      Steven W. Shaw; Peter M. Schmitz; Alan G. Haddow (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)
      This paper describes an analytical and experimental investigation of the dynamic response and performance of a special type of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorber used for reducing torsional ...
    • A Reflection on Nonlinear Oscillations, Dynamical Systems, and Bifurcations of Vector Fields by J. Guckenheimer and P. J. Holmes 

      L. N. Virgin (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)
      In the autumn of 1983, I was just embarking on a Ph.D. in structural dynamics at the University College London (UCL) under the guidance of Professor Michael Thompson, FRS. I had spent the ...
    • Analysis of the Chatter Instability in a Nonlinear Model for Drilling 

      Sue Ann Campbell; Emily Stone (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)
      In this paper we present stability analysis of a non-linear model for chatter vibration in a drilling operation. The results build our previous work [, and , 2002, “Nonlinear Models of Chatter ...
