Abstract: This work refines a recently formalized methodology proposed by D.J. Ewins consisting of ten steps for model validation of nonlinear structures. This work details, through a series of experimental studies, that many standard ...

Abstract: The dynamics of structures with joints commonly show nonlinearity in their responses. This nonlinear behavior can arise from the local dynamics of the contact interfaces. The nonlinear mechanisms at an interface are ...

Abstract: Abstract. The ARIAS project involved the development of novel seal flutter prediction approaches and their full validation against data generated with a state-of-the-art test facility to improve understanding of this ...
