The study proposes a novel vibration isolator with 3D quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) property.
The remarkable feature of the proposed system is to apply symmetrically scissor-like …

In this paper the dynamical interactions of a double pendulum arm and an
electromechanical shaker is investigated. The double pendulum is a three degree of …

In this work, the horizontal nonlinear response of a three-degree-of-freedom vertical
transportation model excited by guide rail deformations is investigated. The equation of …

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are micro scale devices that are able to convert
electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa. In this paper, the mathematical …

The use of nonlinear energy sink as a passive control device is extended here to a nonlinear
elastic string, in internal resonance conditions, excited by an external harmonic force. The …

An analysis of a new energy harvester model is presented, based on a simple portal frame
structure, considered a nonideal system due to the kind of excitation influenced by the …

In the few decades, the study of electro-mechanical systems which are capable to extract
energy from an operating system in the environment has been of most importance. In this …

The performance of the optimal linear feedback control and of the state-dependent Riccati
equation control techniques applied to control and to suppress the chaotic motion in the …

A model of energy harvester based on a simple portal frame structure is presented. The
system is considered to be non-ideal system (NIS) due to interaction with the energy source …

During the last decade the chaotic behavior in MEMS resonators have been reported in a
number of works. Here, the chaotic behavior of a micro-mechanical resonator is suppressed …
