Transient Resonance Oscillations of a Mechanical System With Regard to Non-Linear Damping Effects

Transient, forced vibrations of a mechanical system are considered. Dissipative effects such as material damping, aerodynamic damping and damping at interfaces are taken into account. For the modeling of these effects the set of isolated weakly non-linear single degree of freedom oscillators with damping dependent non-linearities is used. The superposition of their responses approximates the resulting response of the system. The justification of this assumption is discussed. The Krylov-Bogoljubov asymptotic method is applied for the investigation of the transient resonance response. Numerical calculations are provided to demonstrate the validity of the Krylov-Bogoljubov first approximation.
