Since a nonlinear feedback control system may possess more than one type of forced oscillations, it is highly desirable to investigate the type of forced oscillations which can occur when the nonlinear restoring force function is of a specific form. This paper presents a harmonic linearization method for finding the existence of forced oscillations and response curve characteristics of a nonlinear feedback control system by means of finding the restoring force function of the nonlinearity and using the harmonic balance and an iteration method for investigating the conditions for one type of forced oscillations exhibited. The existence conditions for fundamental frequency, sub-harmonic of 2nd order and 3rd order forced oscillations of a second order feedback control system are investigated; the fundamental frequency forced oscillation for a higher order system and the jump resonance frequencies of response curve are investigated, and a general expression for the equivalent gain of the nonlinearity has been developed.

The motion of mechanical systems undergoing rotation about a fixed axis has been the subject of extensive studies over a few centuries. These systems are generally subject to gyroscopic forces which are associated with coriolis accelerations or mass transport and render complex dynamics.The unifying theme among topics presented in this book is the gyroscopic nature of the system equations of motion. The book represents comprehensive and detailed reviews of the state of art in four diverse application areas: flow-induced oscillations in structures, oscillations in rotating systems or rotor dynamics, dynamics of axially moving material systems, and dynamics of gyroelastic systems. The book also includes a chapter on dynamics of repetitive structures. These systems feature spatial periodicity and are generally subject to considerable gyroscopic forces. “Gyroelastic systems” and “repetitive structures” are the topics with very recent origins and are still in their infancies compared to the other examples represented in this book. Thus, the contributions on gyroelastic systems and repetitive structures are limited to only modeling, localization and linear stability analysis results.This book covers many important aspects of recent developments in various types of gyroscopic systems. Thus, at last, a comprehensive book is made available to serve as a supplement and resource for any graduate level course on elastic gyroscopic systems, as well as for a course covering the stability of mechanical systems. Moreover, the inclusion of an up-to-date bibliography attached to each chapter will make this book an invaluable text for professional reference.

This book presents exact, closed-form solutions for the response of a variety of nonlinear oscillators (free, damped, forced). The solutions presented are expressed in terms of special functions. To help the reader understand these `non-standard' functions, detailed explanations and rich illustrations of their meanings and contents are provided. In addition, it is shown that these exact solutions in certain cases comprise the well-known approximate solutions for some nonlinear oscillations.

Oscillations of a gas-operated oscillator with restoring force are shown to be similar to the motion of the harmonic oscillator. The effects of a spin field are considered relative to the singularities of the system. An analysis is performed, including the effects of viscous damping and deriving amplitude and frequency as functions of time. (Author).
