The inerter has garnered much attention in the past two decades owing to its unique
mechanical characteristics. As a substitution of the capacitance element based on the …

Conventionally, single-targeted H∞ or H 2 optimization methods are adopted to determine
the optimal parameters of different Dynamic Vibration Absorbers (DVAs) individually. A …

Inerter-based tuned mass systems (ITMSs) have been successfully applied to control the
vibration of structures. The control performance of ITMSs is significantly affected by their …

Abstract Tuned Mass Damper Inerter (TMDI) is a novel type of dynamic vibration absorber
for achieving lightweight design while maintaining excellent control performance. Compared …

This paper presents the optimal design for novel negative-stiffness non-traditional inerter-
based dynamic vibration absorbers called NS-NIDVAs. The underlying idea of negative …

Inspired by the lightweight passive vibration control technology, in this work a new anti-
vibration device is proposed to significatively improve the protection for stationary …

Variable vibration is difficult to control due to the uncertainty and variability of vibration
frequency. Vibration absorbers are widely used in engineering, however, the efficiency of …

Recently, inerter based dynamic vibration absorbers (IDVAs) have been extensively
investigated to control the harmonic and stochastic vibrations. Numerous studies on the …

In this paper a new design for a small scale inerter-based dynamic vibration absorber (IDVA)
is presented, based upon a pivoted-bar mechanism. There are several new innovations in …

In mechanical optimization design problems, there are often some non-continuous or non-
differentiable objective functions. For these non-continuous and non-differentiable …
