Abstract: A procedure based on the theory of generalized functions is applied to the calculation of impulse response (Green's) functions of a structural network with rigid body motion. The system considered may be viewed as ...

Abstract: The motion of oscillators governed by the standard equations for the aerodynamic galloping of square prisms is studied for two cases: a harmonically forced, single elastically mounted bar immersed in a uniform flow, and ...

Abstract: Records are presented of typical measured motions of a modified forced Stoker column, including periodic motion around a stable fixed point of the unforced column; periodic snap‐through motion around the unstable fixed ...
