Description
Summary:The paper presents a passive elasto-magnetic suspension based on rare-earth permanent magnets: the dynamical system is described with theoretical and numerical nonlinear models, whose results are validated through experimental comparison. The goal is to minimize the dependence on mass of the natural frequency of a single degree of freedom system. For a system with variable mass, static configuration and dynamical behaviour are compared for classic linear elastic systems, for purely magnetic suspensions and for a combination of the two. In particular the dynamics of the magneto-mechanic interaction is predicted by use of nonlinear and linearised models and experimentally observed through a suitable single degree of freedom test rig.
