✦ Synopsis

This paper presents the experimental response curves of a bilinear vibrating system as produced by an electronic analog.

The existente of superharmonic and subharmonic components in the responses is shown. The relation between both superharmonics and subharmonics and the natura1 frequency range of the free vibrations of the system is suggested as a possible approach to an understanding of the mechanism for their (the harmonics) generation.

Numerical values of the circuit parameters for a particular "run" of the analog are given in an appendix.
