Abstract
A finite element method in time is presented for the periodic solution of vibrating elastic mechanisms with clearances. The solution of motion is made possible by utilizing time finite ele- ments which discretize the forcing time period into a number of time intervals. During each interval, the solution form is derived from a Hamilton's law of varying action. The periodic response is described in terms of a set of temporal nodes of all spatial degrees of freedom of the system, yielding a block-diagonal non- linear algebraic system to be solved iteratively. The suggested method is applied to an example problem of cam-driven valve train, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method in dealing with multiple clearance nonlinearities.
