Abstract

In marine engineering, some floating raft systems typically can be simplified as coupling plate structures in analyzing their vibration characteristics due to their structural characteristics, where they contain additional installation space between each sub-structure. Nonlinearities studied in the existing study can be designed as coupling elements to connect each sub-structure of the floating raft systems, which may play a positive influence on the vibration control of the floating raft systems. Against this background, this work proposes a theoretical vibration model of a simplified floating raft system (SFRS) attached to connecting nonlinear spring-mass systems (CNSMSs). Based on the correct results, vibration responses of SFRS attached to CNSMSs are studied. According to the numerical analysis, CNSMSs present multi-frequency vibration restraining characteristics, where the vibration of each subplate can be concurrently restrained by reasonably using CNSMS. Reasonable parameters of CNSMS are good for the vibration restraining of SFRS under resonance regions. Unreasonable parameters motivate complicated responses of SFRS. Furthermore, the vibration of each subplate can be concurrently restrained by reasonably using CNSMS. The introduction of CNSMSs provides a possible way to restrain the vibration of SFRS.

期刊介绍： Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses. Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering. The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
