Abstract: A variable parameter incrementation method is proposed and then applied to the determination of parametric instability boundary of columns. Attention is particularly paid to the geometrically ...

Abstract: The simple amplitude-incremental triangular plate element derived in Part 1 of this paper is applied to treat the large-amplitude periodic vibrations of thin elastic plates with existence of ...

Abstract: The finite element method has been widely used for analyzing nonlinear problems, but it is surprising that so far only a few papers have been devoted to nonlinear periodic structural vibrations. ...

Abstract: An incremental harmonic balance method with multiple time scales is presented in this paper. As a general and systematic computer method, it is capable of treating aperiodic “steady-state” ...
