-# Performance TET RCC
+# Performance of TET and RCC
+
+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
+
+# Literature
+
+The concepts of the performances were first discussed in [1] .
