initial equilibrium position under the restoring forces
(such as elastic forces, gravitational forces, for a simple
mass is attached to a spring, for a pendulum). The system
tends to keep back to its original position of equilibrium.
The system is the combination of the elements. They act
together to accomplish the objective. For example an
automobile is the system which is the combination of the
elements (wheels, car body, suspension, and so forth)
work together. The output of the static element whose is
the given time only depends only on the input at the while
the dynamic element is one whose output depends on the
past dynamic. In this way we speak the static and dynamic
systems [11]. In static system which contains all the
elements. In the dynamic system which contains at least
one dynamic elements.
The analytical study of the particle damper
established the particle dynamics method developed for
the kinematics of particle damping, containing the shear
friction between the particles of the materials and
contacting area with particles and the dissipation of
energy in terms of heat of the particle material. Contact
forces between the particles and the enclosure walls are
intended based on force displacement relations [8].
Particle impact damping gives the high damping
performance, granular particles are place into their
respective holes into vibration structure. The elastic
cantilever beam is drilled through horizontally and these
holes are filled with the particles. Reduce the vibrations by
shear friction produced by shear gradient with the
lengthwise to the structure. A physical model to determine
the shear forces between the particle layers and the impact
of the particles on the inside of the hole. A numerical
procedure to determine the damping effect of vibrating
structure. Experimental test on the beam and plate to
calculate the various damping treatments. The particle
impact damping is found effectively robust for a
broadband range [1].
Abstract - The vibration creates problem to
serviceability requirement of the structure and also
reduce structural integrity with possibilities of failure.
A study made up of general behaviour of particle impact
damping. The exact study is done with help of
experimentation. In the particle dampers the enclosures
partially filled with metallic fine spheres, attached to
the vibrating structure. The traditional damping
materials frictional and energy dissipation and impact
phenomena which are highly nonlinear. (PID) particle
impact damping is a means for achieving high damping
performance by the means of particles of various
materials filled inside the enclosure. The various
particles are strikes on wall of the enclosure as well as
on each other and absorbs the kinetic energy of the
structure and convert it into heat. In this work the study
is conducted on the cantilever beam. The enclosure is
attached at the free end of the beam. The enclosure is
filled with the copper particles. These particles are used
for the vibration suppression. In this study the
aluminium material is used for the cantilever beam so
on that beam carry out the experimental work. The
beam with and without particles are studied for
satisfactory
damping
performance.
The
experimentation is carried out on the beam for the
effective particle size and to select the best damping
ratio of the particles.

1. INTRODUCTION
The displacements of the particle, body or any
system of connected number of parts moves from the
position of equilibrium is known as vibration. The
machines and the structures mostly contains unwanted
vibrations which effects and produces increased stresses,
energy losses, causes wear, increases in the excess bearing
load, increases in the fatigue, excess vibrations in the
vehicle causes uncomfortable to passengers, which
decreases the efficiency of the system also in the rotating
machines when it rotates it generates vibrations above the
balance ratio etc.
Vibrations arises if the system dislocate from its
equilibrium position. The system retrieves to return its

2. METHODOLOGY
Beam or a cantilever beam is a horizontal or vertical
structural part that is accomplished of withstanding the
load primarily by resisting bending. The bending force
persuaded into the material of the beam it result into the
external loads, own weight, span and external reactions to
these loads is called a bending movement. Beams are

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.1 Transient Excitation
The fig. 5 and 6 shows the performance of the sizes which
are selected for the experiment. In this experiment fig 5
and 6 shows the effect of the acceleration vs. packing ratio
and displacement vs. packing ratio. The graph of
acceleration and displacement are nearly same in the
nature for all type of materials and all sizes of particles.
The nature of acceleration and displacement various with
the packing ratio. The packing ratio is changes from 0% to
75% with step of 25%. The particles studied for this study
are 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm. The nature of acceleration and
displacement is changes from 0% to 25% and 25% to 50%
and 50% to 75%. The acceleration and displacement is
more for 0% packing ratio and it reduces to the packing
ratio 25%. After 25% packing ratio it increases up to 75%.
This effect is occurs due to proportion of impact
phenomena and friction phenomena on the beam while
damping. So the results are show that the 25% to 50%
packing ratio is greatly effective for particle impact
damping.

displacement is given to the free end of the beam. The
beam is allowed to move freely and the reading are taken.
The readings are also conducted for the forced vibration as
same as discussed above. The exciter tip is kept on exact
below of the beam free end. The enclosure is fixed at the

The displacement and acceleration is directly proportional
to the movement of the particles inside the enclosure.
Additionally when the size of particle is decreases the
number of particles are increases and mass ratio increases,
so that the impact of particles and wall of enclosure
increases. So the size 10mm particles gives the minimum
damping performance because of the increase in damping
performance and decrease in friction effect. When the no of
particles are increased the friction effect increases but at
the same time the impact effect decreases. So the highly
damping effect is achieved by using 6 mm particles and
50% packing ratio.

Fig 7 to fig 9 shows the performance of the sizes which are
selected for the experiment. In this experiment fig 7 to 9
shows the effect of the acceleration vs. frequency and
displacement vs. frequency for the size of 6mm, 8mm, and
10mm for four packing ratios of each particle size. When
the 0% packing ratio means there are zero particles
present into the particle impact damping enclosure. This
shows that zero particles means no damping effect be
because of there are absent of impact and the absent of
friction so there is no any heat loss. Nevertheless the
packing ratios from the range of 25% to 75% found the
different in the damping effect seen easily as well as in the
impact and the friction effect. For the impact effect there is
need of the excitation for this the acceleration of the beam
is more than the acceleration due to gravity for that case
choose the excitation frequency range is selected 8 Hz to
24 Hz for the experimentation.

Fig. 7 gives the damping performance of the cantilever
beam with the particle size of 6 mm. It is found that the
highest damping effect is for the packing ratio of the 25%
from the comparing of the other packing ratios. This is
happen because the impact of the particles increases and
the friction effect decreases. It is found that the effective
packing ratio is from range 25% to 75% and the best
damping ratio is 25%.

For fig 9 revels that the particle impact damping
performance of 10 mm size balls. The best particle impact
damping performance is for the 50% packing ratio
comparing the other damping packing ratios. For the
packing ratio of 50% there is the size of the particles
increased. For the bigger size of particles there is the
impact effect decreases and the friction effect is increases.
So the packing ratio of 50% gives the maximum damping
effect.
Fig 8 shows that the damping performance of the particle
size 8 mm. and it is found that the highest damping
performance is found at 25% packing ratio amongst the
other packing ratios. There is the 50% and 75% packing
ratio is closely related to each other. For the damping
effect of 25% packing ratio there is the friction effect is less
and the impact effect is more for the particles. When the
damping effect for the packing ratio 50% and 75% there is
the is the friction effect dominate the impact effect. So all
of them the effective damping of packing ratio is 25%.

4. CONCLUSION
It is observed that, one of important factors, considered for
the particle impact damping is size of the particles. The 6
mm dia. particles of copper material is found effective as
comparison to other sizes (8 mm, 10 mm) of copper
material, for the transient as well as forced excitation. Also
it is found that, packing ratio also effects on the vibration
suppression. The effective packing ratio is found to be in
between 25% and 50% for the forced excitation.
