A dynamic model is formulated by coupling the composite panel with a modified Bouc–Wen hysteresis representation and employing the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), based on Hamilton’s principle. Using the Galerkin truncation method (GTM), the model is converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The dynamic response to axial harmonic excitations is analyzed, emphasizing the vibration reduction provided by the embedded NiTi–ST ropes. Finite element analysis (FEA) validates the model by comparing natural frequencies and force responses with and without ropes. A newly developed experimental apparatus demonstrates that NiTi–ST cables provide outstanding vibration damping while barely affecting the system’s inherent frequency. The N3a configuration of NiTi–ST ropes demonstrates optimal vibration reduction, influenced by excitation frequency, amplitude, length-to-width ratio, and composite layering. ## Keywords - Composite number - Vibration - Structural engineering - Nonlinear system - Materials science - Composite material - Engineering - Acoustics - Physics - Quantum mechanics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
