In this work, the nonlinear structural modification/coupling technique proposed recently by the authors is applied to a test system in order to study the applicability of the method to real structures. The technique is based on calculating the frequency response functions of a modified system from those of the original system and the dynamic stiffness matrix of the nonlinear modifying part. The modification can also be in the form of coupling a nonlinear system to the original system. The test system used in this study is composed of two cantilever beams with their free ends held between two thin identical beams which yield cubic stiffness. Thus two linear structures are coupled with a nonlinear connecting element. The frequency response functions of the coupled nonlinear system are measured at several different harmonic forcing levels, and the experimental values are compared with the theoretical values calculated using the nonlinear structural coupling method.

Structural Coupling of Two Nonlinear Structures Tepe, Çağrı; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (null; 2015-02-02) In mechanical design, modeling and analysis of a complex structure can be simplified with dividing the structure into substructures; therefore, any change in the structure can be addressed easily which is referred as “structural coupling”. Utilization of proper coupling techniques, it is possible to understand the behavior of the whole structure by considering the behavior of its substructures. For linear structures, coupling is a common technique; however, in most of the engineering structures, nonlinearit...
Nonlinear system identification and nonlinear experimental modal analysis by using response controlled stepped sine testing Karaağaçlı, Taylan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-12-24) In this work, two novel nonlinear system identification methods are proposed in both the modal and spatial domains, respectively, based on response-controlled stepped-sine testing (RCT) where the displacement amplitude of the excitation point is kept constant throughout the frequency sweep. The proposed nonlinear modal identification method, which is also a nonlinear experimental modal analysis technique, applies to systems with several nonlinearities at different (and even unknown) locations (e.g. joint no...
Nonlinear analysis of R/C low-rise shear walls Mansour, Mohamad Y.; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, Jung Yoon (SAGE Publications, 2004-08-01) An analysis method for predicting the response of low-rise shear walls under both monotonic and cyclic loading is presented in this paper. The proposed analysis method is based on the softened truss model theory but utilizes newly proposed cyclic constitutive relationships for concrete and steel bars obtained from cyclic shear testing. The successfulness of the analysis method, when combined with new materials constitutive relationships, is checked against the test results of 33 low-rise shear walls reporte...
Harmonic Response of Large Engineering Structures with Nonlinear Modifications Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2011-07-06) In a structural design, the structure may need to be modified and for each modification its dynamic characteristics may need to be determined by reanalyzing the structure dynamically. Since computational time and cost are very critical in design processes, structural modification methods become decisive, particularly for large systems, in predicting the dynamic behavior of modified structures from those of the original and modifying structures. Due to nonlinearity in most engineering structures, linearity a...
FRF decoupling of nonlinear systems Kalayclogiu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2018-03-01) Structural decoupling problem, i.e. predicting dynamic behavior of a particular substructure from the knowledge of the dynamics of the coupled structure and the other substructure, has been well investigated for three decades and led to several decoupling methods. In spite of the inherent nonlinearities in a structural system in various forms such as clearances, friction and nonlinear stiffness, all decoupling studies are for linear systems. In this study, decoupling problem for nonlinear systems is address...
