“…These efforts triggered the development of nonlinear phase resonance testing which targets the identification of the nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) defined as periodic solutions of the unforced, undamped system [5,6]. Basic [7,8,9] and more advanced (control-based) strategies [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18] were developed during the last decade. In this context, phase-locked loops (PLLs) are particularly effective for tracking phase quadrature for increasing forcing amplitudes, as first proposed in [11].…”
