A GENERAL EQUATION FOR THE OPTIMUM VALUE OF A NONLINEAR POWER TRAIN VIBRATION SYSTEM INCLUDING FRICTION

A general equation, which takes into account the energy transfer mechanism, is presented for determining the optimum value of a nonlinear vibration system. So far, there have been a number of reports on the optimization of a nonlinear vibration system that includes friction. However, most of them have used a simulation model to compute the optimum value of the system and there appear to have been no studies in which the optimum value was found analytically. The new equation has been applied to the problem of reducing the booming noise of a diesel-powered passenger car. The vibration system characteristics obtained have proved effective in reducing the noise to an acceptable level.
