Abstract: The bistable nonlinear energy sink (NES) shows high efficiency in mitigating vibration through targeted energy transfer (TET). It performs well in low- and high-energy input cases, whereas, for a cubic NES, TET occurs only ...

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the study of a nonlinear energy sink (NES) intended to attenuate vibration induced in a harmonically forced linear oscillator (LO) and working under the principle of targeted energy transfer (TET). ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the motion reconstruction and the parameter estimation of a vibro-impact (VI) system from limited experimental information. Based on the measured displacement and acceleration ...
