Abstract: We study the nonlinear vibration of a beam with an attached grounded and ungrounded nonlinear vibration absorber (NVA) using the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes of the loaded beam. The nonlinearity in the beam ...

Abstract: Recent attention has been given to acoustic non-reciprocity in metamaterials with nonlinearity. However, the study of asymmetric wave propagation has been limited to mechanical diodes only. Prior works on electromechanical ...

Abstract: Numerous recent works have established the potential of various types of metamaterials for simultaneous vibration control and energy harvesting. In this paper, we investigate a weakly nonlinear metamaterial with electromechanical ...

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: Considerable attention has been given to nonlinear metamaterials because they offer some interesting phenomena such as solitons, frequency shifts, and tunable bandgaps. However, only little is known about the spectro-spatial ...

Abstract: Recent work in nonlinear topological metamaterials has revealed many useful properties such as amplitude dependent localized vibration modes and nonreciprocal wave propagation. However, thus far, there have not been any ...
