The presence of mechanical joints—typified by the lap joint—in otherwise linear structures has been accommodated in structural dynamics via ad hoc methods for a century. The methods range from tuning linear models to approximate non‐linear behaviour in restricted load ranges to various methods which introduce joint dissipation in a post‐processing stage. Other methods, employing constitutive models for the joints are being developed and their routine use is on the horizon. Published in 2005 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
