A finite dimensional mechanical system with a cascade of non smooth constitutive terms
Claude-Henri LAMARQUE, Bastien
We describe the model corresponding to a one-degree-of-freedom mechanical system fixed to a support via a cascade of non smooth constitutive laws: The basic nonlinearity of the constitutive terms consists of dry-friction elements. We study dynamical behavior of the system. The model of the studied mechanical system corresponds to the motion of an elastoplastic chain driving one mass on a fixed support.
