Abstract: This short paper is concerned with a direct application of the techniques developed by the authors in two previous publications. It is considered as a “booster” to the existing alternating ...

Abstract: In this the second part, the attention will he focused on the practical implementation of the techniques proposed in Part 1. Firstly, the problem of generating a periodic excitation signal ...

Abstract: This is the first part of a paper on an innovative approach of studying general nonlinear structural dynamic systems. In this part, the theoretical background and some numerical simulations are ...

Abstract: The measurement and correct modelling of damping is of crucial importance in the prediction of the dynamical performance of systems for a wide range of engineering applications. In most cases, ...
