Abstract: A practical application of hybrid FRF-coupling (Frequency Response Function) in the development of a passenger car is presented. First, a short review is given about FRF-coupling in general. ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of the self-excited vibrations of a journal carried in a cylindrical fluid film bearing. Using linear stability theory, the values of the system parameters at the point ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the long term behavior of periodically excited mechanical systems consisting of linear components and local nonlinearities. The number of degrees of freedom of the linear ...
