Abstract: Cables are used for engineering applications such as transport systems that involve mobile cables suspended between supports for carrying attached vehicles. Because of the inherent cable’s flexibility and the modification ...

Abstract: In response to the bridge damages observed in past earthquakes and the absence of practical analysis methods, a simplified analysis procedure named the fault rupture-response spectrum analysis (FR-RSA) method was developed ...

Abstract: In this paper the targeted energy transfer (TET) phenomenon between a linear multi-DOF master structure and several slave parallel nonlinear energy sink (NES) devices during a 1:1 resonance ...

Abstract: Targeted energy transfer from one acoustical mode to a Helmholtz resonator (HR) with nonlinear behaviors is studied. For the HR, nonlinear restoring forces and nonlinear damping are taken into account. A time multiple scale ...

Abstract: The multi-time-scale responses of a two-degree-of-freedom pendulum coupled with a nonlinear absorber were studied. The absorber was positioned in an arbitrary direction with respect to those of the pendulum oscillations. ...

Abstract: Formulation of governing equations for an elastic cable have a long and dated history. A unified framework to detect the dynamics of such systems is detailed, justified, and assessed numerically. Modal analyses are performed ...
