Coupled systems that contain rotating elements are typical in physical, biological and
engineering applications and for years have been the subject of intensive studies. One …

This paper further explores the potential of parametric resonance to enhance wave energy
conversion in a pendulum-based pitching floating energy harvester, considering power …

The dynamics of cardiovascular rhythms have been widely studied due to the key aspects of
the heart in the physiology of living beings. Cardiac rhythms can be either periodic or …

Smart material systems and structures have remarkable properties responsible for their
application in different fields of human knowledge. Shape memory alloys, piezoelectric …

Autonomous electronic devices and sensors are essential to reduce expensive
maintenance, increasing job security and reliability, avoiding battery replacements and …

The control of irregular or chaotic heartbeats is a key issue in cardiology. In this regard,
chaos control techniques represent a good alternative since they suggest treatments …

In this work, a dynamic model of a rotating pendulum with a spinning tip mass is developed.
The pendulum is rotating with a prescribed angular velocity around the vertical axis, while …

Chaos may be exploited in order to design dynamical systems that may quickly react to
some new situation, changing conditions and their response. In this regard, the idea that …

We study synchronization of a number of rotating pendulums mounted on a horizontal beam
which can roll on the parallel surface. It has been shown that after the initial transient …

We investigate the dynamics of the vertically forced Duffing oscillator with suspended tuned
mass absorber. Three different types of tuned mass absorbers are taken into consideration …
