Energy dissipation mechanism of inerter systems

Inerter systems have been proven to be effective vibration control devices. The energy-input-dissipation flow offers an alternative perspective to reveal the working mechanism of inerter-based systems for vibration control. In this study, the energy-based method is used to analytically explain the discovered benefits of inerter systems including the reduction in input energy and the enhancement of energy dissipation, which further yields optimal...
