On the describing function method and the prediction of limit cycles in nonlinear dynamical systems

This paper analyses the limit cycle characteristics of systms with nonlinear friction or dynamics backlash. The study is based on the describing function (DF) of nonlinear systems being the nonlinear blocks composed on a mass subected to nonlinear friction or two masses subjected to backlash. the re...
