Transient response computation of a mechanical vibrating system using cellular neural networks

Cellular neural networks (CNNs) paradigm is applied in the paper to compute the transient response of mechanical vibrating systems. Based on previous theoretical results on this field we would like to show (i) how the CNN templates can be generated automatically by a subroutine from the COSMOS/M finite element analysis system; (ii) how we assign to each degree of freedom two coupled CNN layers and how the templates are derived. Some interesting examples are shown and analyzed.<>
