Abstract: The dynamics of a semi-infinite Euler–Bernoulli beam on unilateral elastic springs is investigated. The mechanical model is governed by a moving-boundary hyperbolic problem, which cannot be solved ...

Abstract: The competing solutions of a planar pendulum parametrically excited by the vertical motion of the pivot are investigated in terms of both attractor robustness and basin integrity. Two different ...

Abstract: Starting from three-dimensional (3D) continuum mechanics, a simple one-dimensional model aimed at analyzing the whole static behavior of nonhomogeneous curved beams is proposed. The kinematics is described by four ...

Abstract: The rotations of a parametric pendulum fitted onto a suitable floating support and forced to move vertically under the action of water waves have been studied on the basis of a dedicated ...

Abstract: In this work, we perform a systematic numerical investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of an inverted pendulum between lateral rebounding barriers. Three different families of considerably variable ...

Abstract: The nonlinear behavior and stability under static and dynamic loads of an inverted spatial pendulum with rotational springs in two perpendicular planes, called Augusti’s model, is analyzed in ...
