We investigate the dynamics of a system involving the planar motion of a ri
gid body which is restrained by linear springs and which possesses a skate-
like nonholonomic constraint known as Caplygin's sleigh. It is shown that t
he system can be reduced to one with 2 1/2 degrees of freedom. The resultin
g phase flow is shown to involve a curve of nonisolated equilibria. Using s
econd-order averaging, the system is shown to possess two families of nonli
near normal modes (NNMs). Each NNM involves two amplitude parameters. The s
tructure of the NNMs is shown to depart from the generic form in the neighb
orhood of a 1:1 internal resonance.
