Sustained High-Frequency Dynamic Instability of a Nonlinear System of Coupled Oscillators Forced by Single or Repeated Impulses: Theoretical and Experimental Results

This report describes the impulsive dynamics of a system of two coupled oscillators with essential (nonlinearizable) stiffness nonlinearity. The system considered consists of a grounded weakly damped linear oscillator coupled to a lightweight weakly damped oscillating attachment with essential cubic...
