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 attempts to explain the complicated behavior of oilwell drillstring motion when both torsional stick-slip and lateral whirl vibration are involved. It is demonstrated that the observed ...

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 ...

Abstract: A general description of the dynamics of a deformable body experiencing large displacements is presented. These displacements are resolved into displacements due to deformation and displacements ...
