Abstract: This paper presents results from an experimental investigation of the transient response of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers, including a comparison with the analytical results derived in the companion paper, Part ...

Abstract: Transient dynamics of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers, which are used for reducing torsional vibrations in rotating machines, are investigated using analysis and simulations of a dynamical model. These absorbers ...

Abstract: We consider a chain of N nonlinear resonators with natural frequency ratios of approximately 2:1 along the chain and weak nonlinear coupling that allows energy to flow between resonators. Specifically, the coupling is such ...

Abstract: We consider nonlinear interactions in systems of ordertuned torsional vibration absorbers with sets of absorbers tuned to different orders. In all current applications, absorber systems are designed to reduce torsional ...

Abstract: This paper provides a tutorial and summary of the theory of circulant matrices and their application to the modeling and analysis of the free and forced vibration of mechanical structures with cyclic symmetry. Our presentation ...
