Several numerical approaches have been developed to capture nonlinear effects of dynamical systems. In this paper we present a mixed shooting-harmonic balance method to solve large mechanical systems with local nonlinearities efficiently. The Harmonic Balance Method as well as the shooting method have both their pros and cons. The proposed mixed shooting-HBM approach combines the efficiency of HBM and the accuracy of the shooting method and has therefore advantages of both.

Abstract A Wavelet-Galerkin procedure is introduced in order to obtain periodic solutions of multidegrees-of-freedom dynamical systems with periodic time-varying coefficients. The procedure is then used to study the vibrations of parametrically excited mechanical systems. As problems of stability analysis of nonlinear systems are often reduced after linearization to problems involving linear differential systems with time-varying coefficients, we demonstrate the method provides efficient practical computations of Floquet exponents and consequently allows to give estimators for stability/instability levels. A few academic examples illustrate the relevance of the method.

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation analysis of linear dynamical systems with relay feedback. The emphasis is on the bifurcations of the system periodic solutions and their symmetry. It is shown that, despite what has been conjectured in the literature, a symmetric and unforced relay feedback system can exhibit asymmetric periodic solutions. Moreover, the occurrence of periodic solutions characterized by one or more sections lying within the system discontinuity set is outlined. The mechanisms underlying their formation are carefully studied and shown to be due to an interesting, novel class of local bifurcations.

An index evaluation method is discussed in this paper. It can also serve as the basis of a procedure to locate all the zeros of a vector function. An application of the procedure is made to a strongly nonlinear point-mapping dynamical system in order to locate all the periodic solutions of period one and period two, 41 in total number.
