Abstract: An equivalent alternative formulation of the usual Duncan Method of solution of a system of general viscous damping is discussed. For the solution of systems this alternative statement of the ...

Abstract: The paper presents a method which utilizes substructure normal modes to predict the vibration properties of a cantilever beam with a breathing transverse crack. The two segments of the cantilever ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the possibility of generating a time‐domain modal identification algorithm that does not need measurements of the input signals. Such a technique is useful when complete input data acquisition cannot ...
