This work investigates the application of space–time fractional-order operators to the
simulation of linear elastic waves propagating in 1D periodic structures resting on a …

The lateral impact between elastic cylinders is studied using two dynamic models. We
propose an elementary example to justify the mechanical energy dissipation in a pure …

This paper investigates the steady-state response of a nonlinear system that incorporates
both a hysteretic element and frictional contact under harmonic excitation. While previous …

Inadequate management of large in-train forces transferred through coupler systems of a
railway train leads to running and structural failures of vehicles. Understanding these …

Automatic AAR coupling mechanisms are used worldwide for the inter-connection of rail
vehicles. Coupling failures, running instability, longitudinal jerks and other issues limit the …

The 1/3 subharmonic resonance response of Duffing oscillator with Coulomb dry friction
under foundation excitation is investigated, and the approximate analytical solution of the …

Energy dissipation occurs through Coulomb friction and is considered a conventional type of
mechanical damping mechanism in structures subjected to external loads. Structures that …

The article substantiates the principles for determining the fact of slipping and skidding of the
mine electric locomotive wheels without measuring the wheel slip speed relative to the rails …

This paper investigates the steady-state response of a nonlinear system that incorporates
both a hysteretic element and frictional contact under harmonic excitation. While previous …

Earlier literature used elasto-plastic model for numerical modeling of friction dampers.
However, the friction phenomenon is velocity dependent and elasto-plastic model is …
