Abstract The cubic or third-power (TP) nonlinear energy sink (NES) has been proven to be an effective method for vibration suppression, owing the occurrence of targeted transfer (TET). However, TET is unable triggered by low initial input, and thus TP NES would get failed under low-amplitude vibration. To resolve this issue, a new type with fractional nonlinearity, e.g., one-third-power (OTP) p...

The travel source–sink phenomenon is a typical urban traffic anomaly that reflects the imbalanced dissipation and aggregation of human mobility activities. It useful for pertinently balancing facilities optimizing structures to accurately sense spatiotemporal ranges source–sinks, such as public transportation station optimization, sharing resource configurations, or stampede precautions among m...
