The performance analysis of the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and the Controlled Nonlinear Energy Sink (C-NES) demonstrates distinct characteristics. The tuned TMD exhibits superior performance; however, its sensitivity to system parameter changes can lead to detuning. In contrast, the performance of the C-NES is compromised by the presence of undesired isolation.
In summary, the weaknesses of both systems are evident. While the tuned TMD effectively suppresses shimmy under large perturbations, it lacks robustness, as even minor parameter variations can result in detuning. Conversely, the C-NES offers greater robustness compared to the TMD, but its performance deteriorates under large perturbations due to the influence of undesired isolation.
