Experimental Investigation of the Optimal Location of a Damper to Dissipate the High Modes of Vibration

Experimentally verified the theoretical study of Zhu et al. in “Stabilization of a Translating Tensioned Beam through a Pointwise Control Force” (2000/ASME)

The problem of controlling the high frequency modes of vibration of large engineering structures has become a challenge in the Northeastern hemisphere of the US. An example of this is power transmission lines failing due to fatigue of vibration caused by the environment. Zhu et al. modeled this problem with a fixed-pinned aluminum beam and found that the optimal location of a linear viscous damper to provide the largest stability margin for a maximum number of modes of the beam is 2/3*length of the beam away from the pinned boundary

Experimental apparatus of the fixed-pinned beam was developed and the experimental decay rates were determined and compared to that of Zhu et al

Experiment successfully validated that the optimal location of the damper for the beam was indeed 2/3*length of the beam away from the pinned boundary
