Response of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Vibration System with Rough Contact Interfaces by Zhiqiang Huang, Xun Peng, Gang Li, Lei Hao

“…In this model, the force-deflection characteristic of the contact interfaces is determined by finite element analysis. By analyzing the undamped free vibration, it was found that the variation of the second-order natural frequency with amplitude increases with rougher contact interfaces; however, the amplitude has little influence on the first-order natural frequency of the system. …”
