A comparison of two nonlinear damping mechanisms in a vibration isolator
(2013-02-04)
The vibration transmissibility characteristics of a single-degree-of- freedom (SDOF) passive vibration isolation system with different nonlinear dampers are investigated in this paper. In one configuration, the damper is ...

On the dynamic behaviour of the "click" mechanism in dipteran flight
(Academic Press Ltd Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2011-11-21)
In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of the "click" mechanism is analysed. A more accurate model is used than in the past, in which the limits of movement due to the geometry of the flight mechanism are imposed. Moreover, ...

A simplified Fermi Accelerator Model under quadratic frictional force
(Sociedade Brasileira de Física, 2008-03-01)
Some dynamical properties for a simplified version of a one-dimensional Fermi Accelerator Model under the action of a small dissipation is studied. The dissipation is introduced via a damping force which is assumed to be ...

Insight into the dynamic behaviour of the Van der Pol/Raleigh oscillator using the internal stiffness and damping forces
(2016-10-03)
The van der Pol oscillator is an archetypal nonlinear oscillator that has been studied for many years. It is a self-sustaining oscillator that vibrates in a limit cycle, and has the characteristic that it generates energy ...
The Characteristics of Vibration Isolation System with Damping and Stiffness Geometrically Nonlinear
(2016-10-03)
The paper concerns an investigation into the use of both stiffness and damping nonlinearity in the vibration isolator to improve its effectiveness. The nonlinear damping and nonlinear stiffness are both achieved by horizontal ...
