Abstract:In many applications of structural dynamics, it is desirable to transfer energy from a primary system using a dynamic absorber to protect the structure from destructive vibration amplitudes. Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NESs) are local attachments used to rapidly and passively dissipate energy from a primary structure in a phenomenon known as Targeted Energy Transfer (TET). Consequently, many types of NESs, which incorporate an essential nonlinear property, have been proposed, designed and tested in the literature.… Show more
