Abstract: This paper examines the nonlinear vibration of a single conductor with Stockbridge dampers. The conductor is modeled as a simply supported beam and the Stockbridge damper is reduced to a mass–spring–damper–mass system. The ...

Abstract: Exposure of human hands to harmful levels of vibration can lead to severe injuries. To attenuate these hand transmitted vibrations, a nonlinear vibration absorber inerter (NVAI) is proposed in this work. The proposed NVAI ...

Abstract: This work investigates the effectiveness of a passive vibration control device to minimize the amplitude of vibrations from a hand-held impact machine (HHIM) transmitted to a hand-arm system (HAS). For this purpose, we ...

Abstract: Uncontrollable shaking in the human wrist, caused by pathological tremor, can significantly undermine the power and accuracy in object manipulation. In this paper, the design of a tremor alleviating wrist exoskeleton (TAWE) ...

Abstract: The application of servocontrolled mechanical-bearing-based precision motion stages (MBMS) is well-established in advanced manufacturing, semiconductor industries, and metrological applications. Nevertheless, the performance ...
