..., or nodes, at some specified locations on the laminated composite plate using properly tuned damped oscillators. Using the assumed-modes method, the governing equations of the laminated composite plate carrying the damped oscillators are first formulated. A set of constraint equations is established...

...Lei Lu; Xiao-Dong Yang; Wei Zhang By investigating the transverse vibrations of an axially moving string with time-varying supports, the existence and the pattern of static nodes are studied based on the assumed mode method and the linear superposition method. The explicit expressions...

...Yichang Shen; Philip D. Cha; Xiang Zhou In this paper, a simple and efficient method to enforce nodes, or points of zero vibration, on an arbitrarily supported rectangular plate subjected to multiple harmonics with distinct excitation frequencies is developed. This vibration suppression is achieved...
