This paper analytically and experimentally investigates the potential of a tuned mass
damper (TMD) with an integrated piezoelectric layer for simultaneous energy harvesting and …

In the paper, the dynamic characteristics of a three induction motor driven system on a
simply supported elastic beam are studied. Firstly, a dynamic coupling model of the whole …

The dynamics of a system comprising a heavy rotor which is coupled to a motor through a
long and torsionally flexible drive shaft with universal joints (U-joints) at its both ends is …

In this paper, the dynamics of a non-ideally driven single-degree-of-freedom vibrating
system will be explored in detail. The objective is to describe Sommerfeld effect in a …

The article examines the effect of linear dam** and combined linear and nonlinear cubic
dam** of an elastic support on the dynamics of a gyroscopic rigid rotor with a non-ideal …

Periodically-varying gear mesh stiffness is a source of parametric excitation, which causes
torsional instabilities in geared rotor systems. Unbounded amplitude growth at instability …

In this work, we present an investigation into the 2: 1 internal resonance and saturation
phenomena in a compound micromachined U-shaped portal frame MEMS device and its …

Nowadays, a novelty of devices that use magnetic restoring forces to generate oscillations
has increased substantially. These kinds of devices have been commonly used to energy …

Sommerfeld effect is a nonlinear phenomenon observed in rotating machinery driven by a
non-ideal source. It is characterised by capture at resonance for a finite range of drive power …

This study addresses the influence of the Sommerfeld effect on the behaviour of
vibrocompacting machines driven by unbalanced electric motors. Based on a simplified …
