NONLINER VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF THE PLATE WITH DRY FRICTION SUPPORT CONDITION

The rigid-interface friction model is usually used in the nonlinear vibration of the rectangular plate with dry friction support edges. The present study provides an extension by using a hysteretic spring friction model and taking account of the stick-slip motion of the plate. Results for a range of problem parameters have been obtained. The results show that the nonlinear frequency response behavior of the system can be quite different from the rigid-interface friction model. The effects of the stiffness at friction interfaces and the stick-slip motion on the nonlinear vibration of the plate are significant and hence cannot be neglected.
