A Study of Non-Smooth Impacting Behaviors
(2015)The dynamics of impacting components is of particular interest to engineers due to concerns about noise and wear, but is particularly difficult to study due to impact's non-linear nature. To begin transferring concepts studied ... -
Nonsmooth Dynamics in Two Interacting, Impacting Pendula
(2012)This thesis reviews the experimental investigation of a non-smooth dynamical system consisting of two pendula; a large pendulum attached to a frame with an impact wall, and a small pendulum, which shares its axis of rotation ...
