This paper examines systems consisting of a primary structure supporting a relatively light secondary structure. The primary structure may be a vehicle or a building, and the secondary structure may be equipment, instruments or a tuned mass damper. The paper shows that the response of such systems t

โฆ Synopsis
It is well known that the response of harmonically loaded structures can be sensitive to small variations in the structure's parameters. For instance, if a change in a parameter causes a natural frequency to become tuned to the input frequency, the response will exhibit a resonance peak. This paper explores the possibility of sensitive response patterns when the input is wide-band. It was found that large increases or reductions in the mean-square response can occur when two or more natural frequencies are closely spaced. Closed form expressions are derived to characterize these response fluctuations. The results show that sensitive response patterns are associated with significant correlation between model responses, as well as veerings and crossings of natural frequencies.

Some new results are presented concerning the explicit stationary solution of multidimensional second order dynamical systems with a very general inertial non-linearity and subjected to a wide-band random external excitation. Canonical form is used to describe this non-linear Hamiltonian dynamical s
## Abstract In this paper, we consider the H~โ~ control problem of discreteโtime linear systems subject to input saturation. Some sufficient conditions are derived which make the closedโloop system satisfy local asymptotically stability and the H~โ~ performance prior given. According to these suffi
In this paper, an adaptive controller is designed to ensure robust synchronization of two different chaotic systems with input nonlinearities. For this purpose, a stable sliding surface is defined and an adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to achieve robust synchronization of the systems wh
In this paper, an exponentially unstable linear discrete time system subject to input saturation is shown to be exponentially stabilizable on any compact subset of the constrained asymptotically stabilizable set by a linear periodic variable structure controller. We also point out that any marginall
