Ke. Thylwe et E. Gravador, NONPERTURBATIVE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF PERIODIC RESPONSES IN DRIVEN NONLINEAR OSCILLATORS, Journal of sound and vibration, 182(2), 1995, pp. 191-207
A linear stability theory for non-linear periodic solutions is present
ed in which higher order phase-integral asymptotic approximations are
used. The stability matrix is derived in an exact formalism which comb
ines Floquet and phase-integral theory. The periodic responses are ass
umed given in analytic forms which are accurate in the strongly non-li
near regime of system parameters.
