This chapter presents a new methodology through a harmonic balance method to identify the parameters to describe the hysteresis effect in bolted joints using the Bouc-Wen model. The main idea is to adopt a priori smoothing ...

An important alteration of the equivalent loads profile has been observed in the electrical energy distribution systems, for the last years. Such fact is due to the significant increment of the electronic processors of ...

The objective of this work is to study the dynamical behavior of vehicle suspension systems employing asymmetrical viscous damping, with a focus on improving passenger comfort. Previous studies have shown that the use of ...

Describing hysteretic systems with a closed-form solution is a challenging task due to some pitfalls regarding the non-smooth and memory effect mechanisms that do not permit, for example, to apply conventional frequency ...

In this paper, bifurcations of limit cycles close to certain singularities of the vector fields are explored using an algorithm based on the harmonic balance method, the theory of nonlinear feedback systems and the monodromy ...

Hysteresis is a nonlinear phenomenon present in many structures, such as those assembled by bolted joints. Despite a large number of recent findings related to identification techniques for these systems, the problem is ...
