...Thibaut Vadcard; Fabrice Thouverez; Alain Batailly This article introduces a numerical procedure dedicated to the identification of isolated branches of solutions for nonlinear mechanical systems. Here, it is applied to a fan blade subject to rubbing interactions and harmonic forcing. Both contact...

...Thibaut Vadcard; Yann Colaïtis; Alain Batailly; Fabrice Thouverez The study presented in this paper focuses on the analysis of rubbing interactions—including unilateral contact and dry friction—between a rotating fan blade and a rigid casing by frequency domain methods. Two previously published...
