Abstract

The nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) with strong essential stiffness nonlinearities have been shown to result in vibration isolation in the studied system. In comparison, we also studied the steady-state dynamic response of a system with its smooth high-order odd nonlinearity replaced with the best fitted nonsmooth "clearance nonlinearity". The analysis was based on the complexification technique and the separation of the dynamic terms into the "slow-varying" and the "fast-varying" components. We found that the steady-state behavior of a system with the non-smooth NES resembles that of the system with the smooth high-order nonlinearity, preserving the nonlinear energy-pumping feature. This finding paves the way for constructing practical NESs and applying them to practical vibration-isolation problems.
