Abstract

Attention is now turned on experimental investigations in order to show the engineering applications of the SD oscillator, which might actually work well and usefully in engineering. In the first part of this chapter we setup a mechanical experimental rig for \(\alpha >0\) involving rigid foundation, guiding bar and springs which is close to the theoretical model itself. This device is designed to be adjustable to detect the complex nonlinear dynamical phenomena when parameters changes. The results obtained experimentally are in a good agreement with the results presented in the previous chapters.
