90%. In that case, the parameters of I-NES are b = 0.06 kg, cN = 3 N·s/m and kN = 1 × 109 N/m3. For the optimized I-NES, the time series response exhibit the strongly modulated response (SMR).
