Abstract:To study the hysteretic behavior of clearance viscous damper influenced by temperature, the temperature of cylinder outer wall and damping force were monitored at different loading frequencies. The results indicate that the faster the loading speed is, the faster the temperature of cylinder outer wall rose, and the smaller the area of hysteresis curve is. Based on Fluent, two thermal-liquid-solid coupling surfaces were established to stimulate the process of viscous liquid motion. The influence of temperature variation on hysteresis behavior of clearance viscous dampers is obtained. The simulation curve basically coincides with the test curve, which confirms the reasonability of the stimulation. The decline in hysteretic behavior of clearance viscous damper is caused by the increasing temperature of viscous liquid during its continuous reciprocating motion and positively related to velocity. Two improvements of viscous damper for heat dissipation are suggested.
