An Approach to Identification and Simulation of the Nonlinear Dynamics of Anti-Vibration Mounts
This paper addresses the characterization of the amplitude-dependent stiffness of common vibration mounts. Anti-Vibration Mounts (AVMs) are very common passive vibration isolation devices used in a variety of ...

Nonlinear Identification Using a Frequency Response Function With the Jump
Recently, an identification method (referred to as CONCERTO) based on the measured Frequency Response Function (FRF) has been proposed. Amongst its advantages there are its simplicity and its general applicabi...

Identifying and Computing Nonlinear Normal Modes
Non linear normal modes offer a rigorous framework, both mathematical and physical, for theoretical and experimental dynamical analysis. Albeit still in its infancy, the concept of non linear normal modes has ...

Using Transmissibility measurements for Nonlinear Identification
In order to improve the predictive capability of the mathematical or numerical models of engineering structures, there is a need to capture their physical behaviour based on experimental measurements. In dynam...

Identifying and Quantifying Structural Nonlinearities from Measured Frequency Response Functions
Engineering structures seldom behave linearly and linearity checks are common practice in the development of critical structures exposed to dynamic loading to define the boundary of validity of the linear regi...

Crenosoma vulpis in dog: first case report in Italy and use of the FLOTAC technique for copromicroscopic diagnosis
Crenosoma vulpis is a metastrongylid nematode that infects the bronchi, bronchioles, and trachea of wild and domestic canids and various other carnivores. It is endemic in the red fox pop...

Optimization of a quasi-zero-stiffness isolator
The frequency range over which a mount can isolate a mass from a vibrating base (or vice versa) is often limited by the mount stiffness required to support the weight of the mass. This compromise can be made m...
