Abstract:
During 1984, New South Wales Department of Education conducted a survey of ethnic-specific needs of students of non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) in schools for specific purposes (SSPs), which are special education schools. This paper indicates the results and outcomes of that survey. The percentage of students of NESBs in responding schools was 15.4%. The distribution of languages other than English spoken in homes of NESB students in SSPs is similar to that of the general population. The issues seen to be of greatest importance for schools with NESB pupils were assistance in communicating with non-English parents, and a knowledge of and contact with ethnic welfare/support agencies. A literature search revealed little in the way of studies on language provision for students of NESB in SSPs in the USA, Canada, Britain or in Australia. Assessment for placement in special education has always posed a difficulty in regard to students whose dominant language is not English. A move towards the use of Adaptive Behaviour Scales is a possible change in assessment procedures. where the level of language development will constitute just one factor among a number of others. The commencement of English as a second language programme and a bilingual programme are seen as innovatory in this field of education.

Abstract:
PurposeThis paper explores the experiences of non-English-speaking background (NESB) skilled employees working in Australian workplaces, their perceptions of managers' actions and how a lack of employee involvement and participation (EIP) practices and performance appraisal (PA) is perceived regarding career progression.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory research project is based on 26 semi-structured interviews with skilled migrant NESB employees based in Australia. Social exchange theory (SET) and labour market segmentation theory (LMST) are applied to help explain macro- and micro-level influences on NESB employees and their relationships with their line managers and the workforce.FindingsParticipants perceived line managers to be highly communicative and approachable; however, they indicated how a lack of EIP in decision-making and in their PA affected career progression opportunities for NESB employees. While they were satisfied overall with their jobs, the research indicated a need for improved practices and support from the broader organisation in these two identified areas.Originality/valueThere is relatively little research on how the challenges of an increasingly diverse workforce are managed, particularly from NESB employees' perspective. Therefore, this research fills a gap concerning NESB employees' experience in Australian organisations.

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare differences between elderly patients from non-English-speaking backgrounds (NESB) and English-speaking backgrounds (ESB) admitted to an acute psychogeriatric unit. Method: Sociodemographic and clinical variables were collated from inpatient files for a 12-month period and analysed according to NESB and ESB status. The 1996 Australian Census data were used for comparison of catchment area representation of different ethnic groups. Results: With a few exceptions, admission rates for elderly patients from NESB reflected the representation of that ethnic group in the catchment area population figures. No significant differences were found between the two groups for mean age, length of stay and previous admissions to the unit. Patients from NESB were less likely to be admitted voluntarily and less likely to be diagnosed with affective disorder. These differences were more marked for males, who were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia. Conclusions: These findings suggest that further investigation is required into the accessibility of psychiatric hospitalisation for elderly patients from NESB. Under recognition of disorders such as depression and reluctance to accept necessary inpatient management are two possible factors that should concern mental health service providers for the ethnic elderly. A subsequent analysis will examine if differences also exist between elderly patients from NESB and ESB who receive community-based psychiatric treatment. Implications for mental health service provision for the elderly from NESB are discussed.

Abstract:
Australian universities are mindful of graduating students who are prepared for the workforce. A growing trend in organisational communication is the use of digital/electronic media to communicate with stakeholders, and many universities are now adopting pedagogy that simulates professional use of social media.International students who come from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) and are new to Australian university study can often struggle with understanding information that is delivered verbally, particularly when delivered under the traditional lecture/tutorial or didactic approach. The use of online communication in the curriculum can improve employability skills and heighten comprehension for NESB students.This paper examines results by NESB students mainly from Chinese universities studying through a collaborative articulated pathway program who have completed the core communication unit between 2010 and 2012. The majority of these students have come from limited English-speaking environments. The paper analyses their results and uses contemporary literature to form conclusions on cognitive capabilities for the NESB cohort when studying this introductory unit on-campus.The student results and the literature analysed demonstrates that NESB students perform better when comprehending and consolidating knowledge delivered through interactivity involving digital communication, primarily e-text-based content that simulates social media. It concludes that electronic communication based on social media model can heighten NESB student engagement and improve employability.

