Vibration confinement and mitigation is vital for structures like bridges and taut cables. Vibration suppression is often achieved by coupling the structure with local dissipative attachments, also known as “absorbers”. Dissipation in the absorber introduces mode complexity which gives rise to an interesting interplay between standing and traveling waves. Mode complexity can be leveraged to localize the vibration over a portion of the structure. The ability to channel input energy via traveling waves to a resonant section of the structure may prove useful as a protective strategy.
