Observation of dependence of the nonlinear response on initial conditions in a two-DOF mechanical structure

Leung, Andrew Yee TakAndrew Yee TakLeungJi, J. C.2022-04-122022-04-122001https://repository.sfu.edu.hk/handle/sfu/3037This paper presents experimental realization of dependence on initial conditions in the nonlinear response of a two-degree-of-freedom (two-DOF) nonlinear system, by employing a nonlinear beam-mass mechanical structure. The experimental data show that the structure exhibits different dynamic behavior under different initial conditions.enObservation of dependence of the nonlinear response on initial conditions in a two-DOF mechanical structurejournal article10.1016/S0093-6413(01)00207-5