Abstract:
Objective: The main aim of this study was to compare levels of service use by English and non-English speaking background people. Method: A comparison of service use in 1991/1992 between clients of English speaking (ESB) and non English-speaking (NESB) background was undertaken using hospital inpatient statistics, community mental health centre contact data, interpreter usage figures, and the 1991 Australian census. Results: The main findings indicated: (a) longer median lengths of stay of NESB than ESB inpatients; (b) roughly equal involuntary hospitalisation rates between ESB and NESB residents, but significantly lower rates of voluntary hospitalisation for NESB residents; (c) NESB face-to-face clinic contacts significantly shorter (by between five to ten minutes) than ESB; and (d) variable and generally low use of interpreters. No significant associations between ethnicity, legal status and gender were found. There were limitations in the available data and conclusions could be drawn only with caution. Conclusions: Recommendations include better routine collection of ethnically relevant information, and measures designed to improve the acceptability and accessibility of inpatient services.

Abstract:
17043 Background: Ethnicity may influence both the incidence and prognosis of breast cancer. We have conducted an analysis to determine if women from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) living in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, present with later stage breast cancer compared to women from English speaking backgrounds (ESB); and to determine whether there is an impact on their survival. Methods: Data from the NSW Cancer Registry (1980 to 2004) was used to identify women with their first presentation of breast cancer. Stage of breast cancer was classified as early (insitu or localized) versus late (regional nodal or distant metastatic spread) according to registry definitions. Country of birth was used as a surrogate for language status. Stage at diagnosis was compared between ESB versus NESB women. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds of late stage disease and Cox regression to determine survival outcomes Results: 60,676 of 75,583 cases were considered suitable for analysis. Of these 16.64% were NESB. Accounting for potential confounding variables, NESB women were more likely to have late stage disease than ESB women (OR= 1.12; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.17). Analysis by geographical region of birth revealed women born in Middle Eastern region were most likely to have late stage disease at presentation (OR 1.41; 95% CI, 1.25 to 1.60). In multivariable analysis of all-cause mortality NESB women had a superior overall survival (HR 0.90; 95% CI 0.87 to 0.94) compared to ESB women, however, there was no difference in breast cancer specific survival between these groups by univariate analysis (logrank p=0.46). Conclusions: In New South Wales, Australia, NESB women have a delayed presentation with breast cancer as indicted by more advanced stage. However, stage-adjusted, breast cancer specific survival in NESB women is similar to the ESB women. Further studies are required to determine the reasons for delayed detection for NESB women. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:
Admission rates for ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and the use of invasive cardiovascular procedures, separation mode and length of stay (LOS) were compared between Australians from non-English speaking background (NESB; n=8627) and English speaking background (ESB; n=13162) aged 20 years and over admitted to Victorian urban public hospitals. The study covered the period from 1993 to 1998. It was found that, compared with their ESB counterparts, the incidence of admission for acute myocardial infarction was significantly higher for NESB men and women before and after controlling for confounding factors. The age-adjusted ratios for NESB women compared with their ESB counterparts ranged from 1.23 to 1.89 for cardiac catheterisation, from 0.23 to 0.27 for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and from 1.04 to 1.80 for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Procedure rates were comparable in men for cardiac catheterisation and CABG but higher for PTA rates in NESB men (OR: 1.29, 95%CI: 1.11–1.50) than their ESB counterparts. Both NESB men (β=0.04, 95%CI:0.01–0.07) and women (β=0.03, 95%CI: 0.02–0.08) experienced significantly longer hospital stays than their ESB counterparts. These findings indicate there may be systematic differences in patients' treatment and service utilisation in Victorian public hospitals. The extent to which physicians' bias and patients' choice could explain these differences requires further investigation.

