Extract

Several methods are available for the solution of problems of forced vibration of systems with nonlinear elastic characteristics. Of these, the Martienssen, Den Hartog and Rauscher methods may be applied even if the restoring force characteristic is only known graphically, while the Duffing and Perturbation methods are only applicable when the restoring force characteristic is expressed in a convenient mathematical form. Successive approximations are used in the Duffing, Perturbation and Rauscher methods and therefore any desired degree of accuracy can be obtained. The Den Hartog and Martienssen methods give a two-term and one-term solution respectively.
