In this work, the use of a nonlinear absorber for the reflection of travelling waves in a slender
bar is investigated. The absorber is a mass spring system attached to an infinite bar. The …

This article proposes to determine and identify the physical contributions that drive the
internal resonance between the bending and torsion modes of a blade. The blade is …

In this paper, we develop two wave-based approaches for predicting the nonlinear periodic
response of jointed elastic bars. First, we present a nonlinear wave-based vibration …

This paper presents an Acoustic Emission characterisation of the damage behaviour of
asphalt concrete subjected to bending fatigue loading. An experimental campaign is carried …

A wave approach is used to study the nonlinear vibrations of a beam with an attached mass
acting as a nonlinear energy sink (NES). Non-ideal boundary supports are considered. The …

The reflection of time-harmonic waves in a waveguide with a nonlinear boundary stiffness is
considered with applications to rods and beams. Incident waves at frequencies that are …

This work presents analytical solutions for bending deformation and stress distributions in
functionally graded beams with arbitrarily and continuously variable thicknesses and resting …

Purpose This paper studies how a nearfield incident wave affects reflection coefficients for
an Euler–Bernoulli beam attached to a cubic nonlinear boundary stiffness. Methods A …

In the structural design of mechanical products, natural frequencies must be controlled to
reduce noise and vibration. In particular, the stiffness of the joints which assemble the …

In this paper we develop two new approaches for directly assessing stability of nonlinear
wave-based solutions, with application to jointed elastic bars. In the first stability approach …
