We compare two approaches for determining the normal forms of Hopf bifurcations in retarded nonlinear dynamical systems; namely, the method of multiple scales and a combination of the method of normal forms and the center-manifold theorem. To describe and compare the methods without getting involved in the algebra, we consider three examples: a scalar equation, a single-degree-of-freedom system, and...
Perturbation techniques and spectral moments are combined tocharacterize and quantify the damping and nonlinear parameters of thefirst mode of a three-beam two-mass frame. The frame is excitedharmonically near twice its lowest natural frequency. The response ismodeled with a second-order nonlinear equation with quadratic and cubicterms and linear and quadratic damping terms. The method of multiplescales...
