We show that the solutions of the wave equation with potential, Neumann boundary conditions and a locally distributed nonlinear damping, decay to zero, with an algebraic rate, that is, the total energy E(t) satisfies for ...

High-static-low-dynamic-stiffness (HSLDS) nonlinear isolators have proven to have an advantage over linear isolators, because HSLDS nonlinear isolators allow low-frequency vibration isolation without compromising the static ...

This paper investigates the most desirable configuration of a two-stage nonlinear vibration isolation system, in which the isolators contain hardening geometric stiffness nonlinearity and linear viscous damping. The force ...
