β¦ Synopsis
A power series method is presented for the computation of normal modes and frequencies of an elastic beam resting on a non-linear foundation. The equation of motion is first discretized by using the Galerkin procedure. The time-dependent generalized co-ordinates are obtained by transforming the time variable into an oscillating time which transforms the discretized equations into a form solvable by the power series method. Results are obtained for simply supported and clamped beams, and good agreement is shown for the simply supported case with the result given by the invariant manifold approach.

The Karhunen}Loeve (K}L) decomposition procedure is applied to a system of coupled cantilever beams with non-linear grounding sti!nesses and a system of non-linearly coupled rods. The former system possesses localized non-linear normal modes (NNMs) for certain values of the coupling parameters and h

For a strongly non-linear multi-degree-of-freedom system, in general, one cannot consider one mode at a time as in linear modal analysis. In the absence of external excitation, the natural vibration often involves more than one mode at a time resulting in quasi-periodic or multi-periodic (toroidal)
In non-linear vibration theory, the concept of a ''non-linear normal mode'', similar to the ''normal mode'' in linear vibration theory, was introduced by Rosenberg [1-3]. It is used for studying the free oscillations of discrete as well as continuous undamped strongly non-linear systems. According t
