n-dimensional Harmonic Balance Method extended to non-explicit nonlinearities
Keywords:
harmonic balance method, hypertime domain, unilateral contactAbstract
The harmonic balance method is widely used for the analysis of strongly nonlinear problems under periodic excitation. The concept of hypertime allows for the generalization of the usual formulation to multi-tone excitations. In this article, the method is applied to a system involving a nonlinearity which cannot be explicitly expressed in the multi-frequency domain in terms of harmonic coefcients. The direct and inverse Discrete Fast Fourier Transforms are then necessary to alternate between time and frequency domains in order to take into account this nonlinearity. The results show the efciency and the precision of the method.
