Abstract

In this Note, we deal with the non-linear vibration of viscoelastic shell structures. Coupling a harmonic balance method with a one mode Galerkin's procedure, one obtains an amplitude equation depending on two complex coefficients. These are determined by solving a classical eigenvalue problem and two linear problems. This permits us to characterize the evolution of the loss factor with the vibration amplitude. To validate our approach, the amplitude-frequency and the amplitude-loss factor relationships are illustrated in the case of a circular ring. To cite this article: E.H. Boutyour et al., C. R.
