The nonlinear energy sink (NES) has been verified to have a broadband damping effect in
many studies. In this paper, the in-plane vibration of an inclined cable attached with an NES …

By introducing the concept of a graded structure to seismic metamaterials, a new type of
graded seismic metamaterial assembled using four steel sections with different graded …

Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) and tuned mass damper (TMD) have achieved excellent
control performance. However, their energy and frequency robustness, as well as a large …

Current methods account for control–structure interaction (CSI) in structural control design,
which may be unavailable in the preliminary design phase of actively controlled structures …

A vibration-based local damage identification method is proposed for truss-like structures
with breathing cracks. Firstly, a bilinear model is established to represent the characteristics …

Two novel seismic metamaterials models, trophy and apple core, inspired by an ancient
Chinese puzzle are proposed in this study. Bandgaps below 15 Hz are achieved by …

Vibration suppression of a simply supported beam under moving loads is investigated by
employing a nonlinear energy sink (NES), which is an essential nonlinear (cubic) oscillator …

The conventional control methods typically assume that the controlled structure behaves as
a deterministic system, overlooking variations in structural dynamic properties and …
