In a standard design practice, it is often necessary to assemble engineered structures from
individually manufactured parts. Ideally, the assembled system should perform as if the …

Turbine bladed disks or blisks, which constitute critical components of most modern
turbomachinery, are known for their complex vibratory behavior. The nonlinear dynamics …

Bolted joints are prevalent in most assembled structures; however, predictive models for
their behavior do not exist. Calibrated models, such as the Iwan model, are able to predict …

Jointed interfaces are sources of the greatest amount of uncertainty in the dynamics of a
structural assembly. In practice, jointed connections introduce nonlinearity into a system …

Spacecraft, airplanes, automobiles, machines and civil structures are all constructed from
multiple parts joined by bolts, rivets or other fasteners and these joints lead to large …

This work refines a recently formalized methodology proposed by DJ Ewins consisting of ten
steps for model validation of nonlinear structures. This work details, through a series of …

连接结构作为工业装备的核心部件之一, 是装备制造领域着重攻关优化的关键基础部件. 当前,
因连接界面的非线性, 复杂性, 不确定性等引起的跨尺度和多物理场复杂力学行为机理不明 …

The objective of this research is to develop a numerical model of one widely used bolted
beam splice connection that dissipates energy through structural damping. The reference …

Broadband impact excitation in structural dynamics is a common technique used to detect
and characterize nonlinearities in mechanical systems since it excites many frequencies of a …

This work uses a method whereby weak nonlinearity in a substructure, as typically arises
due to microslip in bolted interfaces, can be captured and modeled on a mode-by-mode …
