Abstract:

In the presentation, Prof Ouyang will introduce the basic concept of receptance and the idea of structural modifications to achieve passive vibration control. The goal is to assign frequencies, modes and nodes to real structures. Laboratory examples and real applications are used to demonstrate the use and the power of this method. All these real cases are work done by his Group of Dynamics and Control.
