Linearization and parametric vibration analysis of some applied problems in multibody systems

Abstract

The paper deals with the application of the Runge-Kutta method for calculating steady-state periodic vibrations of the parametric vibration systems governed by linearized differential equations. The numerical calculation is also demonstrated by two models of multibody systems and measurements on real objects. Good agreement is obtained between the numerical and experimental results. Consequently, the obtained results can also be applicable to investigate other complicated models of multibody systems which perform the steady-state motions. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
