Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of SDI Structural Components

Abstract

The report summarizes results of experimental and theoretical investigations into the nonlinear response and control of structural elements. Methods for the analysis and design of control procedures applicable to certain nonlinear distributed parameter systems were investigated. Analytical and computational techniques were developed for evaluating the nonlinear effects on control designs. Bench-type experiments were conducted for validating some of the theoretical results. Keywords: Nonlinear dynamics; Control; Resonances; Modal coupling.
