This paper presents a new approach to reduce the measurement time by the prediction of the steady-state using the transient response to ethanol for quartz crystal microbalance gas sensors coated with ethyl cellulose. The experimentally measured response curves were successively fitted using a mathematical model based on the sum of two exponentials with different time constants. The parameters of the model were determined, and the time constants and the magnitude of the steady-state response were analyzed. Even though the time constants did not stabilize well, the parameter corresponding to the magnitude of the steady-state response quickly converged and stabilized after 37 s. Moreover, this calculated parameter was highly correlated with the measured values of the steady-state response, which was measured at five times the longest time constant (83 s) of the model. Therefore, the steady-state response could be predicted with a 55% reduction in the measurement (detection) time.

The steady-state response of a system constrained by a limited slip joint and excited by a trigonometrically varying external load is discussed. It is shown that the system may possess such features as disconnected response curves and jumps in response depending on the strength of the system nonlinearity, the level of excitation, the amount of viscous damping, and the initial conditions of the system.

This paper deals with steady-state response of the piping system with nonlinear support having hysteresis damping characteristics. Considering the energy loss for contact with a support, an analytical method of approximate solution for the beam, a one-span model of the piping system, with quadrilateral hysteresis loop characteristics is presented. Some numerical results of the approximate solution for the response curves and the mode shapes are shown. [S0094-9930(00)00204-3]

This paper predicts the nonlinear relative motion of a cantilever with a tip mass and magnets based on a distributed-parameter model. The Kelvin viscoelastic model is used to account for the damping in the cantilever. Under the harmonic base excitation, the governing equation is deduced via a coordinate transformation linked to its static equilibrium. To qualitatively validate those results captured from the approximate methods, the finite difference method and the multi-scale method are respectively employed to determine the natural frequency and the steady-state response of forced vibration. It is analytically demonstrated that those modes uninvolved in a certain resonance actually have no effect on the response amplitude of the stable steady-state motion. The effects of forcing amplitude, viscoelastic damping, and tip mass on the steady-state response are detailed via the amplitude–frequency response curves. For the first time, the current works theoretically illustrated the conversion from the hardening-type behavior to the softening-type versus the augmenting magnetic force, as well as the opposing effect of different tip masses on the first mode and the higher modes.
