This study models boring mandrel vibrations using a four-mass system. Results show vibration dampers significantly reduce both natural and forced oscillations, optimizing damping element parameters.
Area of Science:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Vibration Analysis
- Control Systems
Background:
- Boring mandrels are susceptible to oscillations that can affect machining accuracy and tool life.
- Existing damping methods may not be optimal for all operating conditions.
- Viscoelastic couplings offer potential for advanced vibration control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a mathematical model for boring mandrel oscillations with a vibration damper.
- To investigate the effectiveness of vibration dampers in reducing mandrel oscillations.
- To determine optimal parameters for vibration damping elements.
Main Methods:
- Developed a four-mass system mathematical model representing the boring mandrel, machine support, and damper.
- Solved the system of differential equations using the finite difference method.
- Employed the operator method with Laplace transforms for numerical solutions.
Main Results:
- The vibration damper significantly reduces the amplitude of natural vibrations under pulsed excitation.
- The damper also substantially decreases the amplitude of forced vibrations from periodic disturbances.
- The developed model and solution algorithms enable selection of optimal damping parameters.
Conclusions:
- Vibration dampers are effective in mitigating boring mandrel oscillations.
- The mathematical model provides a basis for designing optimized damping systems.
- Further research will involve prototype development and field testing.

The reaction developed in a structural element when subjected to an external force causes the element to bend. When a structural element bends upwards, it creates compressive normal forces on the top and tensile normal forces on the bottom, resulting in a couple that determines the bending...
