No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-03-03; In this chapter several examples of physical systems whose dynamic behaviour can be approximated by several forms of the Duffing equation are given. The physical systems are chosen to illustrate the physical phenomena that result in different forms of this equation related to several types of geometric ...

The first is a pure cubic nonlinear oscillator with a constant and a harmonic force acting on it, associated with a vibration isolator. The second is a hanging cable which the asymmetry is caused by gravity. Both of these systems have a sin...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01; This chapter describes the dynamic behaviour of a coupled system where a nonlinear oscillator is attached and driven harmonically by an electro-dynamic shaker. The shaker is modelled as a linear single degree-of-freedom oscillator and the nonlinear attachment is modelled as a hardening Duffing oscillato...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-08-01; This work concerns the application of certain non-linear phenomena - jump frequencies in a base-excited Duffing oscillator - to the estimation of the parameters of the system. First, approximate analytical expressions are derived for the relationships between the jump-up and jump-down frequencies, the d...
