Snap-through truss as an absorber of forced oscillations

The possibility of absorption of linear elastic system forced oscillations by means of an essentially nonlinear absorber (snap-through truss), which is attached to the linear subsystem, is analyzed. The simplest mass–spring linear subsystem is chosen to study the problem of forced oscillations absorption. The combination of the nonlinear normal vibrations modes method, the Rauscher approach and the asymptotic analysis is used to study forced oscillations of the two-dof system. The absorption vibrations mode in the form of nonlinear normal vibrations mode with small oscillations amplitudes of the linear subsystem and large amplitudes of the snap-through truss is studied. It is shown that this mode is stable over the wide range of the excitation frequency. r 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
