Powertrain shuffle-mode resonance suppression by means of flywheel mounted torsichrone centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers

• A flywheel mounted centrifugal pendulum absorber (CPVA) is designed to completely suppress the low frequency shuffle-mode resonance of a heavy-duty truck powertrain by exploiting the eigenfrequency veering property of the CPVA. The shuffle-mode is excited by the half-order torque of a five-cylinder engine in a downspeeded powertrain during cruising conditions. It is shown that the design of the CPVA may be performed by linear analysis of the CPVA and powertrain system. The linear design is then validated by full nonlinear simulations of the powertrain. A complete suppression of the shuffle-mode resonance is achieved with relatively small total mass of the pendula which makes it highly possible to implement in practice. Downspeeding and downsizing of combustion engines, without sacrificing the power output, are methods to reduce emissions, although, resulting in increased noise and vibration using conventional vibration reduction technology. The CPVA is an order tuned device that can help to reduce the increased vibrations and thus help to reduce the environmental impact of heavy-duty vehicles.
