A new formulation for the existence and calculation of nonlinear normal modes
Résumé
A new formulation is presented here for the existence and calculation of nonlinear normal modes in undamped nonlinear autonomous mechanical systems. As in the linear case an expression is developed for the mode in terms of the amplitude, mode shape and frequency, with the distinctive feature that the last two quantities are amplitude and total phase dependent. The dynamic of the periodic response is defined by a one-dimensional nonlinear differential equation governing the total phase motion. The period of the oscillations, depending only on the amplitude, is easily deduced. It is established that the frequency and the mode shape provide the solution to a $2\pi$-periodic nonlinear eigenvalue problem, from which a numerical Galerkin procedure is developed for approximating the nonlinear modes. The procedure is applied to various mechanical systems with two degrees of freedom.
