Abstract:
A sequential application and removal of constraints can remove energy from vibrating systems. In this paper several optimization formulations are suggested, whereby maximum energy removal is achieved by selecting optimal strategies that identify where and when the constraints should be applied. The optimization process is illustrated by means of simple mass-spring and membrane systems and the corresponding problems are solved using a genetic algorithm.
