This paper describes an analytical and experimental investigation on the property of modal disparity in a vibrating structure. For a given structure, the concept of modal disparity describes its ability to generate significant ...

Vibration suppression in harmonically forced viscously damped systems is considered using a new vibration absorber setup. The absorber is placed between the primary system and the supporting ground. The optimal absorber ...

A vibration suppression strategy based on passive damping is presented. Modal energy is shifted from low to high frequency modes where it will be rapidly dissipated. This is achieved through the repeated application and ...

In this work, the Marciniak and Kuczynski model (MK) will be reviewed and will be generalized to a more general approach for the calculation of forming limit diagrams. In the new model we will account for all directions ...

This paper describes an analytical and experimental investigation of the property of modal disparity in a vibrating structure. For a given structure, the concept of modal disparity describes the structure's ability to ...

This paper is concerned with the design of vibration absorbers for the reduction of the transient vibration in systems. The classical absorber setup is considered first where the absorber is attached to the primary system. ...

Vibration suppression in simply supported beams traversed by constant moving loads is explored using linear vibration absorbers. Assuming the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, the beam is modeled using its first ten modes. The ...

We investigate the use of cable tension for active vibration control in frame structures. A general formulation for this class of systems is developed using finite elements, which includes the dynamics of the structure and ...
