Experimental study and numerical simulation of vibration control energy transducer

The energy transition vibration control is a high effective control technique, whose principle is to use the transducer set on appropriate locations to transform the seismic energy and store it. The control method can protect the structure from the earthquake. The numerical simulation and experimental study on the transducer were conducted. First, mathematic and simulated model of the transducer were deduced and a set of transducer was developed and tested. Furthermore, the comparison of experimental results and simulation results was finished. The study shows the new transducer can effectively transform the vibration energy to hydraulic energy and the theoretical model can accurately describe the mechanical performance of the transducer.
