Objectives
This course is an introduction to the main phenomena related to the problems of nonlinear vibrations. The minimum knowledge and rules useful to the engineer will be introduced to diagnose and treat these problems. Many examples from engineering problems will illustrate the course. We can mention the dynamics of frictional contacts (squeal noise), clearance systems (rattling), rotors dynamics and gear transmissions, bridges subjected to wind .
