Under certain conditions, an oscillator can enter a stable regime when submitted to an external harmonic force whose frequency is far from the natural frequency of the oscillator. This may happen when the external force acts on the oscillator in a way which depends on the oscillator's spatial position. This phenomenon is called 'argumental oscillat...

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) supplement existing structures with damping while preserving stability. As evolutions of the structure to be controlled may pull down the performance of this kind of device, large bridges under construction in windy areas are rather equipped with active devices such as AMDs that prove efficient (7th International Seminar o...
