Combining the harmonic balance method with the incremental harmonic balance approach, an improved incremental harmonic balance method is presented to obtain the higher-order approximate steady-state solutions for strongly nonlinear systems, which can simplify the calculation process for high-order nonlinear terms. Taking a strongly nonlinear Duffing oscillator with cubic nonlinearity and a strongly nonlinear Duffing oscillator with quintic nonlinearity as examples, the forced vibrations under harmonic excitation are investigated. Based on the first-order approximate analytical solutions obtained by the harmonic balance method, the higher-order approximate solutions are obtained by the improved incremental harmonic balance method. The correctness of the approximate analytical results is verified by the numerical results. The comparison results show that the approximations obtained by the improved incremental harmonic balance method agree with the numerical solutions well, and the improved method is effective to analyze the dynamical response for strongly nonlinear systems.

The efficiency and accuracy of common time and frequency domain methods that are used to simulate the response of a rotor system with malfunctions are compared and analyzed. The Newmark method and the incremental harmonic balance method are selected as typical representatives of time and frequency domain methods, respectively. To improve the simulation efficiency, the fixed interface component mode synthesis approach is combined with the Newmark method and the receptance approach is combined with the incremental harmonic balance method. Numerical simulations are performed for rotor systems with single and double frequency excitations. The inherent characteristic that determines the efficiency of the two methods is analyzed. The results of the analysis indicated that frequency domain methods are suitable single and double frequency excitation rotor systems, whereas time domain methods are more suitable for multifrequency excitation rotor systems.
