Abstract
The authors have investigated bifurcation behaviour in vibrating struc tures where the discrete branches of the trajectories in the phase pla ne are so close that it could easily occur that their discrimination w ould not be achieved. The analysis of such subtle bifurcations require d prior expectations of the response behaviour. It is hoped that their presentation will provide new tools in the analysis of defective stru ctures.
