Enhanced Nonlinear Dynamics for Accurate Identification of Stiffness Loss in a Thermo-Shielding Panel
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-01)
The dynamics of a panel forced by transverse loads and undergoing limit cycle oscillations and chaos is investigated. The nonlinear von Karman plate theory is used to obtain a model for healthy and damaged panels. Damage ...
Localized Basis Function Method for Computing Limit Cycle Oscillations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-01)
An alternate approach to the standard harmonic balance method (based on Fourier transforms) is proposed. The proposed method begins with an idea similar to the harmonic balance method, i.e. to transform the initial set of ...
