The Identification of Nonlinear Systems Using Ct-Kt Plane Coordinates

In order to instantaneously distinguish the Ct (coefficient of viscous damping) and Kt (coefficient of stiffness), which are both functions of time in an M.C.K. nonlinear system, a new identification method is proposed in this paper. The graphs of the Ct-Kt are analyzed and the dynamic behavior of M...
