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 addressed for the first time. A method, named as FRF Decoupling Method for Nonlinear Systems (FDM-NS), is proposed for calculating FRFs of a substructure decoupled from a coupled nonlinear structure where nonlinearity can be modeled as a single nonlinear element. Depending on where nonlinear element is, i.e., either in the known or unknown subsystem, or at the connection point, the formulation differs. The method requires relative displacement information between two end points of the nonlinear element, in addition to point and transfer FM at some points of the known subsystem. However, it is not necessary to excite the system from the unknown subsystem even when the nonlinear element is in that subsystem. The validation of FDM-NS is demonstrated with two different case studies using nonlinear lumped parameter systems. Finally, a nonlinear experimental test structure is used in order to show the real-life application and accuracy of FDM-NS.

Dynamic Decoupling of Nonlinear Systems Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2017-02-02) Structural decoupling problem 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 all decoupling studies are for linear systems. In this study, decoupling problem for nonlinear systems is addressed for the first time and a method is proposed for calculating the frequency response functions of a substructure decoupled from a coupled nonlinear structure where nonlinearity can be modelled as a single...
Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
Nonlinear Structural Coupling: Experimental Application Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-02-06) 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 i...
Dynamics of Coupled Structures, Volume 4 Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (null, Springer, 2016-01-01) Substructuring methods are well known and are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled structures. In theory, there is no reason why the same techniques could not be used in a reverse problem of predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular substructure from the knowledge of the dynamics of the coupled structure and of all the other substructures. However, the reverse problem, known as decoupling, usually requires matrix inversions, and therefore even small measurement errors may easily affect the ac...
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...
