The addition of an essentially nonlinear membrane absorber to a linear vibroacoustic system with multiple resonances is studied experimentally, using quasiperiodic excitation. An extended experimental dataset of the system response is analyzed under steady state excitation at two frequencies. Thresholds between low and high damping states within the system and associated noise reduction are obs...

analyzing the nonlinear vibration of beams is one of the important issues in structural engineering. according to this, an impressive analytical method which is called modified iteration perturbation method (mipm) is used to obtain the behavior and frequency of a cantilever beam with geometric nonlinear. this new method is combined by the mickens and iteration methods. moreover, this method don...

This article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. The electrostatic actuation was induced by applying AC-DC voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. In contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. In additio...

Nonlinear vibration of a fluid-filled single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with simply supported ends is investigated in this paper based on Von-Karman’s geometric nonlinearity and the simplified Donnell’s shell theory. The effects of the small scales are considered by using the nonlocal theory and the Galerkin's procedure is used to discretize partial differential equations of the governing i...

A nonlinear optimal control method is developed for magnetostrictive actuators used to actively attenuate plate vibration. Significant improvements in vibration control can be achieved when the magnetostrictive actuators are driven at moderate to high field levels. This results in nonlinearity and hysteresis which cannot be effectively compensated using linear control theory. This issue is addr...

In this paper, vibration control of a nonlinear string system is considered. The system consists of a nonlinear string, two boundary supporting mechanisms, and a moving transporter at the base. To suppress the vibration, boundary control designs are carried out. A new robust and adaptive boundary controller is designed using the Lyapunov direct method. The proposed control is implemented at the...
