The 3rd Workshop – Registration open
We are pleased to informu you that the registration for 3rd Workshop is now open. The event will take place during the Wibrotech 2019 Conference organized by AGH on November 14-15, 2019 in Zawiercie (http://www.wibrotech.agh.edu.pl/). During the workshop, introductory information to the topic of energy harvesting and the results of own research will be presented….
Dynamical response of a bistable system with clearance
We study the dynamics of an elastic inverted pendulum with an horizontal excitation and imperfect clamping. Complex nonlinear responses of the system appear due to the existence of double potential wells and impacts. The simulation results are analysed by means of phase portraits and Fourier spectra. The results show clearly that increasing the distance between…
Complex response of an oscillating vertical cantilever with clearance
Krystian Łygas, Piotr Wolszczak, Grzegorz Litak, Paweł Stączek Meccanica September 2019, Volume 54, Issue 11–12, pp 1689–1702 Abstract We study the dynamics of an elastic inverted pendulum with amplitude limiters excited horizontally. This particular model corresponds to a class of systems where a clearance is present naturally as an effect of imperfect clamping or it…
