Modal analysis is extensively used to study dynamic behaviour of linear mechanical structures. The extension of this tool to non-linear structures is examined here, using Volterra functional series which generalises the superposition principle and permits to obtain impulse responses and transfer fun

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, a new form of Modal series is used to obtain the transient time-domain response of oscillators. It is applicable to n-dimensional systems and is not dependent on the existence of a small parameter in circuit's model. In addition, it provides an approximate analytical expression for the transient response instead of numerical solutions. It is valuable since the transient response of oscillators is not frequency stationary and therefore the FFT of numerical methods may not be so useful. The Colpitts oscillator is selected as a case study and a closed-form expression for its transient response is derived which approximates the real response up to the steady state.

Higher order frequency response functions, based on the Volterra series, are employed to represent the input-output characteristics of the Duffing oscillator subject to sinusoidal excitation. From these a series representation of a first order frequency response function of the non-linear system is
