A less common approach but recognised as very effective is to induce mechanisms of transferring the vibration energy associated with low-frequency modes into higher-order vibration modes, where it is quickly dissipated by material damping (in structural volume). In the present work, a novel semi-active modal control methodology is proposed for precise control of mechanical energy transfer between vibration modes by means of lockable joints. Moreover, this control strategy is well-suited also for energy harvesting purposes. Energy of the currently induced vibration modes can be transferred into a preselected structural vibration mode that is tuned with an energy harvester. The proposed control strategy is verified numerically, whereas its experimental validation is shown in the accompanying article within the present proceedings. Afiliacje autorów:

| 2. | Mikułowski G., Ostrowski M., Blachowski B., Jankowski Ł., Semi-active control of modal energy transfer by means of lockable joints: experimental verification, ISMA 2024, 31st International Conference on Noise and Vibration Engineering, 2024-09-09/09-11, Leuven (BE), pp.70-83, 2024 Streszczenie: In this work an experimental study is presented aiming at demonstration of a controlled modal energy transfer concept in frame structures equipped with semi-active members. The proposed semi-active members – lockable joints – allow for local modification of the frame’s stiffness. The objective of the introduced control approach is to provide mechanical energy transfer between particular eigenmodes. A demonstrator has been fabricated for the purpose of the investigation consisting of a double beam frame structure in a cantilever configuration, which is equipped with the semi-active members. The investigated control algorithm employs two types of input signals: local velocity of the structure and local strain of the frame. As a result, a verification of the system effectiveness has been revealed in a variety of frequency ranges. The excitation bandwidth has been appropriately suited to the particular tested cases. The experimentally obtained results confirmed a possibility of the energy transfers between particular structural eigenmodes. Afiliacje autorów:
