Extract

The purpose of this paper is to study the random vibration of linearly elastic, lumped-mass systems containing non-linear damping, to ideal stationary Gaussian white noise excitation.

The following practical examples of systems with non-linear damping are quoted. A random vibration absorber with (velocity)2 damping, (velocity)2 damping in an aircraft oleo pneumatic undercarriage, and spar cap beam dampers in which damping is produced by relative motion between friction surfaces during beam deflection. In the first two examples optimum system parameters are determined in order to minimise the mean square response. In the third case the root mean square acceleration of a beam with spar cap damping is determined experimentally, the results being compared with Caughey's theoretical results.
