    Session 02 C1T2 Phenomena of Nonlinear Vibration

    This document discusses phenomena that can occur in nonlinear vibration systems but not in linear systems. These phenomena include: finite escape time where the state reaches infinity in finite time rather than approaching infinity as time approaches infinity in an unstable linear system; multiple equilibrium points where the steady state depends on the initial conditions rather than a single equilibrium point; and limit cycles where the system oscillates with a fixed amplitude and frequency regardless of initial conditions. Other nonlinear phenomena mentioned are subharmonic, harmonic and almost periodic responses to periodic inputs, chaos, and multiple modes of behavior or jumps between modes depending on input amplitude or frequency.

    • To understand the common nonlinear phenomena: finite escape
    time, multiple equilibrium points, limit cycle, sub-harmonic,
    super-harmonic and almost periodic response, chaos, multiple

    1.2 Phenomena of Nonlinear System

    Examples of essentially nonlinear phenomena are:

    Finite escape time: The state of an unstable linear system goes to


    infinity as time approaches infinity; a nonlinear system's state,
    however, can go to infinity in finite time.

    Multiple isolated equilibria: A linear system can have only one


    isolated equilibrium point; hence, it can have only one steady-state
    operating point which attracts the state of the system irrespective of
    the initial state. A nonlinear system can have more than one isolated
    equilibrium point. The state may converge to one of several steady-
    state operating points, depending on the initial state of the system.
    Limit cycles: For a linear time-invariant system to oscillate, it must
    have a pair of eigenvalues on the imaginary axis, which is a non-
    robust condition that is almost impossible to maintain in the
    presence of perturbations. Even if we do, the amplitude of
    oscillation will be dependent on the initial state. In real life, stable
    oscillation must be produced by nonlinear systems. There are
    nonlinear systems which can go into an oscillation of fixed
    amplitude and frequency, irrespective of the initial state. This type
    of oscillation is known as a limit cycle.
    Subharmonic, harmonic, or almost-periodic oscillations: A stable
    linear system under a periodic input produces an output of the same
    frequency. A nonlinear system under periodic excitation can oscillate
    with frequencies which are submultiples or multiples of the input
    frequency. It may even generate an almost-periodic oscillation, an
    example of which is the sum of periodic oscillations with frequencies
    which are not multiples of each other.
    Chaos: A nonlinear system can have a more complicated steady-
    state behaviour that is not equilibrium, periodic oscillation, or
    almost-periodic oscillation. Such behaviour is usually referred to as
    chaos. Some of these chaotic motions exhibit randomness, despite
    the deterministic nature of the system.

    Multiple modes of behaviour: It is not unusual for two or more


    modes of behaviour to be exhibited by the same nonlinear system. An
    unforced system may have more than one limit cycle. A forced
    system with periodic excitation may exhibit harmonic, subharmonic,
    or more complicated steady-state behaviour, depending upon the
    amplitude and frequency of the input. It may even exhibit a
    discontinuous jump in the mode of behaviour as the amplitude or
    frequency of the excitation is smoothly changed.
