Analysis of a 3D spatial double physical pendulum system, coupled by two universal joints is performed. External excitation of the mechanism is realized by axial periodic rotations of the first joint of the pendulum. ...

The paper introduces a model of two identical coupled 4-DOF mechanical linear sliding systems with dry friction coupled with each other by a linear torsional spring. The appropriate components (bodies) of the coupled ...

Nonlinear longitudinal vibrations of a periodically heterogeneous rod are considered. Geometrical nonlinearity is described by the Cauchy–Green strain tensor. Physical nonlinearity is modelled expressing the energy of ...

The externally excited and damped vibrations of the double pendulum in the vertical plane are considered. The pendulum can collide with a rough obstacle many times during its motion. The pendulum is modeled as a piecewise ...

Air-foil technology is an interesting alternative for classic rolling or oil bearings in turbomachinery. It ensures low power losses, do not require external lubrication or pressurization and is capable of working with ...

The paper presents modelling of an articulated vehicle by means of joint coordinates, which enable us to describe the motion of the system with a minimal number of generalised coordinates. We consider a model of a ...
