Abstract: Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are well appreciated for high dynamics applications, due to their lightweights moving parts. Nevertheless, due to the low stiffness of cables, vibrations can occur and can degrade ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the optimal design of a novel nontraditional inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber (NTIDVA) installed on an undamped primary system of single degree-of-freedom under harmonic and transient excitations. ...

Abstract: This article proposes an active modal vibration control method based on a modal sliding mode controller applied to a smart material composite structure with integrated piezoelectric transducers as actuators and sensors. ...

Abstract: Vibrations due to tire–road contact in wheeled vehicles induce acoustic discomfort especially beyond 35 km/h. This paper proposes an active control method to reduce the vibration transmission from the tire–road contact to ...