Abstract:
Australia has an inherent desire to afford migrants with a wide range of opportunities, so it naturally follows that government online services should also be available to migrants with a non-English speaking background (NESB). Despite the admirable efforts of governments and local agencies in Australia to provide such services, the reality is that many NESB migrants are not taking advantage of these available services. This case study investigates possible reasons for this issue, as well as suggestions for improvement. In addition, this study, involving interviews with 30 selected Arab residents, identifies language and low computer skills as among the primary reasons why many NESB migrants are discouraged from using government online services in Australia. The results of this case study, in combination with the extensive literature on the topic, show that Australia should implement ICT-based or e-government policies, programs, and services that more accurately reflect migrant cultures and languages so that migrant integration can be more fully accomplished. Specifically, this article presents a NESB model that adopts the value of user-centricity or a more individual-focused approach to government online services in Australia.

Abstract:
Purpose International students, who have a non-English speaking background (NESB), encounter many difficulties, in comparison to their local fellows of an English-speaking country. Literature demonstrates that leveraging various relational perspectives in a multicultural teaching environment has favourable implications to manage the NESB international students’ academic experience. Based on the observation and introspection approaches and a relevant literature review in relationship management, an ethnographic analysis is conducted to realise how such relational perspectives can be nurtured, in a way that the NESB international students expect and accept in a foreign country. Design/methodology/approach A literature review in relationship management and an ethnographic analysis based on observation and introspection methods was conducted. Findings Findings show that universities could assist the NESB international students by designing, delivering and monitoring innovative teaching and learning approaches and taking care of the associated academic and non-academic issues of the students, while leveraging the social, psychological and academic relational perspective(s). Originality/value Leveraging relational perspectives offers global implications. The implications of relational perspectives can be used from any setting. However, the relational appeal should be focused on the presented circumstances of a targeted setting only (e.g. the issues of a particular multicultural classroom).

Abstract:
This paper reports the construction and validation of a measure of social self-efficacy in a range of social interaction situations commonly experienced by tertiary students, including situations posing special concern to recent arrivals to the Australian educational setting. Participants in the first study were 228 undergraduate students. Among these, 91 were Australia-born with English-speaking-background parents (Anglo-Australians), 90 were also Australia-born but had parents from a non-English-speaking-background (NESB Australia-born), and 47 were overseas-born with NESB parents (NESB immigrants). Item and factor analyses yielded a 20-item, 4-factors Social Self-Efficacy Scale for Students (SSESS). The four factors were Absence of Social Difficulties, Social Confidence, Sharing Interests, and Friendship Initiatives. Evidence of the scale's satisfactory internal consistency reliability, and its concurrent and construct validity is presented. Indication of satisfactory test-retest reliability was obtained from a second sample of 16 university students. Applications and directions for further research are discussed.

Abstract:
The increasing number of non-English speaking background (NESB) students (from both Australia and overseas) has led to concerns about the appropriateness of English as a Second Language (ESL) courses at upper secondary level as a preparation for tertiary study. These concerns have been voiced at both upper secondary and tertiary levels. It appears that NESB students' English language levels at Year 12 are a critical factor in determining whether or not they will succeed at tertiary study. On the other hand, they at times achieve high levels of competence in mainstream subject areas which are not reflected in their ESL results. Several other factors may also affect NESB students' tertiary success rates e.g. language and cultural background, and length of time in Australia. In addition, the responses of tertiary institutions to such students and their needs may be of importance. This study surveys the backgrounds and success rates of NESB students from an ACT secondary college who moved into tertiary study programs. It investigates their results in their Year 12 Certificates and traces them through three years of tertiary study. In doing so, the study identifies certain factors which appear to impact upon the students' success rates. Results obtained may prove beneficial to ESL service providers at upper secondary level. Furthermore, tertiary institutions may find such an analysis helpful in assisting them to develop appropriate approaches to meet the needs of this particular group of students.

Abstract:
Reading skills are essential for all students for their successful advancement through school and on into adult life. With limited English, many Non English Speaking Background (NESB) students are under-achieving at school due to their lack of reading ability in English. This research investigates a skills-based program with an emphasis on decoding (often referred to as a bottom-up theoretical perspective) compared to a program emphasising the development of comprehension strategies, where higher level thinking is required (top-down perspective). Using a case study approach with one NESB student, it appeared that a skills-based approach was more successful and preferred by the student.

