Abstract: Numerous excitation sources for disk vibrations are present in optical drives. For increasing rotation speeds, airflow-housing-induced vibrations have become more and more important. Currently, ...

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: Numerical simulations are used to study the transient behavior of a four degree-of-freedom, rotational piecewise linear system. This study focuses on the impact between bodies in a system with ...
