Abstract: An analytical method is derived for the vibration analysis of doubly curved shallow shells with arbitrary elastic supports alone its edges, a class of problems which are rarely attempted in the literature. Under this ...

Abstract: Linear singlestage vibration isolation systems have a limitation on their performance, which can be overcome passively by using linear twostage isolations systems. It has been demonstrated by several researchers that linear ...

Abstract: A novel design of a two-stage nonlinear vibration isolation system, with each stage having a high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS), is studied experimentally in this paper. The positive stiffness in each stage is ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation into the vibration control of multiple electrical machines installed on a large-scale floating raft system. Vibration transmission to a flexible hull-like structure that ...