Abstract:
Australia is a multicultural country and as such, the Australian workforce should be reflecting that diversity. Logically, the teaching profession is no different from any other sub-group of the working populace. Policy documents that inform the profession of teaching explicitly refer to the necessity for nurturing and developing those who are new to the profession. A key part of the development and growth of newcomers to the teaching profession involves the exchange of ideas and knowledge between colleagues. Using the sociocultural theoretical framework of communities of practice, this study seeks to understand the positioning of new members of the teaching profession with respect to their communities of practice. The particular group of newcomers to the profession investigated are those who have a non-English speaking background and who have recently undergone teacher preparation courses in the state of Queensland. This study focuses on the accounts of interactions of a group of beginning or novice teachers who are from a non-English speaking background with other members of their particular communities of teaching practice. The abductive research strategy was used in this qualitative study. Data were generated through interviews, electronic diary recordings, face-to-face focus group and virtual focus group sessions. The participants had all completed at least two practicum experiences in schools or were in their first or second years of teaching at the time of data collection. The data generated consisted of the accounts of the participants’ experiences in their communities of teaching practice. These data were interrogated through the application of critical discourse analysis and positioning theory. Analysis of emergent small stories used by the participants in the telling of their accounts was supported by narrative analytic tools from sociolinguists such as Ochs and Capps (2001). The interactions of the participant teachers with established members of their communities of practice were shown to be influenced by the presence of an element of worldliness, defined as personal overseas experience through travel or migration, in the colleague teachers. Discourses of Race and Care were used by participants in their accounts. The study findings revealed that in some communities of practice, participants were positioned or had taken up positions at the edge of that community. Where a discourse of Care occurred, particularly when linked to worldliness, the study participants took up positions as legitimate peripheral participants of that community of practice The findings generated a model that can be implemented in any organisation to assist in the movement of newcomers to legitimate peripheral participants of their communities of practice and so allow continuation on their trajectories through that community (Lave & Wenger, 1991).

