Abstract: Nonlinear vibrations of an elastic structure with two partially filled liquid tanks subjected to horizontal harmonic excitation are investigated. The natural frequencies of the structure and ...

Abstract: The nonlinear responses of a single-degree-of-freedom system with two pendulum tuned mass dampers under horizontal sinusoidal excitation are investigated. In the theoretical analysis, van der Pol’s ...

Abstract: The characteristics of two, three, and four nonlinear vibration absorbers or nonlinear tuned mass dampers (NTMDs) attached to a structure under harmonic excitation are investigated. The frequency ...

Abstract: Honeycomb damper seals with convergent-tapered clearance have been proposed to improve static and dynamic characteristics of liquid annular seals employed in pumps. Their characteristics are ...
