Tailoring Nonlinear Normal Modes and Managing Bifurcations
摘要
The objective of this Chapter is to demonstrate how the intentional utilization of nonlinearity can bring important benefits in the area of engineering design. Two different applications are considered, namely (i) the tailoring of the nonlinear normal modes of a structure through the addition of a nonlinearity and (ii) the management of the bifurcations of a structure through the addition of a nonlinear tuned vibration absorber.
