A ball free to roll in a circular track acts as a Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) and delays the occurrence of galloping.

The proposed NES design is robust and works over a large parameter range.

The NES experiences three successive response modes with increasing flow speed.

The main NES parameters have a significant effect on its behaviour.
