Mathematical Modeling of a Transient Vibration Control Strategy Using a Switchable Mass Stiffness Compound System

Figure 2

Free vibration of the on-off switchable system illustrating the effects of the stiffness change (— high stiffness; low stiffness). (a) Phase plane plot, (b) time history of the displacement response. Response quantities have been normalized to their respective maximum values, and time is normalized considering the mean period .
