Analytic Determination of the Amplitude-Frequency Characteristic of a Nonlinear Vibroprotective System with Roller Damper

We consider the dynamic behavior of a nonlinear vibroprotective system with roller damper of low-frequency oscillations. By using the Ritz averaging method, we deduce the equation of the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the nonlinear system. A new graphic method is proposed for the determination of the parameters of adjustment of the roller damper.__________Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 2, pp. 136 – 150, March – April, 2005.