Abstract:
In Australia, communities who speak minority languages are referred to as ‘NESB’ (non-English speaking background) or CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse). In the 1980s Australian immigration experienced a sharp turn in preference towards skilled migrants. Among those skilled migrants, a huge number of intakes consisted of professionals from non-English speaking backgrounds (Colic-Peisker, 2009). Like other skilled professionals, more teachers began arriving from non-English speaking countries, and by 1992-93 they comprised 87% of teacher arrivals (Inglis & Philps, 1995). NESB teachers are an important community, especially in a culturally diverse country such as Australia where the workforce should also be reflecting that diversity. Inclusion of NESB teachers in the Australian workforce is particularly important in mathematics and science areas which are experiencing a shortage of teachers from the local market. I am a NESB high school science teacher who migrated to Australia from Pakistan in early 2006 and experienced many barriers to resuming and continuing teaching in the new country. Based in large part on my personal experiences, in this study I investigate problems faced by NESB teachers in Australian schools that have hindered them from being successful and integrating into the Australian education system. I also explore the strengths and behaviours of NESB teachers who have been successful in their journey, with the aim of seeking solutions and making recommendations for achieving better integration. For this research, I combine the paradigms of interpretivism, criticalism and post-modernism. A powerful hybrid epistemology emerges from this integration that enables me to explore key problems experienced by NESB teachers and to seek solutions. An auto-ethnographic writing methodology frames the inquiry, and critical reflections, focused interviews and narratives provide me with the necessary research tools. The quality of the research is governed by the qualitative criteria of trustworthiness, authenticity, emergence, pedagogical thoughtfulness, critical reflexivity and verisimilitude. Due consideration is given to ethical issues to protect everyone associated with this study, including myself. In the thesis, I present the rich contexts of my own learning and teaching journey in the largely collectivist society of Pakistan in which I evolved as a teacher. Then, I present a clear comparison with my teaching experiences as an NESB teacher in the largely individualistic society of Australia, identifying the major obstacles to resuming my teaching practice. Voices of other NESB teachers in similar situations highlight that lack of information, language difficulties, lack of cultural understanding, covert racism, lack of permanent employment, little collegial support and personal efficacy are major obstacles for NESB teachers. Next, from the perspective of Katz’s (1972) developmental stages of teaching, I present narrative accounts of the lived experiences of NESB teachers who appear to have successfully integrated into the Australian education system. I explore the strengths that enabled them to survive and thrive as ‘culturally different others’ in markedly different classroom/school environments. The key strengths I uncover are: good English language skills (not accent), existing network to help initiate entry into the teaching profession, good classroom management skills, better communication with colleagues and parents, collegial support, constant learning/training, excellent interpersonal skills, and workplace resilience. Next, I discuss the role of ‘cultural transition’ in NESB teachers’ success, in particular, and in migrants’ lives, in general. From my own perspective, at first, I experienced a sense of loss, dislocation, alienation and isolation, which led to a process of acculturation (Bhugra, 2004). Then, slowly and gradually, I started moving from acculturation to integration. It appears to be important that when individuals attempt to move from a collectivistic society to an individualistic society they face a significant challenge to achieving cultural transition. The transition can be divided into stages of honeymoon, cultural shock, recovery and adaptation. Some NESB individuals seem to be more capable than others at reaching the adaptation stage, which significantly contributes to success in their personal and professional lives in the new culture. I reveal how I came to understand that cultural integration, which is very different to cultural assimilation, is critical for the success of NESB teachers. It is a process of cultural exchange in which one group assumes the beliefs, practices and rituals of another group without sacrificing the characteristics of its own culture. I explore how extended exposure in the classroom, developing cultural intelligence and the courage to be assertive, and length of stay in Australia can positively increase chances of integration. Our native colleagues and the second generation of migrants can be of immense help to us (i.e., first-generation migrants) in this process. Cultural integration also appears to be closely linked to an individual’s sense of cultural identity, which is better understood as fluid rather than static. This understanding leads me to realise that, by embracing the concept of fluid identity, the process of cultural integration can become far less demanding. I conclude that, as a result of this auto-ethnographic inquiry, I have achieved growth in my personal and professional competencies. Both my personal reflections and my participants’ experiences helped me to develop professional skills to survive and thrive. While exploring the issue of cultural transition I grew as a migrant in an unfamiliar land. I didn’t just learn a new set of values; I also learned how to reconcile them with my older set of values, thereby paving the way to my own cultural integration. This study proved to be a medium of therapeutic catharsis that helped me to heal from previously unidentified pain, setting me free from possible intergenerational trauma. I also benefitted by growing as a ‘writer’; I learned the art of looking in the mirror and describing what I see and reflecting on how it can help to assess myself and my way of thinking and functioning. The findings of this study have the potential to help my fellow NESB teachers to grow in their personal, professional and cultural lives, leading the Australian education system towards better retention of NESB teachers, thereby avoiding essential skill wastage.

Abstract:
This transdisciplinary study examines the role of a participatory video production workshop (PVPW) in empowering its immigrant women participants in Brisbane, Australia. Media studies scholars have argued that media literacy education (critical awareness) and hands-on media production (everyday creativity) can increase the confidence and self-efficacy of individuals, resulting in them being more ‘active citizens’. Age, language and gender are three clear potential barriers to individuals participating in the public sphere. Immigrants from culturally diverse, non-English speaking backgrounds—specifically adult immigrant women from these groups—are at a greater risk of being marginalised due to a lack of knowledge and skills that are necessary to live in today’s participatory culture. Thus, the central question this study is designed to answer is: Can a PVPW assist participants in overcoming the double stigma of gender and ethnicity they experience in their host society? The PVPW, which this study is based on that is a qualitative participatory research method, mainly based on participatory video method. The PVPW was deliberately designed to deliver knowledge (media literacy) and skills (video production) in a short period of four training sessions. The PVPW was conducted with six participants from the targeted groups in June–July 2014, in four formal training sessions and four editing sessions. The participants were interviewed at two stages: the start of the PVPW, and four weeks after completing their video production. Analysis of the data, which was gathered from interviews, video recorded sessions, a questionnaire and the researcher’s reflective diary, shows a strong affiliation between the hands-on media literacy training and self-efficacy and confidence. Thus, this study argues that everyday creativity helps individuals be more active participants in the public sphere by shifting the sense of agency to those involved and giving them personal empowerment.

