The transmissibility of nonlinear energy sink based on nonlinear output frequency-response functions

Abstract For the first time, a new representation of transmissibility based on nonlinear output frequency-response functions (NOFRFs) is proposed in the present study. Furthermore, the transmissibility is applied to evaluate the vibration isolation performance of a nonlinear energy sink (NES) in frequency domain. A two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) structure with the NES attached system is adopted. Numerical simulations have been performed for the 2-DOF structure. Moreover, the effects of NES parameters on the transmissibility of the nonlinear system are evaluated. By increasing the viscous damping and mass, as well as decreasing the cubic nonlinear stiffness of the NES, the analytical results show that the transmissibility of the 2-DOF structure with NES is reduced over all resonance regions. Therefore, the present paper produces a novel method for NES design in frequency domain.
