Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by ...

In analysis, it is common practice to conceptualize structures, objects, and isolation systems as basic mass-spring-damper models, as depicted in Figure 42.1. All objects experience vibration when ...

The MK26 Series Vibration Control Workstation with more ergonomic comfort is designed specifically for ultra-low natural frequency applications. The system utilizes MinusK patented negative stiffness ...

Here we consider a harmonically-excited (point load on the top floor) four-DOF building model using modal uncoupling. From this procedure we are able to see that the response of the building is ...