Abstract:
The study investigates the nature and extent of provision of English as a Second Language (ESL) programs and services for students of non-English speaking background (NESB) in government school systems in the six Australian states and two territories and the interrelationship of state/territorial education authority provision and levels of commonwealth funding. The study further examines perceptions of state/territorial service providers of where the onus of responsibility for ESL provision lies. The study is limited to examination of ESL provision at the school level in government education systems only and does not address services for adult NESB learners or provision in the non-government sector. The study is set in the context of the impact of commonwealth immigration policies on the nature of Australia's multicultural society and on the evolution of provision of appropriate programs and services for NESB students in Australian government schools. The major findings to emerge from this study which bear on the issues identified in the literature and which are of significance for the future of ESL service delivery are: · the existence of overall commonality of definition of NESB students and identification of such students for ESL programs on the basis of need, but a degree of variation in procedures used by state and territorial systems which falls short of standard practice and renders comparative measurement of perceived shortfalls in provision difficult; · variation in definition of intensive programs which renders comparison of provision difficult; · strong commonality in overall provision of both programs and services across all schooling sectors, with limited local variation in service delivery; an increasing commitment in all systems to the mainstreaming of ESL provision through language across the curriculum programs aimed at complementing specialist ESL provision by enabling mainstream teachers to accept responsibility for the language needs of NESB learners; · variation in degrees of dependence on commonwealth funding for provision of programs and services ranging from almost total dependence on commonwealth funding in two systems to significant local education authority provision in four systems; · commonality of opinion among local service providers of the commonwealth's responsibility for some degree of funding of ESL provision, but variations in perceptions of the extent of the commonwealth's responsibility in this area; · commonality of experience of initial identification of need at the local level, but dependence on commonwealth intervention to approach adequate provision to meet identified need; · a degree of tension between on the one hand, recognition of individual differences among systems and the concomitant need, or desire, for state/territorial autonomy in service delivery; and on the other hand, recognition of commonality of purpose and provision and the concomitant need for some standardisation of practice in the interests of efficiency and accountability of service delivery. The study concludes with an examination of the implications of these findings for policy for future ESL service delivery.

Abstract:
Limited English proficiency (LEP) amongst non-English-speaking background (NESB) employees is a major concern for the Government, employers and unions in Australia. Due to their low levels of English proficiency, NESB employees are often unable to carry out effectively the required workplace tasks. In the current climate of rapid change in workplaces, as a result of Award Restructuring, NESB employees may also lack the communication skills necessary to undertake skill-based training and, therefore, be further disadvantaged. In light of these concerns, this study investigated the English learning needs of a group of NESB non-academic staff at the University of Canberra (UC). It established that there was a gap between their present levels of English proficiency and the levels required in their current positions. As a result, these employees are unable to engage effectively in all communication tasks required in the workplace. Following a detailed analysis of the current literature on the provision of workplace English training it is recommended that an English in the Workplace (EWP) program be provided at the UC for NESB non-academic employees. Specific recommendations are made regarding the design and implementation of the learning program.

Abstract:
Australia is home for immigrants from more than a hundred countries and in total almost a quarter of all Australians are overseas-born. A high proportion of immigrants in a society raises question about socioeconomic equality. The purpose of the thesis is to study the differences in socioeconomic attainments between immigrants and native-born workers. Using data collected from the Issues in Multicultural Australia Survey, conducted in 1988, and the ABS Census of Population and Housing, 1986 and 1991, the study finds that human capital variables such as education, language proficiency and experience largely explain the socioeconomic attainments of Australian-born workers. Among immigrant workers, however, these human capital variables have little or no effect on status attainments. The data also show that the lower socioeconomic status of immigrants may not be due only to the lower investment in human capital. Even second generation NESB immigrants are unable to obtain comparable rewards compared to longer established Australians with similar education and skills. The study indicates that there may be barriers in the Australian labour market operating against NESB immigrants. The study concludes that there are birthplace variations in workers??? socioeconomic attainments. When employers can hire Australian-born workers from a large pool of unemployed workers, immigrant workers will be excluded from employment. Immigrant workers will only be hired if the rewards for these workers are lower compared to Australian-born workers. In situations of high unemployment, especially, immigrant workers will find it difficult to be treated equally in the labour market.

