Nonlinear Vibrations of Cantilever Beams and Plates

A study of the nonlinear vibrations of metallic cantilever beams and plates subjected to transverse harmonic excitations is presented. Both experimental and theoretical results are presented. The primary focus is however on the transfer of energy between widely spaced modes via modulation. This phen...
