Abstract
This paper studies the efficiency of a number of smooth non-linear energy sinks (NESs) on the vibration attenuation of a rotor system under mass eccentricity force. The non-linear energy sinks have a linear damping, linear stiffness and a cubic stiffness. To reduce the number of equations of motion, the modal coordinates and complex transformations are used. For analytical solution, the Multiple Scales-Harmonic Balance Method (MSHBM) is used. The most important parameters to examine NES efficiency is the range of happening of the SMR in the detuning parameter range. For different parameters of the system, the SMR, the WMR, the low amplitude periodic motion, and the high amplitude periodic motion happen in the system. It is shown that, the linear stiffness of the NES is canceled out by the stiffness which is created by the centrifugal force and therefore, by changing the linear stiffness of the NESs, the collection of the NESs to the desired rotational speed of the rotor can be tuned. It should be noted that after this cancellation, the remained stiffness is essentially non-linear (non-linearizable) stiffness. In addition, when the external force reaches its medium magnitude, the area of the occurrence of the SMR in the domain of the system parameters would be larger and the collection of the NESs demonstrates an impressive effect.
