Structural vibration control has received considerable research attentions in the past few
decades, with special emphasis on developing effective, affordable and applicable control …

In this paper, a review of the nonlinear aspects of the mechanical inerter will be presented.
The historical context goes back to the development of isolators and absorbers in the first …

This paper proposes the use of a novel type of passive vibration control system to reduce
vibrations in civil engineering structures subject to base excitation. The new system is based …

To further explore the beneficial effects of the vibration isolation performance of a new
vehicle ISD (inerter-spring-damper) suspension using a mechatronic inerter, this paper …

This paper considers the use of a tuned inerter damper (TID) system for suppressing
unwanted cable vibrations. The TID consists of an inerter, a device that exerts a force …

This work studies the advantageous features of the fluid inerter device for optimised
structural control of buildings. Experimental data are first presented to characterise the fluid …

The undesirable vortex-induced vibration (VIV) may seriously influence the fatigue life and
serviceability of bridge structures. It is important to take countermeasures to suppress the …

A new ideal mechanical one-port network element named the inerter was recently
introduced, and shown to be realisable, with the property that the applied force is …

This paper introduces the concept of negative stiffness inertial-amplifier-base-isolators to
achieve enhanced broadband vibration control. Three physically different novel isolators …

This article provides an introduction and overview of the inerter concept and device. Careful
attention is given to the distinction between the inerter as an ideal modeling element and …
