On the problem of describing the coupling interface between sub-structures: an experimental test for 'completeness'

JWR Meggitt, AT Moorhouse, AS Elliott - … 4: Proceedings of the 36th IMAC …, 2018 - Springer
The implementation of both vibration source characterisation and sub-structure
coupling/decoupling procedures rely on the complete description of a coupling interface …

Identification of coupled degrees of freedom at the interface between sub-structures

A Elliott, A Moorhouse, J Meggitt - INTER-NOISE and NOISE …, 2018 - ingentaconnect.com
A crucial step in sub-structuring, vibration source characterisation and transfer path analysis
is to correctly define the interfaces between coupled sub-structures. In particular, it is …

Interval sensitivity analysis of joint dynamics in complex built-up structures

JWR Meggitt - Journal of Vibration and Control, 2023 - journals.sagepub.com
The dynamic properties of joints, or inter-component connections, are a principal source of
uncertainty when modelling complex built-up structures. In the present paper, we propose …

[HTML][HTML] Interval-based identification of response-critical joints: A tool for model refinement

JWR Meggitt - Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2022 - Elsevier
To accurately model the dynamics of a complex built-up structure it is often necessary to
forgo the assumption of ideal rigid coupling between components. The dynamic behaviour …
