ANALYSIS OF STRONGLY NON-LINEAR FREE VIBRATIONS OF BEAMS USING PERTURBATION METHOD
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2005, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The possibilities of application of the perturbation method to the analysis of strongly non-linear free vibrations of beams are discussed. The geometrical non-linearity is taken into account. The finite element method is used for the description of the dynamic behaviour of beams. The first order perturbation equation is solved and the obtained solution is compared with the solution found with the help of the harmonic balance method which is widely used and applicable to the analysis of strongly non-linear dynamic systems. It was proved that both solutions are almost identical and differences are negligibly small. The numerical procedure enabling determination of backbone curves is also briefly described. Theoretical results are supplemented by a description of the results of typical calculations.

INFLUENCE OF THE STATIC LOADING OF A RAFT UNCONNECTED TO A PILE ON THE PILE DISPLACEMENTS TESTED IN FIELD CONDITIONS
We present the results of a static pile-raft interaction test in field conditions. The pile and the raft were unconnected. The static loading on the raft affected the displacements of the pile due to the skin friction. T...
