“…Nonlinear vibration is a subject of immense scientific and engineering importance. Many physical phenomena such as chaos, 1 bifurcations, 2,3 jumps, 4 sub-harmonic resonance, 5 softening and hardening backbone response, 5,6 parametric response, 7 stability analysis, 3,5 and fractal oscillations 8–10 can only be understood through nonlinear vibration analysis. The nonlinearity in a vibrating system may arise from static and/or dynamic inertia effects, damping, size-dependent mechanics, fractal mechanics, elastic or spring stiffness, and external excitation.…”
