Fluid Structure Interactions Research Group Smart Materials and Structures with Hybrid Nonlinear Vibration Control for Marine Applications Guanghong Zhu gz1e11@soton.ac.uk Supervisors: Dr. Yeping Xiong, Prof. Steve Daley and Prof. R. A. Shenoi Faculty of Engineering and the Environment • Motivation • For passenger ships (Figure 1), vibration and noise pollutions affect the comfort of passengers and crew members. • Vibration and noise generated by marine engines create pollutions, which harm the marine life and become one of the environmental problems. • New knowledge and technology need to be developed to address these problems by effectively controlling vibration transmission and acoustic noises. • Methodology • In order to further investigate dynamical properties of different MREs, it is necessary to perform multiple modes dynamic loading tests. • The nonlinear vibration theory considering the actual strain–stress relationship will be employed to establish mathematical model and predict the dynamic response of the MRE material and structure. • A hybrid passive/active vibration control system with adaptive MRE materials (Figure 3) will be investigated. • Nonlinear power flow approach will be developed to analyze the vibration energy transmission mechanism to evaluate the vibration control effectiveness.
