Abstract

An analytical method of computing the frequency response of single degree of freedom (DOF) oscillators with nonlinear damping is described. The author proposes an energy-type nonlinear damping model and the corresponding stationary probability density with white noise input can be obtained explicitly. A theorem is presented which gives an interesting result, in terms of the Krylov-Bogoliubov approximation, concerning the modeling and identification of nonlinear internal damping in flexible structures. This analysis also serves as a contribution to random vibration theory by providing a method of computing the first- and second-order statistics (steady-state probability density, correlation function, and spectral density) of nonlinearity damped oscillators with white noise input.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
