SOME NUMERICAL RESULTS ON ENERGY TRANSFER BETWEEN MECHANICAL OSCILLATORS

José Manoel Balthazar, Sanzara Costa, Carlos Henrique Hassmann, Márcio Dantas

The present paper deals with energy transfer in a dissipative mechanical system. Various results, theoretical and numerical, based on recent works are given. Numerical results are given by considering a linear interaction between the considered oscillators. Specifically, we show an energy transfer from linear to nonlinear oscillator (energy pumping) as well as from nonlinear to linear oscillator.
