Unilateral vibro-impact systems — Experimental observations against theoretical predictions based on the coefficient of restitution

Published in Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2018

Highlights

  • Reproduce empirical observations to a certain level, validating analytical predictions.
  • Discussion of common techniques for analysis of unilateral vibro-impact problems.
  • Presentation of experimental data for 3 gap configurations: loose, neutral and tight.
  • Dependence of the coefficient of restitution to forcing frequency and pre-contact velocity is shown empirically.
  • Discussion on model tuning for unilateral vibro-impact experiments.

Validation of vibro-impact force models by numerical simulation, perturbation methods and experiments

Published in Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2017

Highlights

  • Comparison of three different impact force models.
  • Simple analytical frequency-amplitude relations are obtained and experimentally validated for the impact force models considered.
  • Parameter analysis of the impact force models.
