Structural nonlinearity is a common phenomenon encountered in engineering structures under dynamic loading. In several cases, linear theory can suffice to analyze nonlinear systems to some extent. However, there are cases where nonlinear effects and therefore nonlinear analysis become unavoidable. In most of the engineering applications it is usually very difficult if not impossible to model nonlinearity theoretically, especially for nonlinear effects stemming from structural connections. Then it becomes necessary to detect, localize and parametrically identify nonlinear elements from measured vibration data. In this study, two different methods, one being a method suggested recently by two of the authors of this paper, and the other being again a method developed in an earlier work, are implemented on a test rig containing a nonlinear element. Both methods are capable of parametrically identifying nonlinearities from measured frequency response functions. It is aimed in this paper to asses the validity of each method by applying them to a real test structure and thus parametrically identifying the nonlinear element in the system to obtain a mathematical model, and then employing the model in harmonic response analysis of the system in order to compare predicted responses with measured ones.

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...
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...
Experimental validation of pseudo receptance difference (PRD) method for nonlinear model updating Canbaloglu, Guvenc; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Springer, 2015-02-05) In real life applications most of the structures have nonlinearities, which restrict us applying model updating techniques available for linear structures. Well-established FRF based model updating methods would easily be extended to a nonlinear system if the FRFs of the underlying linear system (linear FRFs) could be experimentally measured. When frictional type of nonlinearity co-exists with other types of nonlinearities, it is not possible to obtain linear FRFs experimentally by using low level forcing. ...
Parametric identification of nonlinearity in structural systems using describing function inversion Aykan, Murat; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) Most engineering structures include nonlinearity to some degree. Depending on the dynamic conditions and level of external forcing, sometimes a linear structure assumption may be justified. However, design requirements of sophisticated structures such as satellites may require nonlinear behavior to be considered for better performance. Therefore, it is very important to successfully detect, localize and parametrically identify nonlinearity in such cases. In engineering applications, the location of nonlinea...
