Abstract: This article introduces damping amplifiers integrated into the core material of conventional nonlinear friction base isolators to improve their vibration attenuation capabilities and mitigate their shortcomings. Four new ...

Abstract: Energy harvesting is a promise to harvest unwanted vibrations from a host structure. Similarly, a dynamic vibration absorber is proved to be a very simple and effective vibration suppression device, with many practical ...

Abstract: We develop an analytical formulation describing propagating flexural waves in periodically simply supported nanoribbons by means of Eringen's nonlocal elasticity. The nonlocal length scale is identified via atomistic finite ...
