Abstract

In this paper the targeted energy transfer (TET) phenomenon between a linear multi-DOF master structure and several slave parallel nonlinear energy sink (NES) devices during a 1:1 resonance capture is investigated. An analytical method is proposed for tuning optimal NES parameters, which leads to efficient TETs. Then, the procedure is intentionally narrowed for a 4DOF master structure with two parallel NESs at the last DOF in order to grasp optimum NES parameters of a prototype structure that is built and tested at the Civil Engineering and Building Department Laboratory of the ENTPE. The aim is to control the first mode of the compound nonlinear prototype system by demonstrating the efficiency of designed parallel NESs by the suggested method.
