A drillstring used for the drilling of oil or gas wells behaves as a rotating torsional pendulum. The drillstring is rotated at a constant angular velocity by an electric motor, but exhibits superimposed torsional vibrations caused by a non-linear relationship between torque and angular velocity at

In the present work a geometrically non-linear model is presented to study the coupling of axial and torsional vibrations on a drill-string, which is described as a vertical slender beam under axial rotation. It is known that the geometrical nonlinearities play an important role in the stiffening of
