Restraints along slender structures, such as pipes conveying fluid and beams, play
important roles in enhancing their bending stiffness. The current work investigates the …

Vortex-induced vibrations are one of the major factors in fatigue failure of power
transmission lines and can be mitigated using vibration absorbers in the form of Stockbridge …

The design of vibration control devices requires an accurate knowledge of the dynamic
behavior of the system to be controlled. The present work aims to propose a methodology to …

Numerous recent works have established the potential of various types of metamaterials for
simultaneous vibration control and energy harvesting. In this paper, we investigate a weakly …

This work investigates the performance of a moving damper for overhead transmission lines.
The damper or absorber consists of mass-spring-damper-mass system. The absorber is …

The safety of a passing train depends on different factors, of which one of the most important
is the behavior of the foundation. Therefore, the effects of the nonlinearity of ballast on the …

The vibration of a single conductor with Stockbridge dampers is examined theoretically and
experimentally. Two novel analytical models are presented. In the first model, the conductor …

A numerical and experimental investigation of the natural frequencies and frequency
response of a cantilevered three-layer sandwich beam carrying a tip-mass is presented. The …

In this article, a correspondence between multiple time scales (MTS) results and nonlinear
system identification (NSI) method is established to identify nonlinear modal interactions in …

This paper examines the nonlinear vibration of a single conductor with Stockbridge
dampers. The conductor is modeled as a simply supported beam and the Stockbridge …
