Abstract
Many dynamic processes in machines, structures, and various deformable continua posses a highly expressed unsteady (non-stationary) character. To such processes belong, for example:
-
explosive, shock, and vibro-impact loading;
-
propagation of seismic waves;
-
transition of systems through resonant domains under a varying forc-ing frequency and amplitude;
-
one-sided impacts provoked by backlashes with varying points of con-tact;
-
oscillation of structures of varying mass and stiffness;
-
action of moving loads;
-
oscillation of structures with strongly nonlinear damping elements.
