In recent years, the prediction of the behavior of structures with high-level nonlinearities has been a challenging area of research. In 2021, the Tribomechadynamics Research Challenge was proposed to evaluate the current state of the art in modeling in the community of jointed structures: the task was a blind prediction of the nonlinear dynamic response of a system including a frictional and a geometric nonlinearity. Participants of the challenge were given only the technical drawings, including material and surface specifications required to manufacture and assemble the system and were asked to predict the frequency and damping ratio of the lowest-frequency elastic mode as function of the amplitude. The behavior of the real system was experimentally characterized during the Tribomechadynamics Research Camp 2022. This contribution presents the experimental work performed during the research camp. As the nature of the structure requires a base excitation, two recently developed nonlinear testing techniques have been explored to extract the modal parameters: the response-controlled testing method and the phase-resonant testing method. The results obtained with the different methods are compared and the blind predictions are confronted with the experimental results in order to assess their accuracy.
