In the present paper, the Nonlinear Frequency Response (NFR) analysis is applied for theoretical study of kinetics of adsorption governed by pore-surface diffusion. The concept of higher-order frequency response functions (FRFs) is used. Based on a nonlinear mathematical model for adsorption of pure gas and spherical adsorbent particles, the theoretical first- and second-order FRFs, which relate the adsorbate concentration in the particle to the surrounding pressure (F1(ω) and F2(ω,ω)), have been derived. The obtained FRFs have been simulated for different steady-state pressures and different ratios (between zero and one) of surface to pore diffusion coefficients. The results show that, unlike F1(ω), F2(ω,ω) exhibits features which unambiguously distinguish the pore-surface diffusion model from pure pore diffusion and micropore diffusion. Based on the characteristic features of F1(ω) and F2(ω,ω), a new methodology for direct estimation of the separate values of the pore and surface diffusion coefficients has been established.

This paper presents the nonlinear frequency response of a multistage clutch damper system in the framework of the harmonic balance method. For the numerical analysis, a multistage clutch damper with multiple nonlinearities is modeled as a single degree-of-freedom torsional system subjected to sinusoidal excitations. The nonlinearities include piecewise-linear stiffness, hysteresis, and preload all with asymmetric transition angles. Then, the nonlinear frequency response of the system is numerically obtained by applying the Newton–Raphson method to a system equation formulated by using the harmonic balance method. The resulting nonlinear frequency response is then compared with that obtained by direct numerical simulation of the system in the time domain. Using the simulation results, the stability characteristics and existence of quasi-harmonic response of the system are investigated. Also, the effect of stiffness values on the dynamic performance of the system is examined.
