Nonlinear system identification is a vast research field, today attracting a great deal of
attention in the structural dynamics community. Ten years ago, an MSSP paper reviewing …

The vibration control performance of a combined vibration isolation (CVI) system consists of
a quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) system and a linear dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) is …

Control-based continuation (CBC) is a means of applying numerical continuation directly to
a physical experiment for bifurcation analysis without the use of a mathematical model. CBC …

A novel type of a nonlinear energy sink is proposed by introducing a lever to reduce the
necessary mass. The lever-type nonlinear energy sink is attached to a two-degree-of …

Magnetically modulated sliding structure (MMSS) is proposed and systematically
investigated in this paper. The MMSS consists of the sliding beam and a pair of repulsive …

This work proposes on a novel continuum vibratory absorber that integrates a lever-type
nonlinear energy sink (LNES) with asymmetric elastic boundary into viscoelastic Euler …

In this paper a piecewise linear nonlinear energy sink (PLNES) is developed for the purpose
of simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting. The apparatus consists of a …

Conventional nonlinear vibration absorbers must provide additional mass and motion space
to achieve the expected vibration control effect, which will significantly alter the original …

Abstract Acoustic Black Hole (ABH) phenomenon features unique wave retarding and
energy focusing of flexural waves inside thin-walled structures whose thickness follows a …

In this paper, a frequency-domain characterization of the period doubling bifurcation is
proposed. This allows an efficient detection and localization of such points along frequency …
