Harmonic balance method (HBM) is one of the most popular and powerful methods, which is used to obtain response of nonlinear vibratory systems in frequency domain. The main idea of the method is to express the response of the system in Fourier series and converting the nonlinear differential equations of motion into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. System response can be obtained by solving this nonlinear equation set in terms of the unknown Fourier coefficients. The accuracy of the solution is greatly affected by the number of harmonics included in the solution; hence, increasing the number of harmonics increases the accuracy of the solution at the expense of computational effort. Therefore, it is desirable to use an adaptive algorithm where the number of harmonics can be optimized in terms of both accuracy and computational effort. Until now, various adaptive harmonic balance methods have been formulated to perform this task. This paper presents an overview and a comparison of these adaptive harmonic balance methods in terms of their effectiveness.

In this thesis, the synchronization in the arrays of identical and non-identical coupled harmonic oscillators is studied. Both linear and nonlinear coupling is considered. The study consists of two main parts. The first part concentrates on theoretical analysis and the second part contains the simulation results. The first part begins with introducing the harmonic oscillators and the basics of synchronization. Then some theoretical aspects of synchronization of linearly and nonlinearly coupled harmonic osci...
Nonlinear system identification and nonlinear experimental modal analysis by using response controlled stepped sine testing
Karaağaçlı, Taylan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-12-24)
In this work, two novel nonlinear system identification methods are proposed in both the modal and spatial domains, respectively, based on response-controlled stepped-sine testing (RCT) where the displacement amplitude of the excitation point is kept constant throughout the frequency sweep. The proposed nonlinear modal identification method, which is also a nonlinear experimental modal analysis technique, applies to systems with several nonlinearities at different (and even unknown) locations (e.g. joint no...

On the solution of nonlinear algebraic equations following periodic forced response analysis of nonlinear structures using different nonlinear solvers
Kizilay, H. Sefa; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2021-01-01)
In periodic forced response analysis of nonlinear structures, most of the time analytical solutions cannot be obtained due to the complex behavior of the nonlinearity and/or due to the number of nonlinear equations to be solved. Therefore, numerical methods are widely used. For periodic forced response analysis of nonlinear systems, generally Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) or Describing Function Method (DFM), which transform the nonlinear differential equations into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations, ar...
