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 ...

We have learned that an effective way to passively control vibration is through the usage of a "vibration absorber". A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is ...

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