First literature review for the analysis of quasi-periodicity variability effects and modeling strategies
Résumé
Quasi periodicity and variability effects on structures are spread in all the engineering branches. The inherent research works are carried out with both numerical and experimental activities. A more specific goal is the analysis of the influence of such effects on the vibroacoustic response. The modern tools for investigating the most significant impacts of imperfections and irregularities on the vibrational and acoustical response of a given structure are codes based on combination of wave and finite element, spectral finite elements, transfer matrix methods and the adoption of stochastic variables. In view of the foreseen work inside the VIPER project, this paper refers to the analysis of the most recent literature and possible initial strategy.
