Nonlinear energy sinks (NES) are able to robutsly absorber vibrations of mechanical systems, through targeted energy transfer (TET) and resonance capture cascade (RCC). This repo contains MATLAB functions which are able to compute the performance measures pumping time, energy dissipation and cascading time of a NES attached to vibrating main system
The concepts of the performances were first discussed in [1] .
