Abstract
In this paper governing equations of general multi degrees of freedom (dof) systems with trees of parallel Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) devices at each dof are derived. Then these equations are summarized for a 4 dof structure with two parallel NES at the 4th dof in order to control the first mode of the system. A prototype four storey structure with two parallel NES at the top floor is studied experimentally. The NES of the mentioned system is designed by endowing the suggested method in the Part I of this paper. A couple of experimental tests are carried out on the structure at the DGCB laboratory of the ENTPE, France. The aim is to control the first mode of the compound nonlinear system by demonstrating the efficiency of the parallel NES systems on the intended task.
