The nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom system under consideration consists of the linear oscillator with a relatively big mass, which is an approximation of some continuous elastic system, and of the vibro-impact oscillator with a relatively small mass, which is an absorber of the linear system vibrations. Analysis of nonlinear normal vibration modes shows that a stable localized vibration mode, w...

Abstract   In vibratory systems, linear and nonlinear vibration absorbers can be used to suppress the primary and super-harmonic resonance responses. In this paper, the behavior of a nonlinear system with a nonlinear absorber, under the primary and super-harmonic resonances is investigated. The stiffnesses of the main system and the absorber are cubically nonlinear and the dampers are linear. M...

recently, a large amount of studies have been related to nonlinear systems with multi-degrees of freedom as well as continuous systems. the purpose of this paper is to optimize passive vibration absorbers in linear and nonlinear states for an euler-bernoulli beam with a nonlinear vibratory behavior under concentrated moving load. the goal parameter in the optimization is maximum deflection of t...

The paper investigates a nonlinear vibration mitigation strategy of variable length pendulum subjected to harmonic external excitation. A absorber in form tri-pendulum system is used reduce the response primary pendulum. Thus, non-stationary problem using another passive absorber. Due genuine interest capturing dynamic interaction, numerically studies performance mass and absorber, first, by co...

Linear passive vibration absorbers, such as tuned mass dampers, often contain springs, dampers and masses, although recently there has been a growing trend to employ or supplement the mass elements with inerters. When considering possible configurations with these elements broadly, two approaches are normally used: one structure-based and one immittance-based. Both approaches have their advanta...

because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...

Watts [1] in 1883 and Frahm [2] in 1909 reported on the first use of a dynamic vibration absorber. The range of industrial applications of such device is wide and includes the minimization of the rolling of ships, the damping of torsional vibration of internal combustion engines and the smoothing of vibrations in a barber cutter. The minimization of oscillations of tall buildings by means of dy...

in this work an improved method for designing a linear vibrational absorber, excited by random vibrations is presented and analyzed. first, analytical expressions, for non-stationary white noise accelerations, are derived. the criterion is different from the conventional criteria, used for structural design under random vibration, and it is based on minimum displacement or acceleration response...

OBJECTIVES Prolonged exposure to severe chipping hammer vibration may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome. A reliable test method is required to select appropriate tools and assist in the development of better chipping hammers. In the present study, the ISO standardized test method (ISO 8662-2, 1992) was examined through an investigation of the vibration characteristics of chipping hammers operat...
