Reflections on Nonlinear Dynamics of Machines and Structures
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTIn this short note a comparison is made between the methodology of nonlinear analysis in machine systems versus structural systems. Because of strong nonlinearities in machines with parts in relative motion, chaotic-like dynamics are more likely to occur in complex multi-body machines than in structural systems. Furthermore, it is conjectured that well designed machines have evolved to where a small amount of chaos is always present and is sometimes desired.
