Chaotic and multiple periodic vibrations due to clearance

摘要

Preloading and friction effects in clearance problem have been demonstrated in this study. Nonlinear responses including chaos and multiple periods of the clearance type system have been investigated through simulation and extensive experiment. The investigation has been based on bifurcation and frequency response curves. All data processing and displaying techniques have been taken in consideration. The nonlinear phenomena has been investigated for a wide frequency zone. The mismatches have also been demonstrated in this literature.
