Abstract: A laser Doppler vibrometer measures the translational velocity at a point along the direction of incident light. It has been shown that rotational velocities can also be recovered when the laser scans continuously along a ...

Abstract: An iterative method is proposed for finding periodic orbits of strongly nonlinear oscillators. The method combines the strength of analytical approaches, where the candidate solution is assumed in the form of a Fourier ...

Abstract: Measurements are presented from a twobeam structure with several bolted interfaces in order to characterize the nonlinear damping introduced by the joints. The measurements (all at force levels below macroslip) reveal that ...
