A method to identify the parameters involved in the non-linear terms of randomly excited mechanical systems is presented. It is based on the minimisation of an index function which reflects the difference between an analytical approximation of the powerspectral density function response and the meas

β¦ Synopsis
Many vibrating systems when experimentally tested show weak non-linearity. In these cases linear response features such as natural frequencies and damping ratios though clearly identifiable, nevertheless show amplitude dependency. This paper describes an approach where the underlying non-linear differential equation governing the system may be identified. As input the equivalent linear response parameters measured over a range of amplitudes are used. A commercial aircraft trim panel mounting is considered as an example to demonstrate the technique.

A robust identification technique is presented which extracts the linear frequency response kernel from an input/response measurement of a general non-linear system. Also the number and significance of higher order frequency response kernels required for a complete identification may be assessed fro
The Karhunen}Loeve (K}L) decomposition procedure is applied to a system of coupled cantilever beams with non-linear grounding sti!nesses and a system of non-linearly coupled rods. The former system possesses localized non-linear normal modes (NNMs) for certain values of the coupling parameters and h
It is known that an efficient approach for modal identification of a weakly non-linear multidimensional second-order dynamical system consists of using a model based on equivalent stochastic linearisation with constant coefficients. Such a model leads to a good identification of the total power of t
Researchers in structural dynamics have long recognised the importance of diagnosing and modelling non-linearity. The last 20 years have witnessed a shift in emphasis from single degree-of-freedom (sdof) to multi-degree-of-freedom (mdof) non-linear structural dynamics. The main feature of the progra
