Swansea University Author: EMILY NAR

Abstract

An inertial amplifier is a dynamic tuning device, which works to increase the effective mass of a resonator without proportionally augmenting the physical mass of the system. This thesis presents six inertial amplifier mechanisms, namely the single-stage, single-stage truss, compound, compound truss...

description An inertial amplifier is a dynamic tuning device, which works to increase the effective mass of a resonator without proportionally augmenting the physical mass of the system. This thesis presents six inertial amplifier mechanisms, namely the single-stage, single-stage truss, compound, compound truss, nested, and nested truss inertial amplifiers. The configuration of each inertial amplifier is conceived through a series of link-bar mechanisms. Based on the configurations of each inertial amplifier, the kinematic relationships and the equations of motion are derived. The analytical analysis demonstrates that through geometrical adjustments, and proof mass alterations to each system, it is possible to manipulate the effective mass of each system, respectively.
