In this paper, periodic motions in the Mathieu-Duffing oscillator are analytically predicted through the harmonic balance method. The approximate, analytical solutions of periodic motions are achieved, and the corresponding stability analyses of the stable and unstable periodic solutions are completed. Numerical simulations are provided for a complete picture of coexisting periodic motions.

In this paper, the generalized harmonic balance method is presented for approximate, analytical solutions of periodic motions in nonlinear dynamical systems. The nonlinear damping, periodically forced, Duffing oscillator is studied as a sample problem. The approximate, analytical solution of period-1 periodic motion of such an oscillator is obtained by the generalized harmonic balance method. The stability and bifurcation analysis of the HB2 approximate solution of period-1 motions in the forced Duffing oscillator is carried out, and the parameter map for such HB2 solutions is achieved. Numerical illustrations of period-1 motions are presented. Similarly, the same ideas can be extended to period- k motions in such an oscillator. The methodology presented in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear vibration systems, which are independent of small parameters.

In this paper, analytical solutions for period-3 motions in the periodically forced softening Duffing oscillator are developed by the harmonic balance method. From the Hopf bifurcation of period-3 motions, period-6 motions can be analytically determined. Numerical simulations for stable period-3 motions are completed and the corresponding harmonic amplitude spectrums are presented.

In this paper, asymmetric periodic motions in a periodically forced, softening Duffing oscillator are presented analytically through the generalized harmonic balance method. For the softening Duffing oscillator, the symmetric periodic motions with jumping phenomena were understood very well. However, asymmetric periodic motions in the softening Duffing oscillators are not investigated analytically yet, and such asymmetric periodic motions possess much richer dynamics than the symmetric motions in the softening Duffing oscillator. For asymmetric motions, the bifurcation tree from asymmetric period-1 motions to chaos is discussed comprehensively. The corresponding, unstable and stable, asymmetric and symmetric, periodic motions in the softening Duffing oscillator are presented, and numerical illustrations of stable and unstable periodic motions are completed. This investigation provides a better picture of complex motion in the softening Duffing oscillator.

In this paper, periodic motions of a periodically forced, plunged galloping oscillator are investigated. The analytical solutions of stable and unstable periodic motions are obtained by the generalized harmonic balance method. Stability and bifurcations of the periodic motions are discussed through the eigenvalue analysis. The saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations of periodic motions are presented through frequency-amplitude curves. The Hopf bifurcation generates the quasiperiodic motions. Numerical simulations of stable and unstable periodic motions are illustrated.

In this paper, period-1 motions in a quadratic nonlinear oscillator under excitation are investigated by the generalized harmonic balance method. The analytical solutions of period-1 motion for such an oscillator are presented by the Fourier series expansions. The stability and bifurcation analysis of period-1 motion is carried out via eigenvalue analysis. To verify the approximate analytical solutions, numerical simulations are performed for a better understanding of the parameter characteristics of the period-1 solutions, and the stable and unstable periodic motions are illustrated. The analytical period-1 solutions are different from the perturbation analysis.

Several numerical approaches have been developed to capture nonlinear effects of dynamical systems. In this paper we present a mixed shooting-harmonic balance method to solve large mechanical systems with local nonlinearities efficiently. The Harmonic Balance Method as well as the shooting method have both their pros and cons. The proposed mixed shooting-HBM approach combines the efficiency of HBM and the accuracy of the shooting method and has therefore advantages of both.
