<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The paper deals with the transformation of a weakly nonlinear system of differential equations in a special form into a simplified form and its relation to the normal form and averaging. An original method of simplification is proposed, that is, a way to determine the coefficients of a given nonlinear system in order to simplify it. We call this established method the degree equalization method, it does not require integration and is simpler and more efficient than the classical Krylov-Bogolyubov method of normalization. The method is illustrated with several examples and provides an application to the analysis of cardiac activity modelled using van der Pol equation.</p>

Some remarks on the application of the Hori method in the theory of nonlinear oscillations are presented. Two simplified algorithms for determining the generating function and the new system of differential equations are derived from a general algorithm proposed by Sessin. The vector functions which define the generating function and the new system of differential equations are not uniquely determined, since the algorithms involve arbitrary functions of the constants of integration of the general solution of the new undisturbed system. Different choices of these arbitrary functions can be made in order to simplify the new system of differential equations and define appropriate near-identity transformations. These simplified algorithms are applied in determining second-order asymptotic solutions of two well-known equations in the theory of nonlinear oscillations: van der Pol equation and Duffing equation.

Self-sustained sources coupled to some sort of resonator have drawn attention recently as a subject of nonlinear dynamics with many practical applications as well as interesting mathematical problems from the chaos theory and the theory of synchronizations. In order to mimic the self-sustainability arising from physical background the van der Pol equation is commonly used as a model (e.g. vortex induced noise, flowstructure interactions, vocal folds motion etc.). In many cases the sound field inside the resonator is strong enough for weakly nonlinear formulation based on the Kuznetsov model equation to be employed. An array of sources governed by the inhomogeneous van der Pol equation coupled to the nonlinear acoustic wave equation is studied. The one dimensional constant cross-section open resonator with zero radiation impedance is assumed. The focus is on the main features such as mode-locking, harmonics generation and build-up from infinitesimal fluctuations.

Some significant behaviors on strongly nonlinear vibrations are examined for a thin-walled cylindrical shell composed of the classical incompressible Mooney–Rivlin material and subjected to a single radial harmonic excitation at the inner surface. First, with the aid of Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, Lagrange’s equations and the assumption of small strains, a nonlinear system of differential equations for the large deflection vibration of a thin-walled shell is obtained. Second, based on the condensation method, the nonlinear system of differential equations is reduced to a strongly nonlinear Duffing equation with a large parameter. Finally, by the appropriate parameter transformation and modified Lindstedt–Poincar[Formula: see text] method, the response curves for the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency relations are presented. Numerical results demonstrate that the geometrically nonlinear characteristic of the shell undergoing large vibrations shows a hardening behavior, while the nonlinearity of the hyperelastic material should weak the hardening behavior to some extent.

Time-periodic perturbations of an asymmetric Duffing–Van-der-Pol equation close to an integrable equation with a homoclinic "figure-eight" of a saddle are considered. The behavior of solutions outside the neighborhood of "figure-eight" is studied analytically. The problem of limit cycles for an autonomous equation is solved and resonance zones for a nonautonomous equation are analyzed. The behavior of the separatrices of a fixed saddle point of the Poincaré map in the small neighborhood of the unperturbed "figure-eight" is ascertained. The results obtained are illustrated by numerical computations.

In this paper we discuss a theoretical technique for decomposing multi-degree-of-freedom weakly nonlinear systems into a simpler form — an approach which has parallels with the well know method for linear modal analysis. The key outcome is that the system resonances, both linear and nonlinear are revealed by the transformation process. For each resonance, parameters can be obtained which characterise the backbone curves, and higher harmonic components of the response. The underlying mathematical technique is based on a near identity normal form transformation. This is an established technique for analysing weakly nonlinear vibrating systems, but in this approach we use a variation of the method for systems of equations written in second-order form. This is a much more natural approach for structural dynamics where the governing equations of motion are written in this form as standard practice. In fact the first step in the method is to carry out a linear modal transformation using linear modes as would typically done for a linear system. The near identity transform is then applied as a second step in the process and one which identifies the nonlinear resonances in the system being considered. For an example system with cubic nonlinearities, we show how the resulting transformed equations can be used to obtain a time independent representation of the system response. We will discuss how the analysis can be carried out with applied forcing, and how the approximations about response frequencies, made during the near-identity transformation, affect the accuracy of the technique. In fact we show that the second-order normal form approach can actually improve the predictions of sub- and super-harmonic responses. Finally we comment on how this theoretical technique could be used as part of a modal testing approach in future work.

Abstract In this paper the fundamental concept (due to Euler, 1734) of how to make a first order ordinary differential equation exact by means of integrating factors, is extended to n-th order (n ≥ 2) ordinary differential equations and to systems of first order ordinary differential equations. For new classes of differential equations first integrals or complete solutions can be constructed. Also a perturbation method based on integrating factors can be developed. To show how this perturbation method works the method is applied to the well-known Van der Pol equation.
