Crossties and cable networks are used on cable-stayed bridges to mitigate wind-induced stay vibration. A nonlinear free-vibration analysis of a cable network with random oscillation amplitudes is presented in this study. Specifically, a nonlinear restoring-force spring model is introduced at the crosstie to simulate in-plane network free vibration at large amplitudes. The current constitutive m...

Nonlinear effects in vibration responses are investigated for the undamaged composite plate and the composite plate with a delamination. The analysis is focused on higher harmonic generation in vibration responses for various excitation amplitude levels. This effect is investigated using the triple correlation technique. The dynamics of composite plate was modelled using two-dimensional finite ...

The aim of this paper is firstly to address the consequences of the nonlinear interactions between higher order modes and the first order mode of a flexible cantilever beam. The tested cantilever beam exhibited numerous nonlinear phenomena that are commonly observed in many flexible structures. The experimental results have shown that active control of the nonlinear vibration in a flexible stru...

This paper describes vibration analysis using the finite element method for a small earphone, especially for the diaphragm shape with a low-rigidity. The viscoelastic diaphragm is supported by multiple nonlinear concentrated springs with linear hysteresis damping. The restoring forces of the nonlinear springs have cubic nonlinearity.

Abstract   In vibratory systems, linear and nonlinear vibration absorbers can be used to suppress the primary and super-harmonic resonance responses. In this paper, the behavior of a nonlinear system with a nonlinear absorber, under the primary and super-harmonic resonances is investigated. The stiffnesses of the main system and the absorber are cubically nonlinear and the dampers are linear. M...

Random vibration analysis aims to estimate the response statistics of dynamical systems subject stochastic excitations. Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) that govern general nonlinear are often complicated, and their analytical solutions scarce. Thus, a range approximate methods simulation techniques have been developed. This paper develops hybrid approach approximates governing SDE usin...
