Abstract

The concept of power flow, which has been found to be a powerful tool in thedynamic analysisof complex systems with conservative connecting elements, isextended to the case of nonconservativelycoupled mechanical or structural systems.In order to avoid any ambiguity in the definition of power flow in this situation, the nonconservatively coupled oscillators are considered as a limiting case of oscillators with conservative connections. Through the introduction of dissipative powerand penetrating power flow, this approach is shown to produce a physical consistentformulation. Some important anddistinguishing properties of this formulation aredemonstrated and discussed through numerical examples.
