Steady State Response and Stability Analysis of the two Degrees of Freedom System with an Impact Damper

Abstract

<p>Steady State response of a system of two degrees of freedom with impact damper and their asymptotic stability criterian are derived analytically. Stability regions are also determined for a wide range of parameters of impact damper by using a digital computer.</p> <p>An experimental study is also made to verify the assumptions taken in the analytical solution and to obtain general a response of the system for a wide range parameters of the impact damper.</p>
