Dynamical and structural systems are susceptible to sudden excitations and loadings such
as wind gusts, blasts, earthquakes, and others which may cause destructive vibration …

Nonlinear energy sink (NES) is an appropriately designed nonlinear oscillator without
positive linear stiffness. NES can suppress vibrations over a wide frequency range due to its …

Vibration control is an overwhelmingly concerned issue that exists in many industrial fields
such as machinery, aerospace and civil engineering. Indeed, in terms of energy perspective …

The performance of the nonlinear energy sink (NES) that composed of a small mass and
essentially nonlinear coupling stiffness with a linear structure is considerably enhanced here …

This paper explores a promising novel approach by integrating nonlinear energy sink (NES)
and giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) to realize vibration control and energy …

Abstract Supported Pendulum Tuned Mass Dampers (PTMDs) are vibration absorbers
whose mass is constrained to oscillate along a curved path, enabling to use gravity as a …

Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) are known for their capacity of resonating with a wide range
of frequencies. However, the occurrence of resonance in NESs strongly depends on the …

This Communication reports on an approximate analytic procedure for analysis of transient
damped response in a system comprising a primary linear oscillator and vibro-impact …

The vibration reduction of a piecewise linear system coupled with a nonlinear energy sink
(NES) is studied. Piecewise stiffness can restrain the large vibration while the NES …

In this paper a highly asymmetric, lightweight, vibro-impact non-linear energy sink (NES)
leading to very efficient passive non-linear targeted energy transfer (TET) is investigated. To …
