✦ Synopsis
The non-obstructive particle damping (NOPD) technology has been recently developed from particle damping and impact damping technologies. In this paper, a quantitative analysis of the dissipation mechanism of NOPD based on a statistical theory is investigated for the first time to our knowledge. Under high-frequency vibrations, the dense granular motion of NOPD is very similar to turbulence. Thus, Kolmogorov's hypothesis in turbulence is adopted to describe the energy spectral density and velocity correlation function of the particles in the NOPD technology. It is shown that the NOPD's mean energy dissipation (per unit mass) increases with either the granular diameter or the volume ratio of the dense granular flow. The quantitative model for the NOPD technology presented in the paper should be useful in possible engineering applications of vibration reduction.
