This paper presents experimental observation of nonlinear vibrations in the response of a flexible cantilever beam to transverse harmonic base excitations around its flexural mode frequencies. In the experimental setup, ...

The effects of nonlinearity, particularly stiffness nonlinearity, has been of concern to structural engineers for many years. The main reason for this is because this type of nonlinearity can cause unpredictable dynamics, ...

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 ...

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 ...

We explore the vibration attenuation of a periodic structure when one absorber with nonlinear cubic stiffness is included without increasing the total mass. Metastructures, and specifically periodic structures, present ...

The effects of nonlinearity, particularly stiffness nonlinearity, has been of concern to structural engineers for many years. Primarily this has been because this type of nonlinearity can cause unpredictable dynamics, and ...

Knowledge of the nonlinear characteristics of a vibration absorber is important if its performance is to be predicted accurately when connected to a host structure. This can be achieved theoretically, but experimental ...

Although nonlinearity in dynamical systems have been of concern for many years due to its unpredictable effects, researchers and engineers have recently begun to incorporate it into mechanical and mechatronic devices to ...

The paper concerns the introduction of cubic nonlinearity into a vibration absorber to improve its effectiveness. The nonlinear stiffness is offered by a thin clamped circular plate which undergoes large flexural deflection. ...
