Defective two adjacent single degree of freedom systems linked by spring-dashpot-inerter for vibration control
The paper deals with the analytical formulation of two adjacent single degree of freedom systems coupled by spring-dashpot-inerter elements adequately tuned in order to build a defective system. From modal analysis analytical expressions of eigenvalues, damping factor and connection parameters in order to build defective systems are given. It is demonstrated that is always possible to realize a defective system when a connection with spring-dashpot-inerter elements is utilized, irrespectively of the assumed structural parameters.
