Theoretical Analysis and Numerical Simulation of Resonances and Stability of a Piecewise Linear-Nonlinear Vibration Isolation System

A methodology is presented to study the resonance and stability for a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system with a piecewise linear-nonlinear stiffness term (i.e., one piece is linear and the other is weakly nonlinear). Firstly, the exact response of the linear governing equation is obtained, and a...
