Optimization Under Uncertainty of Nonlinear Energy Sinks

Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NESs) are a promising technique for passively reducing the amplitude of vibrations. Through nonlinear stiffness properties, a NES is able to passively absorb energy. Unlike a traditional Tuned Mass Damper (TMD), NESs do not require a specific tuning and absorb energy from a w...
