AbstractWe examined the complete short cadence sample of fundamental-mode Kepler RR Lyrae stars to further investigate the recently discovered dynamical effects such as period doubling and additional modes. Here we present the findings on four stars. V450 Lyr may be a non-classical double-mode RR Lyrae star pulsating in the fundamental mode and the second overtone. For the three remaining stars we observe the interaction of three different modes. Since the period ratios are close to resonant values, we observe quasi-repetitive patterns in the pulsation cycles in the stars. These findings support the mode-resonance explanations of the Blazhko effect.
