Absorbing energy using coupled resonances

This thesis is concerned with the small amplitude response of coupled resonant systems which are subject to forcing. In particular, we consider systems consisting of a primary body with a fixed secondary, internal or external, component that each exhibit resonance. Motivated by the potential to expl...
