The harmonic balance method for bifurcation analysis of large-scale nonlinear mechanical systems
Thibaut Detroux, Ludovic Renson, Luc Masset +1
The harmonic balance (HB) method is widely used in the literature for analyzing the periodic solutions of nonlinear mechanical systems. The objective of this paper is to exploit th…
Nonlinear normal modes, modal interactions and isolated resonance curves
Robert J. Kuether, Ludovic Renson, Thibaut Detroux +3
The objective of the present study is to explore the connection between the nonlinear normal modes of an undamped and unforced nonlinear system and the isolated resonance curves th…
Performance, robustness and sensitivity analysis of the nonlinear tuned vibration absorber
Thibaut Detroux, Giuseppe Habib, Luc Masset +1
The nonlinear tuned vibration absorber (NLTVA) is a recently-developed nonlinear absorber which generalizes Den Hartog's equal peak method to nonlinear systems. If the purposeful i…
Nonlinear Generalization of Den Hartog's Equal-Peak Method
Giuseppe Habib, Thibaut Detroux, Regis Viguié +1
This study addresses the mitigation of a nonlinear resonance of a mechanical system. In view of the narrow bandwidth of the classical linear tuned vibration absorber, a nonlinear a…
