Abstract: An approximate analytical method is presented for determining the transmission and reflection of elastic waves at a frictional boundary. The method is applied to the case of plane harmonic shear ...

Abstract: A physical model for hardening hysteresis is presented. An approximate analytical technique is used to determine the steady-state response of a single-degree-of-freedom system and a multi-degree-of-freedom ...

Abstract: An approximate solution procedure is presented for a class of steady vibro-impact problems consisting of adjacent structures separated by a gap and subjected to harmonic base excitation. The ...

Abstract: An approximate method of analysis is presented for determining the reflection, refraction, and absorption of obliquely incident planar time-harmonic P or SV waves at a frictional interface between ...

Abstract: A method is given for representing analytically defined or data-based covariance kernels of arbitrary random processes in a compact form that results in simplified, analytical, random-vibration ...

Abstract: The reflection, refraction, and absorption of obliquely incident plane harmonic antiplane strain (SH) waves at a frictional interface between dissimilar semi-infinite elastic solids is investigated ...

Abstract: A self-starting multistage, time-domain procedure is presented for the identification of nonlinear, multi-degree-of-freedom systems undergoing free oscillations or subjected to arbitrary direct force ...

Abstract: A time-domain procedure for the identification of nonlinear vibrating structures, presented in a companion paper, is applied to a “calibration” problem which incorporates realistic test situations ...
