In the paper the response of a heavy ball rolling inside a semi-spherical cavity under horizontal kinematic excitation is investigated. The system with six degrees of fre [...]

Stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon which can be observed at some nonlinear dynamic systems under combined excitation including deterministic harmonic force and ran [...]

Along wind random vibration of slender structures represents one of the most important aeroelastic effects resulting from wind - structure interaction. The theoretical mo [...]

The area of tuned mass dampers is a wide field of inspiration for theoretical studies in non-linear dynamics and dynamic stability. The studies attempt to estimate behavi [...]

The Lyapunov exponents serve as numerical characteristics of dynamical systems, which measure possible divergence of nearby trajectories of the solution. In this way they [...]

Slender engineering structures are endangered by a surface seismic wave. Subsoil parameters include a significant random inhomogeneity, which strongly influences characte [...]

The paper deals with a complex linear dynamic system with proportional damping, which is completed by various elements making the final system non-proportionally damped. [...]

Wind excited vibrations of slender structures such as towers, masts or certain types of bridges can be reduced using passive or active vibration absorbers. If there is av [...]
