Abstract:The goal of our research is to develop a nonlinear absorber that will be effective at low frequencies and low amplitudes of vibration, notably in the domain of vibroacoustics. From this perspective, the usual Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NESs) based on the idea of the internal resonance have certain limitations due to the relatively high activation threshold. In order to decrease this threshold we developed the idea of a bistable absorber. The bistability provides a chaotic regime in the absorber dynamics that lead… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
