Stiffness and damping tuning through using a piezoelectric friction damper and a layered structure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Vibration suppression is essential for enhancing the performance of mechanical systems, as it prevents structural damage and minimizes noise. Various methods, including passive, semi-active, and active approaches, have been developed to achieve this goal. Among these, friction dampers, primarily categorized as passive, are highly efficient in adjusting system damping and influencing energy dissipation. By modulating the normal force in the friction damper based on external force intensity, performance can be further enhanced. This study employs a piezoelectric actuator to regulate the normal force and introduces an analytical method along with finite element modeling to estimate the normal force in the friction damper. A layered structure is introduced as an additional mean to tune damping and stiffness. The performance of the semi-active piezoelectric friction damper is investigated in free and forced vibrations, including flexural and axial cyclic loads. Furthermore, the advantages of employing layered structures are investigated experimentally. Overall, the piezoelectric friction damper demonstrates effective energy dissipation during macroslip events. Nevertheless, in case of microslip, increasing the actuator voltage results in reduced damping and a marginal rise in stiffness.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
