Turbomachinery and other jointed structures are carefully designed to optimise their
dynamic response and prevent unwanted high-cycle fatigue failures due to vibration …

Concerning the cost-and resource-saving maintenance of assembly products, it is vital to
detect any potential malfunctions, defects or structural damage at the earliest-possible stage …

In mechanical systems coupled with joints, accurate prediction of the joint characteristics is
extremely important. Despite years of research, a lot is yet to be learnt about the joints' …

In the context of dynamic substructuring applied to the automotive industry, a crucial factor
for determining a vehicle's noise properties is evaluating the transfer behaviour of rubber …

We present a novel method for updating the joint properties, including the rotational degrees
of freedom (DOFs), of finite element (FE) models of complex structures. Updating is based …

Hybrid modeling is an increasingly common procedure for predicting the structural dynamics
of complex products. System equivalent model mixing (SEMM), a dynamic substructuring …

In many systems of interest, most of the structure is well approximated as linear but some
parts must be treated as nonlinear to get accurate response predictions: significant …

Mechanical joints play a critical role in many engineering structures, but identifying their
characteristics can be challenging, particularly when the joint interface (coupling DoFs) …

The development process of mechanical systems involves the evaluation of its modes of
vibrations in the frequency range of interest. In general, a linear modal analysis is sufficient …

The dynamic properties of joints, or inter-component connections, are a principal source of
uncertainty when modelling complex built-up structures. In the present paper, we propose …
