The set of a heavy metallic ball which is rolling freely inside a semispherical dish with larger diameter, being fixed to structure, is frequently used as tuned mass damp [...]

The beam with an axial force is coupled by an elastic layer of Winkler type with the pretensiled string. It is subjected to a row of moving forces. The theoretical model [...]

The paper provides a support for the wavelet based approach for the analysis of the linear MDOF systems subjected to non-stationary excitation, as was proposed by [Basu a [...]

Wind excited vibrations of slender structures such as towers, masts or certain types of bridges can be reduced using passive or active vibration absorbers. If there is av [...]

Engineering structures subjected to dynamic loading are often equipped with special devices proposed to suppress adverse motion. However, these installations are often d [...]

Many structures encountered in civil, mechanical, naval or aerospace engineering can show properties of auto-parametric systems. The general mathematical structure of the [...]

The pendulum damper modelled as a two degree of freedom strongly non-linear auto-parametric system is investigated using an approximate differential system. Uni-direction [...]
