Abstract
The method of multiple scales is adopted to investigate the dynamic response of a nonlinear Vibration Absorber (VA) whose constitutive behavior is governed by hysteresis with pinching. The asymptotic analysis is first devoted to study the response of the absorber to harmonic excitations and to evaluate its sensitivity to the main constitutive parameters. The frequency response obtained in closed form allows to carry out the stability analysis together with a parametric study leading to behavior charts characterizing multi-valued softening/hardening responses or single-valued, quasi-linear responses. A two-degree-of-freedom model of a primary nonlinear structure endowed with the hysteretic vibration absorber is investigated to explore transfers of energy from the structure to the absorber resulting into optimal vibration amplitude reduction. The asymptotic solution is proved to be in good agreement with the numerical solution obtained via continuation. The asymptotic approach is embedded into a differential evolutionary algorithm to obtain a multi-parameter optimization procedure by which the optimal hysteresis parameters are found.
