Vibration, Volume 2, Issue 4

Nonlinear time series analysis gained prominence from the late 1980s on, primarily because of its ability to characterize, analyze, and predict nontrivial features in data sets that stem from a wide range of fields such as finance, music, human physi...

This paper proposes an optimization-based framework to determine the type of nonlinear model present and identify its parameters. The objective in this optimization problem is to identify the parameters of a nonlinear model by minimizing the differen...

Because blast effects can jeopardize the safety of facilities, controlling blast hazards is critical in engineering design and construction. The attenuation and amplification effects generated by blast waves are affected by the topography and terrain...

This paper investigates friction-induced self-excited vibration in a bi-stable compliant mechanism. A single-degree-of-freedom oscillator, hanged vertically, vibrates on a belt moving horizontally with a constant velocity. The oscillator is excited t...
