AbstractThis paper describes an experimental investigation of steady-state resonant waves. Several co-propagating short-crested wave trains are generated in a basin at the State Key Laboratory of Ocean Engineering (SKLOE) in Shanghai, and the wavefields are measured and analysed both along and normal to the direction of propagation. These steady-state resonant waves are first calculated theoretically under the exact resonance criterion with sufficiently high nonlinearity, and then are generated in the basin by means of the main wave components that contain at least 95 % of the wave energy. The steady-state wave spectra are quantitatively observed within the inherent system error of the basin and identified by means of a contrasting experiment. Both symmetrical and anti-symmetrical steady-state resonant waves are observed and the experimental and theoretical results show excellent agreement. These results offer the first experimental evidence of the existence of steady-state resonant waves with multiple solutions.

This study reports the results of an analytical and experimental investigation of helical springs subjected to vibratory motion. Transfer functions are presented for both displacement and transmitted force as outputs with force as the input. Steady-state sinusoidal Magnitude Ratio (displacement—force) and Transmittance Ratio (force—force) are plotted along with substantiating experimental data. It is shown that an actual spring displays frequency response characteristics over most of the frequency spectrum that would render its function useless in many cases.
