Abstract

Vibration control in cantilever systems is a critical challenge in various engineering applications, where unwanted vibrations can lead to structural fatigue, reduced performance, and potential failure. This study investigates the effects of integrating biomechanical and impact-responsive metamaterials into cantilever systems to mitigate vibration transmission. The metamaterials, characterized by their adaptive stiffness and energy-absorbing properties, are strategically embedded in key structural components such as the arms, joints, and base. Through experimental analysis, this work assesses the reduction in vibration amplitude, shifts in natural frequency, enhanced damping capacity, energy absorption during impact, and strain reduction at critical points. The results show that the metamaterial-enhanced system achieves significant reductions in vibration amplitude, up to 40%, and increases in natural frequency by over 30%, minimizing the risk of resonance. Additionally, the damping ratio is improved by as much as 53%, while the energy absorption during impact is increased by up to 26%. Strain reduction at critical points reaches 24%, contributing to improved mechanical resilience. These findings demonstrate the potential of biomechanical and impact-responsive metamaterials in enhancing the dynamic performance of cantilever systems, offering a new approach to vibration mitigation in engineering applications.
