Vibro-impact spring-pendulum nonlinear energy sink

Abstract Several types of nonlinear energy sinks have been proposed in the literature for shock and seismic vibration mitigation of dynamical structures. Accordingly, this study proposes two nonlinear energy sink (NES) configurations that incorporate single-sided vibro-impact wit...

Detailed energy analysis of a structure coupled with linear absorber or nonlinear energy sink under seismic ground motion

Abstract The performance of linear and nonlinear vibration absorbers is usually quantified by the percentage of energy transfer and dissipation by the absorber damping content. However, in the case of continuous energy input into the structure like seismic ground motion, the amou...
