Abstract

The non-stationary response in vibrating systems with power-law damping, subjected to sweep tests is considered. Using the method of averaging, it is shown that the bifurcation delay persists in all forms of power-law damping, viz., Coulomb, orifice and cubic damping models. Experimental investigations on a soft type of isolator confirm the existence of delay in the jump phenomenon. These results also indicate that the softening nature of non-linearity can be profitably employed in the design of isolators and vehicle suspensions.
