Abstract

Abstract : The dynamic responses of a linear primary structure coupled with a nonlinear energy sink (NES) are investigated under harmonic excitation in the 1 : 1 resonance regime. In civil engineering, initial conditions are usually zero or approximately zero. Therefore, in this study, only these conditions are considered. The strongly modulated response (SMR), whose occurrence is conditional, is the precondition for effective target energy transfer (TET) in this system. Therefore, this study aims to determine the parameter range in which the SMR can occur. The platform phenomenon and other related phenomena are observed while analyzing slow-varying equations. An excitation amplitude interval during which the SMR can occur is obtained, and an approximate analytical solution of the optimal nonlinear stiffness is found. The numerical results show that the NES based on the optimal stiffness performs better in terms of control performance.
