Robustness Analysis of the Collective Nonlinear Dynamics of a Periodic Coupled Pendulums Chain

Perfect structural periodicity is disturbed in presence of imperfections. The present paper is based on a realistic modeling of imperfections, using uncertainties, to investigate the robustness of the collective nonlinear dynamics of a periodic coupled pendulums chain. A generic discrete analytical...
