Abstract:Models for nonlinear vibrations commonly employ polynomial terms that arise from series expansions about an equilibrium point. The analysis of symmetric systems with cubic terms is very common, and the inclusion of asymmetric quadratic terms is known to modify the effective cubic nonlinearity in weakly nonlinear systems. The net effect is a monotonic dependence of the vibration frequency on the amplitude squared in both cases. However, in many applications, such a monotonic dependence is not observed, necessit… Show more
