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 …

Tuned mass dampers are well-known devices for efficient reduction of structural vibrations;
however, they can only control the vibration of a single mode in a narrow frequency range …

This paper deals with the design and development of a multi-frequency adaptive tuned mass
damper based on a cantilever beam equipped with shunted piezoelectric elements. It is …

The automotive industry uses centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVAs) to reduce
vibrations of the transmission system. These passive devices are made of several masses …

The simplest family of vibration absorbers comprise inertia absorbers, with an inerter in
series with a parallel or series dashpot–spring element, and stiffness absorbers, for which …

Electromagnetic shunt damper (EMSD) offers flexible tunability of linear damping. The low
damping force-to-mass ratio of the EMSD, however, hinders those applications which …

Rotating machines are often subjected to fluctuating torques, leading to vibrations of the
rotor and finally to premature fatigue and noise pollution. This work addresses a new design …

An experimental proof of concept of a new semi-passive nonlinear piezoelectric shunt
absorber, introduced theoretically in a companion article, is presented in this work. This …

Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVAs) are often used by the automotive
industry to reduce vibrations of the drivetrain. These passive devices consist of several …

This article proposes a novel mean for tuning the natural frequency of an electromagnetic
resonant shunt, using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit. It is used to modulate the …
