This survey paper contains a review of the past and recent developments in system
identification of nonlinear dynamical structures. The objective is to present some of the …

A study of the nonlinear vibrations of metallic cantilever beams and plates subjected to
transverse harmonic excitations is presented. Both experimental and theoretical results are …

This article presents a theoretical, numerical and experimental study of resonant structures
undergoing very large amplitude vibrations. The purpose of this work is to validate a model …

This monograph is devoted to construction of novel theoretical approaches of modeling non-
homogeneous structural members as well as to development of new and economically …

Abstract Analysis of the steady-state response of a polyurethane foam and masssystem to
harmonic excitation is presented. The foam's uni-directionaldynamic behavior is modeled by …

This study identifies non-homogeneous stiffnesses in a non-destructive manner from
simulated noisy measurements of a structural response. The finite element method serves …

The parametric system identification of macroscale resonators operating in a nonlinear
response regime can be a challenging research problem, but at the micro-and nanoscales …

We obtain improved approximate fully analytical steady state solutions for the ordinary
differential equation of the forced and damped anharmonic oscillator with quadratic and …

In this paper, we develop a novel experimental apparatus, referred to as the resonant
frequency device, and establish methodology to measure the fatigue properties of thin solid …

Improvised explosive devices are often made to resemble objects that are a natural part of
the environment. It is hypothesized that by understanding the mechanical behavior of the …