Abstract:
“What does it mean, to make a genuine generalization, to create an objective concrete abstraction of a phenomenon?”—Evald Ilyenkov. As Guy Debord writes in his Society of the Spectacle, “the lack of general historical life also means that individual life as yet has no history.” These poems are my process of coming to understand history, and many of them are critiques of histories per se. If, as Frank O’Hara writes, “these anxieties remain erect,” they also shape the poems that I have written here. I want to be in dialogue with the spectacle that shapes postmodernism. I want to live in communication with the memories of events that have shaped my speech over the years. The title is a struggle to regain a home while not forgetting the displacement of the proverbial poet, a poet to whom I am forever indebted and probably likely to become.

Abstract:
Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) are promising devices for achieving passive vibration mitigation. Unlike traditional tuned mass dampers (TMDs), NESs, characterized by nonlinear stiffness properties, are not tuned to specific frequencies and absorb energy over a wider range of frequencies. NES efficiency is achieved through time-limited resonances, leading to the capture and dissipation of energy. However, the efficiency with which a NES dissipates energy is highly dependent on design parameters and loading conditions. In fact, it has been shown that a NES can exhibit a near-discontinuous efficiency. Thus, NES optimal design must account for uncertainty. The premise of the stochastic optimization method proposed is the segregation of efficiency regions separated by discontinuities in potentially high dimensional space. Clustering, support vector machine classification, and dedicated adaptive sampling constitute the basic techniques for maximizing the expected value of NES efficiency. Previous works depended solely on the ratio of energy dissipated by the NES for clustering. This work also includes information about the type of m:p resonances present. Three examples of optimization for the maximization of the expected value of efficiency for NESs subjected to transient loading are presented. The optimization accounts for both design variables with uncertainty and aleatory variables to characterize loading.

Abstract:
Abstract Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) are strongly nonlinear mechanical oscillators that are weakly coupled to a mechanical primary system. Through targeted energy transfer (TET), vibration energy is irreversibly transferred from the primary system to the NES, making the NES an attractive passive vibration control device. Furthermore, because of the NES’ strong nonlinearity, the NES has a variable natural frequency, unlike linear vibration control devices. This enables a self-tuning property where the NES adapts to the primary system’s vibration frequency, making the NES a broadband vibration absorber. This self-tuning extends to multi-frequency vibrations through resonance capture cascade (RCC), where the NES tunes itself to the different frequencies in sequential order. Recently, some works have discussed the piezoelectric NES, a nonlinear electrical circuit that interfaces with a mechanical system through a piezoelectric transducer. This paper will show for the first time that by using an electromagnetic transducer instead of a piezoelectrical transducer, an electromagnetic NES is obtained. Furthermore, this work will show that dynamics of mechanical, piezoelectric and electromagnetic NESs can be generalized under a universal NES in a slow flow expression and that resonance capture cascade occurs for all the NES types. The performance of the NES configurations are compared and their physical components are discussed.

Abstract:
Targeted energy transfer is of significant concern in the nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) used for shock (blasts, earthquakes) mitigation in small and large scale dynamic structures which saves human and equipment. The NES is a light-weighted device (<10% of the whole structure mass) which passively absorbs and rapidly dissipates a considerable portion of the initial shock energy induced to the linear dynamic structure. The proposed new design is based on utilizing the permanent magnets that generate a nonlinear repulsive magnetic force which is nearly equivalent to the required stiffness-based NES force. Using magnets instead of stiffness-based elastic materials yields a flexible and compact design of comparable efficiency with the stiffness-based existing NESs. This proposed design is expected to have wide range of applications for either small systems (Aircraft wings) or large scale dynamic structures (large scale buildings or towers). Hence, symmetric and asymmetric designs of magnet-based NESs are considered here to achieve the aimed optimum performance for shock mitigation. The results of the numerical simulation of the symmetric magnet-based NES are found to be comparable to the stiffness-based NES. However the asymmetric magnet-based design has shown better performance than the stiffness-based NES which is promising for the real life applications.

