Ring dampers are solutions to the traveling-wave vibration (TWV), a threat to high-speed
thin-walled gears. But a complete design method for them is lacking, and normal dampers …

In the domain of vibrations, the response of a mechanical system is often depicted as the
amplitude versus the excitation frequency, namely the frequency response. For a given …

In this article, we propose a new concept for tuning a resonant piezoelectric shunt absorber
thanks to the use of a nonsmooth electronic component. It consists in adding a voltage …
