Dynamics of Nonlinear Primary Oscillator with Nonlinear Energy Sink under Harmonic Excitation: Effects of Nonlinear Stiffness

The dynamics of a system consisting of a nonlinear primary oscillator, subjected to a harmonic external force, and a nonlinear energy sink (NES) are investigated. The analytical solutions for the steady-state responses are obtained by the complexification-averaging method and the analytical model is...
