Figure 11. Finite element model of clamped-free beam with a pressurised fluid-filled cavity separating a pair of laminae of orthotropic material with material axes at right angles to each other (thickness of each lamina is 0.25 mm). separated by a fluid filled cavity. Fibre reinforcements joining the upper and lower surfaces prevent them from bulging. Figure 11 shows the FE model of the deformation resulting from the application of a 1 bar pressure. For the dimensions shown, and a Poisson ratio (vj2=0.3, the tip deflections are 0.13 mm, 0.145 mm, 0.274 mm, respectively, for major and minor Young moduli (£\, E2) of (180 GPa, 10 GPa), (10 GPa, 5 GPa), (100 GPa, 5 GPa). If such a beam were incorporated into the devices of figure 4 and figure 10 then these deflection values would be the changes in the crown height H for a 1 bar change in pressure. Hence, it is expected that a pressure increase of, say, 20 bar would result in significant variation to the tuned frequency. MTL. 06h RR el , i ee: Se a, ee nD Ee Sy es fe ns fe

A further requirement for the actuator is that its longitudinal stiffness should be sufficiently high as to prevent variation in the distance between the cantilevers as a result of vibration-induced deformation. Hence, a suitable actuating mechanism for the device would be a screw driven by a servomotor, like that used in Kidner & Brennan (2002). Alternatively, it might be possible to use the gel actuator developed in associated research (Santulli et al. 2002) forming part of the same multi-disciplinary project as the research presented in this paper.

Moreover, for a given level of vibration, nonlinear effects are expected to be more prominent at low values of M9, as shown in figure 17, which compares the nonlinear expression in equation (3.22) with the linear (tangential) relationship of equation (3.23) for three different values of #9. It is also seen from figure 17 that, for deflections from the stable equilibrium position, the spring hardens in tension (F'>0) and softens in compression (F'<0).
