In this study, a new method for type and parametric identification of a non-linear element in
an otherwise linear structure is introduced. This work is an extension of a previous study in …

Abstract Design of complex mechanical structures requires to predict nonlinearities that
affect the dynamic behavior considerably. However, finding the forced response of nonlinear …

This paper presents a nonlinear response of a planar repetitive space truss with polynomial-
nonlinear joints based on a multi-harmonic equivalent continuum beam model. The …

In stepped-sine testing of strongly nonlinear structures with the classical force-control
strategy, corrective force perturbations of a standard controller used to capture the reference …

This study presented a comprehensive reduced-order modeling and solution method for
multi-harmonic nonlinear frequency response analysis of large space truss structures with …

A method of calculating the receptances of a non-proportionally damped structure from the
undamped modal data and the damping matrix of the system is presented. The method …

27 dirmry differential equations of mot, ion. These equations can be obtained by using a
discretisation technique such as the Ritz-Galerkin m&hod, the Finite Element method or the …

Correlation and calibration using test data are natural ingredients in the process of
validating computational models. Model calibration for the important subclass of nonlinear …

Considering the operating point drift in the dynamic responses of locally nonlinear
structures, a new iterative method based on describing functions is introduced to solve for …

In practice, most mechanical systems show nonlinear characteristics within the operational
envelope. However, the nonlinearities are often caused by local phenomena and many …
