NONLINEAR VIBRATIONS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY WITH APPLICATIONS TO CENTRIFUGAL PENDULUM VIBRATION ABSORBERS,

Abstract

This thesis is in two parts. Part 1 is a comparative study of methods for the analysis of nonlinear vibrations. It is primarily concerned with forced vibrations, and is restricted to lumped parameter systems (systems with a finite number of degrees-of-freedom). Part 2 is the application of the most suitable of these methods to problems occurring in the design of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers. (Author)
