We report on the accurate measurement of nonlinear ellipse rotation (NER) by means of a phase-sensitive method employing a dual-phase lock-in. The magnitudes and signs of pure refractive electronic nonlinearities of silica ...

The purpose of this work is to investigate the control of the oscillations and the suppression of vibrations in damped and coupled oscillators. In this sense, we look into the potential of using a nonlinear energy sink in ...

The consideration of nonlinearities in mechanical structures is a question of high importance because several common features as joints, large displacements and backlash may give rise to these kinds of phenomena. However, ...

This paper considers the nonlinear dynamics of an electromechanical device with a pendulum arm and a Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) put on the point of the pendulum suspension. It is shown that the (NES) is capable of absorbing ...
