The mem-inerter: A new mechanical element with memory

A new two-terminal mechanical element named the mem-inerter described by a relation between integrated momentum and displacement is introduced as the memory counterpart of an inerter. It exhibits an individual “fingermark” featured by a pinched hysteresis loop located within the momentum-velocity pl...
