Nonlinear targeted energy transfer in mechanical and structural systems

This monograph is the first in the new area of targeted nonlinear energy transfer in mechanical and structural systems. This concept was initially discovered by the two leading authors in 1999, and was further developed exclusively by the entire author group in the last 6 years. Since then, additional groups of researchers in the USA, Russia, UK and France have started working on this concept and applying it. It is estimated that in the years to come, the conceptof targeted nonlinear energy transfer will be considered and applied by numerous groups of researchers and practitioners internationally. This monograph presents theoretical methods, computational results and experimental demonstrations of this concept applied to discrete and continuous coupled nonlinear oscillators. The introduction to the International literature of the new concept oftargeted nonlinear energy transfer, whereby unwanted vibration energy is transferred to preferential directions within a system, or to structural modes that are compatible to a set of requirements or design objectives Novel and has vast applications to diverse fields of engineering, applied mechanics, and applied physics/mathematics INDICE: 1.
