Jc. Ji et Ayt. Leung, Observation of dependence of the nonlinear response on initial conditions in a two-DOF mechanical structure, MECH RES CO, 28(5), 2001, pp. 543-550
This paper presents experimental realization of dependence on initial condi
tions in the nonlinear response of a two-degree-of-freedom (two-DOF) nonlin
ear system, by employing a nonlinear beam-mass mechanical structure. The ex
perimental data show that the structure exhibits different dynamic behavior
under different initial conditions.
