Abstract

Taking the complex mechanical systems as the research project, a theoretical multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) model was established. Based on the vibration characteristics analysis of this system, a novel method of vibration mitigation was proposed, which can be applied to most of the complex mechanical systems. Through this method, limited grounding stiffness was made use of and added to certain degree of freedom (DOF) discretely. Thus, the root-meansquare (RMS) of the systems amplitude can be reduced to ideal level. The MATLAB code based on this method was attached, which was tested on the theoretical model. Consider that complex mechanical systems are nonlinear and uncertain, theoretically the optimal solution of vibration mitigation is inaccessible. However, this method can always provide a relatively effective solution.
