The simplest family of vibration absorbers comprise inertia absorbers, with an inerter in
series with a parallel or series dashpot–spring element, and stiffness absorbers, for which …

Electromagnetic shunt damper (EMSD) offers flexible tunability of linear dam**. The low
dam** force-to-mass ratio of the EMSD, however, hinders those applications which …

This paper proposes a new tool for the selection of optimal elementary shunts connected to
piezoelectric patches, which are bonded on thin structures to control the multi-resonant …

This article addresses piezoelectric shunt dam** through a resonant shunt associated
with negative capacitances. The main objective of this article is to provide guidelines for …

This paper describes a piezoelectric two-degree-of-freedom vibration absorber. The
piezoelectric 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) vibration absorber consists of a beam-type …

This paper deals with the use of matrix inequalities for the aim of multi-modal piezoelectric
shunt dam**. The paper shows that the shunt impedance can be seen as a controller in a …

A self-sensing vibration control technique using nonlinear synchronized switch dam** on
the voltage sources (SSDV) is proposed in this article. SSDV, as one of effectively nonlinear …

Dynamic vibration absorbers (DVA) are classic and effective devices to reduce the
amplitude of vibration sustained by structures. A promising alternative to the DVAs is the …

Vibration control of structures is introduced by a piezoelectric proof-mass absorber with a
resistive-inductive shunt, introducing the structural mass, absorber mass and voltage across …

In this paper, we study and compare performance and robustness of linear and nonlinear
Lanchester dampers. The linear Lanchester damper consists of a small mass attached to a …
