Abstract: Modal synthesis methods have long been studied because the use of generalized coordinates makes it possible to reduce calculation costs. Our approach uses modes to describe each part of the ...

Abstract: In order to determine the steady-state response of random dynamical systems, the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) approach appears to be the most suitable, but its convergence is weak around the eigenfrequencies. Indeed, ...

Abstract: A method, called the Complex NonLinear Modal Analysis (CNLMA), is proposed for the calculation of the periodic solutions of nonlinear mechanical systems with continued nonlinearities. The equivalent ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the simulation of nonlinear vibration induced by friction in an aircraft braking system. Experimental tests reveal that in similar experimental conditions the mechanism can ...
