TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate theoretically and experimentally the potential of a vibro-impact type nonlinear energy sink (VI-NES) to mitigate vibrations of a linear oscillator (LO) subjected to a harmonic excitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic response of a harmonically forced linear oscillator (LO) strongly coupled to a nonlinear energy sink (NES) is investigated both theoretically and experimentally, and it is shown that there is an optimal zone in the forcing amplitude nonlinear stiffness parameter plane, where SMR occurs without having a high amplitude detached resonance tongue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the theoretical design and experimental realization of a nonlinear energy sink coupled to an energy harvester, where the mass of the Magnetic-Strung NES is a magnet which is linked to the primary system by means of two strings with adjustable pretension that work transversally.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the passive control of chatter instability in turning processes using a vibro-impact nonlinear energy sink (NES) and showed that such a response regime may be beneficial for chatter mitigation.

TL;DR: In this article, a belt-pulley system subjected to tension fluctuations is analyzed via the multiple scales approach for predicting the nonlinear response, considering longitudinal viscous damping, and the experimental investigation validates the assumptions made and the proposed model.
