Dynamics of a chain system of rigid bodies with gravity-friction seismic dampers: fixed supports

A design model for a chain system of N elastically linked rigid bodies with a spheroidal gravity-friction damper is proposed. The Lagrange–Painlevé equations of the first kind are used to construct nonlinear dynamical models of a mechanical system undergoing translational vibrations about the equilibrium position. The conditions under which the system moves in one plane are established. The double nonstationary phase–frequency resonance of a system with N = 2 is analyze. After the numerical integration of the systems of differential equations, the phase–frequency surfaces are plotted and examined for several combinations of system parameters under two-frequency loading
