A. Cardona et al., A MULTIHARMONIC METHOD FOR NONLINEAR VIBRATION ANALYSIS, International journal for numerical methods in engineering, 37(9), 1994, pp. 1593-1608
A multiharmonic method for analysis of non-linear dynamic systems subm
itted to periodic loading conditions is presented. The approach is bas
ed on a systematic use of the fast Fourier transform. The exact linear
ization of the resulting equations in the frequency domain allows to o
btain full quadratic convergence rate.
