Design and Analysis of Suspension Systems with Balanced-Perpendicularly-Guided Structures

抄録

This paper presents the applications of a new vibration wave suppression structure, the balanced-perpendicularly-guided structure (BPGS), to suspension system design. This structure can transfer vibration input into several branches of vibration waves in the perpendicular directions, in a way that the forces of those perpendicularly guided vibration waves are balanced with each other. The radial type, the ring type, and the multiple-ring BPGS suspension systems are introduced. The related dynamic equations are derived, and the frequency response and the transient response are conducted. The perpendicular branches of the BPGS can absorb a large portion of the vibration waves and diminish them by the internal friction. The multiple-ring BPGS system can provide more flexibility in frequency range selection for emphasis to further improve performance.
