Comparative analysis of performance of single-sided and double-sided vibro-impact dampers

Key Points

• The performance of single-sided and double-sided vibro-impact dampers is similar, yet their dynamic behavior varies significantly.
• Dynamic behavior analysis reveals that asymmetric and symmetric nonlinear energy sinks perform efficiently in mitigating structure vibrations.
• Optimized parameters are crucial for achieving comparable performance across different vibro-impact dampers in practical applications.
• This comparative analysis supports the selection of appropriate dampers based on specific vibration mitigation needs in structures.
