Mechanical shock is a common problem that is present in many situations, such as ground motion, blast, explosions, crash, and impact. The development of passive, active, or adaptive control and isolation strategies for ...

A large-scale floating raft vibration isolation system installed on a flexible hull-like structure is described in this paper. Four vibration exciters, in which two counter rotating shafts with the same balanced masses are ...

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 ...

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, ...

Vibration isolation of a floating raft system typically found in a marine application is of concern in this paper. Housed on the raft are electrical motors each driving two counter rotating shafts with eccentric masses ...

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 ...

A floating raft vibration isolation system installed on a flexible hull-like structure is described in this paper. Four vibration exciters, in which two counter rotating shafts with the same balanced masses are driven by ...

For the purpose of solving the problems of vibration transmission and sound radiations in ships, synchrophasing control technology was presented. The phases of multiple rotating or reciprocating machines installed on a ...
