AI Technical Summary
Traditional passive vibration damping devices suffer from problems such as narrow tuning band, large size and weight, or parameter sensitivity under low-frequency, multi-modal dense, or wide-frequency excitation conditions. Existing superstructure solutions have insufficient end load input efficiency, deformation dispersion leading to low energy consumption efficiency, and difficulty in controlling frequency drift in low-frequency multi-modal engineering scenarios.
A modular superstructure vibration damper based on water-elastic origami connecting units is adopted. By arranging water-elastic origami connecting units between mass blocks, they can undergo compression, shearing, folding and unfolding or local torsional deformation when relative displacement occurs under external excitation. Combined with multi-layer series structure and viscoelastic energy dissipation design, adjustable dynamic characteristics are formed.
It achieves high flexibility and adjustable dynamic characteristics within a limited space, improves the effect of low-frequency vibration control, and has the ability to reduce vibration and adjust parameters within the target frequency band. It is suitable for array expansion and applicable to superstructure vibration reduction systems of different scales and topologies.
