“…An important research avenue is the field of nonlinear vibration mitigation. Several solutions, such as nonlinear energy sinks, 6,7 autoparametric vibration absorbers, 8,9 nonlinear tuned vibration absorbers, 10,11 friction devices, 12,13 and impact dampers [14][15][16] have demonstrated beneficial strengths over traditional linear solutions. Another, more recent trend consists in adding nonlinear elements to a nonlinear structure in order to prescribe its characteristics, for instance, by linearizing its global behavior.…”
