A rotating beam subjected to a torsional excitation is studied in this paper. Both quadratic and cubic geometric stiffening nonlinearities are retained in the equation of motion, and the reduced model is obtained via the Galerkin method. Saddle-node bifurcations and Hopf bifurcations of the period-1 motions of the model were obtained via the higher order harmonic balance method. The period-2 and period-4 solutions, which are emanated from the period-1 and period-2 motions, respectively, are obtained by the combined implementation of the harmonic balance method, Floquet theory, and Discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The analytical periodic solutions and their stabilities are verified through numerical simulation.

AbstractThe exact analytical expression of the period of a conservative nonlinear oscillator with a non-polynomial potential, is obtained. Such an oscillatory system corresponds to the transverse vibration of a particle attached to the center of a stretched elastic wire. The result is given in terms of elliptic functions and validates the approximate formulae derived from various approximation procedures as the harmonic balance method and the rational harmonic balance method usually implemented for solving such a nonlinear problem.
