In this video we take a look at how vibrating systems can be modelled, starting with the lumped parameter approach and single ...

By exploiting the piezoelectric effect to drive, monitor and tune the resonant vibration of this beam (which has a number of gold electrodes patterned on its surface), they show that they can ...

A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is attached to a vibration body. The stiffness and mass of the absorber are designed in order to produce an "anti-resonance ...
