Vibration control is an overwhelmingly concerned issue that exists in many industrial fields
such as machinery, aerospace and civil engineering. Indeed, in terms of energy perspective …

The non-linear energy sink (NES) was introduced as a strongly non-linear attachment of
relatively small mass, coupled to the primary oscillating system. It was demonstrated that the …

Various types of tuned-mass dampers (TMDs), or dynamic vibration absorbers, have been
proposed in literature, including the classic TMD,(parallel) multiple TMDs, multidegree-of …

As a novel dynamic vibration absorber, the nonlinear energy sink has been studied for
mitigating structural and mechanical vibration through the last decade. This paper presents …

This paper presents an investigation of flexural wave band gaps in locally resonant
metamaterials (LRMs). An LRM is a periodic structure consisting of repeated unit cells …

The chapter is devoted to the introduction to the nonlinear theory of micropolar shells called
also six-parametric shell theory. Within the theory a shell is described as a deformable …

Locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs) have recently emerged and shown potential in the
field of noise control engineering, given their superior noise and vibration reduction …

This paper discusses a class of unexpected irreversible phenomena that can develop in
linear conservative systems and provides a theoretical foundation that explains the …

Courant's minimax variational principle is considered in application to the six-parameter
theory of prestressed shells. The equations of a prestressed micropolar shell are deduced in …

Within the framework of the nonlinear six-parameter shell theory we discuss the influence of
initial (residual) stresses on the eigen-frequencies. We derive the linearized boundary-value …
