Abstract

Journal of Vibration and Control, Ahead of Print.
Passive dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) are widely used in structural vibration suppression with constant demand for higher efficiency in DVA designs. The inerter, which exhibits inertial amplification effects, is often used with springs and/or dampers ...
