This paper studies and characterizes the stationary responses of a complex experimental system consisting of a reciprocating exciter and a multi-mass pendulum. The proposed model is based on the interaction between the exciter system and the pendulum, taking into account the structure composed of multiple oscillators, as well as analyzing the behavior of the system and the interaction of its components. The characteristic parameters are estimated from the comparison of experimental measurements with numerical simulations. The objective of the work is to identify parameter configurations that allow the proposed model to resemble previously obtained experimental observations.
