Abstract

Journal of Vibration and Control, Ahead of Print.
Targeted energy transfer (TET) is the essence of nonlinear energy sink (NES) to suppress the vibration of a primary system. The TET, however, can only be triggered above a threshold level of the excitation energy. For systems exhibiting small-amplitude ...
