Abstract
Vibration mitigation is a key issue in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. A significant research effort is now focusing on developing new principles, materials and devices to overcome current limitations. Scope of the Mini-Symposium is to gather contributions on innovative concepts as:
- Locally resonant acoustic metamaterials
- New damping materials (carbon nanotube composites, shape memory alloys, metal particles, photorheological fluids)
- Surface damping treatments for structural components
- Tuned resonant masses, inerter-based absorbers, tuned liquid column dampers
- Viscoelastic damping devices with fractional law
Contributions may include (but are not restricted to) applications in the following fields:
- Vibration mitigation of structural, mechanical and aerospace components
- Seismic isolation
- Vibration/oscillation mitigation in offshore wind turbines
