Nonlinear energy sink (NES) is an appropriately designed nonlinear oscillator without
positive linear stiffness. NES can suppress vibrations over a wide frequency range due to its …

Dynamical and structural systems are susceptible to sudden excitations and loadings such
as wind gusts, blasts, earthquakes, and others which may cause destructive vibration …

Structural vibration is a common phenomenon existing in various engineering fields such as
machinery, aerospace, and civil engineering. It should be noted that the effective …

In order to improve the reliability of the nonlinear energy sink (NES), a nonlinear, non-
contact magnetic force is proposed to limit the large vibration of the NES oscillator in this …

Aiming at the problem of vibration suppression performance of the traditional track nonlinear
energy sink (TNES) is hindered by the energy threshold limitation, a track nonlinear energy …

This paper proposes a novel track bistable nonlinear energy sink (track BNES) to solve the
energy-dependence issue in conventional NESs, which utilizes the track configuration to …

A tuned mass damper (TMD) is one of the most used structural control devices. However, a
traditional TMD has the disadvantage of high sensitivity to frequency deviation and difficulty …

This paper is dedicated to the optimal design of a bistable nonlinear energy sink (NES) for
the vibration control of a periodically excited linear oscillator. This system with negative …

Engineering structures are susceptible to natural and man-made hazards, threatening
structural normal functionality and safety. Considerable attention has been paid to the …

In this paper, a magnetic bi-stable NES (MNES) is proposed for structural seismic control.
Permanent magnets are configured to generate noncontact and smooth bi-stable restoring …
