Mathematical Modeling of a Transient Vibration Control Strategy Using a Switchable Mass Stiffness Compound System
Figure 10
(a) Displacement response for both the main () and the secondary system (- - -). (b) Energy levels in the system. Time is normalised with respect to the mean period . For this example the stiffness reduction ratio is and the mass ratio , giving a secondary to primary system frequency ratio and maximum energy dissipation ( total energy; - - - kinetic energy; potential energy).
