SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on identifying the nonlinear behavior of 3D structures using finite element methods (FEM) and perturbation analysis. The conversation emphasizes that for complex assembled structures, incorporating nonlinearity into the equations of motion is essential for accurate analysis. Impact Testing Hammer Apparatus is suggested as a practical tool for observing nonlinear behavior, while the importance of understanding the specific configuration and types of nonlinearities present in the system is highlighted. The discussion concludes that modal analysis results indicating resonance ratios, such as 1:2, necessitate a deeper exploration of nonlinear effects.
