Sommario

Viene impostata una metodologia generale atta a calcolare i moti vibratori dei sistemi non lineari con un grado di libertà. Il moto vibratorio viene considerato come una successione infinita di semionde crescenti e decrescenti, per ciascuna delle quali il tempo e lo spostamento vengono considerati come dati iniziali, con velocità iniziale nulla. Vengono poi ricavate le formule ricorrenti che forniscono i dati iniziali di ogni semionda in funzione di quelli relativi alla precedente. Il procedimento viene applicato alla equazione di Duffing e porta allo studio delle potenze di una matrice, il cui comportamento quando l'esponente tende ad infinito determina il carattere di stabilità, o instabilità, o periodicità asintotica della soluzione.

Summary

A general procedure is developed in order to calculate the vibratory motions of non linear systems with one degree of freedom. The vibration is considered as an infinite sequence of increasing and decreasing half-waves, for each of wich time and deplacement are considered as initial data, with initial velocity zero. Recurrent formulae giving the initial data for each half-wave as a function of those relative to the preceeding half-wave are calculated. This procedure is applied to the Duffing equation and leads to study of the powers of a matrix, whose behaviour, when the exponent goes to infinity, determines the character of stability or instability or asymptotic periodicity of the solution.
