In this work, we show that perfectly localised modal vibrations can be obtained in continuous
linear elastic structures, provided that, in addition to the regular boundary and …

In a previous work, the authors investigated, with promising results, the use of a piezoelectric
element for the sake of energy harvesting from a rod assemblage subjected to varying …

Resonant response of turbomachinery blades can lead to high cycle fatigue (HCF) if the
vibration amplitudes are excessive. Accurate and reliable simulations of the forced response …

Synchronous modal oscillations, characterized by unisonous motions for all physical
coordinates, are well known. In turn, asynchronous oscillations lack a general definition to …

An approach for building a real-time simulation and testing platform for a novel seamless
two-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) for electric vehicles (EVs) is proposed …

The motivation for this paper comes from offshore engineering, in which pre-stressed heavy
chains, vertical cables, and rods attached to floating buoys are subjected to imposed heave …

The asynchronous vibration modes of a prismatic beam on elastic media under varying
normal force are addressed for both continuous and discrete models. For the latter ones …

This work provides a comprehensive discussion about the modal asynchronicity (or
localisation) phenomenon applied to structural systems. Departing from a Ziegler's column …

The existence of structural systems where some vibration modes are perfectly localized/
asynchronous (that is, where finite parts of the structure remain at rest along some modal …

It is well-known that linear systems commonly experience synchronous modal oscillations.
Modal synchronicity implies that all material points reach their maxima/minima at the same …
