Confinement of Vibrations in Variable-Geometry Nonlinear Flexible Beam

In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for controlling a flexible nonlinear beam with the confinement of vibrations. We focus principally on design issues related to the passive control of the beam by proper selection of its geometrical and physical parameters. Due to large deflections within th...
