    Nonlinear Motion Control of a Column Using a Coupled Gyroscope

    Ünker, F.; Çuvalci, O.; Sener, S; Saridogan, E; Staub, S

    In this paper, a system of the gyroscopes coupled via the massless torsional springs and the massless torsional dampers mounted on the tip mass of a column subjected to a vibrating base is considered. The coupled gyroscopes are assumed to have reverse angular speeds, and the rotations to eliminate the torques due to the springs and the dampers. Taking advantage of the angular momentum of the rotating gyroscope, gyrostabilizer systems are expected to become more widely actualized as they provide an effective means of motion control with several significant advantages for various structures. The non-linear motions of the gyro-column system and the equations of motion for the system are derived following energy (Lagrange) based approaches and examples provided. On the other hand, the effect of the angular velocities of the gyroscopes are studied, and it is shown that the angular velocity (spin velocity) of a gyroscope has a significant effect on the behavior of the dynamic motion. It is also shown how the dampers and springs due to the motion between the suporting gimbals influence the dynamic behavior of the column. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Seismic Motion Control of a Column Using a Gyroscope

    Ünker, F.; Çuvalci, O.; Sener, S; Saridogan, E; Staub, S

    Taking advantage of the angular momentum of the rotating gyroscope, gyrostabilizer systems are expected to become more widely actualized as they provide an effective means of motion control with several significant advantages for various structures. In this paper, a symmetric gyro with coupling to the tip mass of a column mounted on a vibrating base is considered. The non-linear motions of the gyro-column system and the equations of motion for the system are derived following energy (Lagrange) based approaches and examples provided. On the other hand, the effect of the angular velocity of the gyroscope is studied, and it is shown that the angular velocity (spin velocity) Omega of gyroscope has a significant effect on the behavior of the dynamic motion. It is also shown how the damper and spring due to the motion between the suporting gimbal and tip mass influence the dynamic behavior of the gyroscope. It was concluded that the numerical investigations of this combined system has not been investigated up to the present time. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Vibration Control of a Column Using a Gyroscope

    Ünker, F.; Çuvalci, O.; Sener, S; Saridogan, E; Staub, S

    In this paper, the characteristics of a vibration control system utilizing a gyro and its effectiveness in the control of the motion subjected to a seismic ground motion acceleration were studied. Lambda gyro design was presented as a vibration absorber for reduction of the column vibration, which has a potential for application to towers, high-rise buildings and other structures. The non-linear motions of the gyro-column system and the equations of motion for the system are derived following energy (Lagrange) based approaches and examples provided. On the other hand, the effect of the angular velocity of the gyroscope is studied, and it is shown that the angular velocity (spin velocity) Omega of gyroscope has a significant effect on the behavior of the dynamic motion. It is also shown how the damper and spring due to the motion between the suporting gimbal and tip mass influence the dynamic behavior of the gyroscope. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
