Dataset for: "An analytical approach for detecting isolated periodic solution branches in weakly-nonlinear structures". Authors: T.L. Hill, S.A. Neild and A. Cammarano. Journal: Journal of Sound and Vibration. Created: 24-May-2016. This readme describes how to interpret the datasets contained within this folder. Each dataset is contained within a *.txt file and each *.txt file is named according to the corresponding figure (within the paper) and the attributes within that figure. For example: Fig10_Line_Data.txt - describes Line data within Fig10, Fig10_Point_Data.txt - describes Point data within Fig10. Note: no specific software is required in order to read these files, however useful MATLAB routines may be available from the authors on request. A guide to the structure of each is presented below. Structure of *_Line_Data.txt files: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Line n - A header showing the line number. ############################## Colour (in RGB) = [r g b], - The colour of the line in RGB format. Line Style = "x", - The style of the line, e.g. "-", "--", ... for solid, dashed, etc. {Line marker = "x",} - If the line has point markers, e.g. ".", "x", ... for points, crosses etc. OR: {No additional markers,} - If the line has no markers. X = x1, - The x-dimension of the data, separated by commas x2, ... Y = y1, - The y-dimension of the data, separated by commas y2, ... Z = z1, - The z-dimension of the data, separated by commas (only if z-data exists) z2, ... Structure of *_Point_Data.txt files: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Point n - A header showing the point number. ############################## Colour (in RGB) = [r g b], - The colour of the point in RGB format. Marker Type = "x", - The style of the points, e.g. ".", "x", ... for points, crosses etc. X = x1, - The x-dimension of the data, separated by commas x2, ... Y = y1, - The y-dimension of the data, separated by commas y2, ... Z = z1, - The z-dimension of the data, separated by commas (only if z-data exists) z2, ...
