Popis: The purpose of this study was to solve the problem that the damping of rubber or silicone oil torsional dampers used in crankshafts is not adjustable and cannot effectively control torsional vibration at different resonant frequencies. Based on the controlled rheological properties of magnetorheological (MR) smart materials, this study designed a new type of variable damping MR torsional damper (MRTD) and proposed a semi-active control method to effectively control the torsional vibration of the crankshaft under multiple harmonic resonances. First, a mechanical model of the MRTD and a lumped parametric mass model of the crankshaft system were developed, and the resonance frequency harmonic range of the crankshaft system operation was determined by the torsional vibration characteristics analysis. Then a semi-active skyhook control method for the MRTD was proposed, and a joint control simulation analysis was performed using Amesim and Matlab software. The torsional vibration control effects of the crankshaft system with no damper, MRTD with different damping coefficients, and MRTD with skyhook control under acceleration and uniform speed conditions were comprehensively investigated. The simulation results indicated that the skyhook damping control significantly reduced the torsional vibration amplitude under both acceleration and uniform speed conditions, verifying the effectiveness of the skyhook-based control strategy for MRTD.
