Abstract
The purpose of this short paper is to show that equations of non-linea r vibrations whose linear parts involve two coefficient matrices can b e simplified so that the linear portions become uncoupled. Equivalence transformations are utilized in the simplification, which can substan tially streamline any subsequent analysis. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
