Fascicula de Inginerie %D 2012 %I Eftimie Murgu University of Resita %X Transient dynamic characteristics of a friction pendulum can be determined using experimental ways. Nowadays, numerical simulation techniques allow obtaining these characteristics using mathematical models. The express advantage is represented by almost unlimited possibilities to extract and quantified in the regime of "post processing" regarding the results. In terms of efficiency this means increased performance regarding the research and product development. %K analysis %K finite element method %K transient %U http://anale-ing.uem.ro/2012/7.pdf
