On an Active Control for a Structurally Nonlinear Mechanical System, Taking Into Account an Energy Pumping

The purpose of this work is to investigate the control of the oscillations and the suppression of vibrations in damped and coupled oscillators. In this sense, we look into the potential of using a nonlinear energy sink in combination with an optimal linear control for nonlinear system to suppress structure vibrations under an impact load. As a result, we obtain that the nonlinear energy pumping (a one-way passive and almost irreversible energy flow from a linear main system to a nonlinear attachment that acts as a nonlinear energy sink) can be enhanced with the help of appropriate active control. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the approach presented here.