Abstract:
Rotational nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) have been proposed to mitigate the response of underlying primary structures subjected to shock loading. This type of NES, which is composed of a passive mass that is free to rotate, has the potential to be easier to realize and more compact than other types of NESs. Like other types of NESs, these devices engage in targeted energy transfer, which allows for the broadband transfer of energy from the primary structure to the NES where it can be rapidly dissipated. Additionally, these devices can couple the dynamics of the primary structure and facilitate the transfer of energy from lower modes to higher modes, where it can be dissipated at a faster rate. This paper experimentally investigates the performance of this type of NES by using the results from tests of a rotational NES attached to a small-scale two-story structure. For these experiments, a shock load is provided to the primary structure using a shake-table-produced impulse-like ground motion. Additionally, by varying the amplitude of the input ground motion, the energy dependency of the performance of these devices can be investigated. The results of these experiments show that this type of NES can attenuate the response of a structure by responding in a highly effective rotational mode.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NES) have gained popularity as passive vibration palliatives because have no preferred natural frequency and can resonate with any mode of the primary structure to which they are attached. Unfortunately, NESs are energy-dependent devices, characterized by energy thresholds where optimal NES design regions can be very close to low effective ones. It is then frequent that even negligible changes in the level of the exciting energy can significantly reduce the performance of previously tuned NES designs. Preliminary studies have shown that NES sensitivity to energy variations can be reduced by adding negative linear stiffness or bistable characteristics. In this work, the robustness of a tuned cubic NES is improved by adding an asymmetric bilinear element. This proposed modified NES is composed by a common cubic NES and a non-constant bilinear stiffness which includes a rope and two linear springs. In this numerical study, the vibration reduction performance of a cubic NESs and a Bilinear NES (BNES) is compared when the absorbers are attached to a three-story shear building structure. The building structure is excited using numerically generated seismic excitations characterized by different energy intensities while the vibration reduction performance of both absorbers are quantified using a specific index.

Abstract:
Abstract Nonlinear Energy Sinks (NES) are passive vibration absorbers composed of a small inertia and a smooth nonlinear stiffness with linear viscous damping. The main advantage of a NES is its lack of preferential natural frequency, then NESs can resonate over a wide range of frequencies and with any mode of the primary structure to which they are connected. These kind of absorbers however, are energy-dependent devices limited by energy thresholds where optimal design regions can be very close to low effective ones. It is then frequent that changes in the exciting energy levels can significantly reduce the performance of previously tuned NESs. The NES energy sensibility, limit its capabilities to control vibrations in structures subject to seismic induced excitations. Preliminary studies have shown that this sensitivity can be reduced by properly tuning the NES damping but no formal procedure exist. In this work we present a numerical methodology to tune the NES parameters by defining an index that quantifies the effect that NES damping has on the absorber robustness. A three-story shear building model subject to random seismic ground excitation is used to introduce the concepts and the methodology.

Both have been proven to be efficient, shown high energy dissipation and have been tested experimentally. A novel type of NES that combines the two principles of nonlinear TET, rotating inertial coupling and vibro-impact, is numerically investigated on a 2 degree of freedom physical system. Two configurations of the new promising NES are considered via changing the location of the impacts. The optimized parameters of both configurations proved that high amounts of energy can be transferred from the primary system to the new promising type of NESs passively and rapidly.

This paper presents an optimal design for a system comprising multiple nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) and piezoelectric-based vibration energy harvesters attached to a free–free beam under shock excitation. The energy harvesters are used for scavenging vibration energy dissipated by the NESs. Grounded and ungrounded configurations are examined, and the systems parameters are optimized globally to maximize the dissipated energy by the NESs. The performance of the system was optimized using a dynamic optimization approach. Compared to the system with only one NES, using multiple NESs resulted in a more effective realization of nonlinear energy pumping particularly in the ungrounded configuration. Having multiple piezoelectic elements also increased the harvested energy in the grounded configuration relative to the system with only one piezoelectric element.
