To reduce size and weight of the inertial mass required in traditional nonlinear energy sink
(NES), an inerter nonlinear energy sink (INES) for suppressing the torsional vibration of the …

A closed detached response due to the resonance response interaction has a critical effect
on vibration isolation and energy harvesting. In this paper, a promising novel approach by …

A generalized transmissibility is proposed to evaluate nonlinear vibration absorbers. Due to
possible existence of higher order harmonics and aperiodic motion, the root mean square is …

Motor-gear transmission systems often display pronounced torsional oscillations, primarily
stemming from their inherent nonlinearity. In the case of these multi-degree-of-freedom …

This paper discusses the application of a cam-roller nonlinear energy sink (CRNES) to
suppress the vibrations induced by multi-frequency excitation. The universal equations of …
