Structural damage identification is basically a nonlinear phenomenon; however, nonlinear procedures are not used currently in practical applications due to the complexity and difficulty for implementation of such techniques. ...

Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are systems composite by electrical and mechanical devices that interact by means of transducers elements, thus constituting one single and whole system. On the study of dynamic ...

The purpose of this work is to investigate the control of the oscillations and the suppression of vibrations in damped and coupled oscillators. In this sense, we look into the potential of using a nonlinear energy sink in ...

This paper considers the nonlinear dynamics of an electromechanical device with a pendulum arm and a Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) put on the point of the pendulum suspension. It is shown that the (NES) is capable of absorbing ...

In this paper, the dynamical response of a coupled oscillator is investigated, taking in consideration the nonlinear behavior of a SMA spring coupling the two oscillators. Due to the nonlinear coupling terms, the system ...

We study a Neumann problem for a nonlinear elliptic system. Unlike previous results in the literature of Landesman–Lazer type, our existence theorem allows rapid rotations on the nonlinear term.

The asymptotic behavior of a class of coupled second-order nonlinear dynamical systems is studied in this paper. Using very mild assumptions on the vector-field, conditions on the coupling parameters that guarantee ...

This paper presents experimental observation of nonlinear vibrations in the response of a flexible cantilever beam to transverse harmonic base excitations around its flexural mode frequencies. In the experimental setup, ...

This paper discusses the dynamic behaviour of a nonlinear two degree-of-freedom system consisting of a harmonically excited linear oscillator weakly connected to a nonlinear attachment that behaves as a hardening Duffing ...
