Inerter is a new and effective way to provide an equivalent mass effect to enhance the vibration suppression efficiency while reduce the overall mass of vibration dampers. This study investigates the performance of a novel inerter-enhanced nonlinear energy sink for simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting. The effects of the position of the inerter and other key parameters, including the inertance, secondary-to-primary mass ratio, electromechanical coupling strength, etc., on the performance of the proposed configurations are examined by numerical analysis. The intended configurations are shown to be effective for both broadband vibration control and energy harvesting.
