5 PREFACE Recently a large amount of research has been related to nonlinear systems having multidegrees of freedom, but hardly any of this can be found in the many existing books related to this general area. The previously published books emphasized, and some exclusively treated, systems having a single degree of freedom. These include the books of Krylov and Bogoliubov (1947); Minorsky (1947, 1962); Den Hartog (1947); Stoker (1950); McLachlan (1950); Hayashi (1953a, 1964); Timoshenko (1955); Cunningham (1958); Kauderer (1958); Lefschetz (1959); Malkin (1956); Bogoliubov and Mitropolsky (1 961); Davis (1962); Struble (1962); Hale (1963); Butenin (1965); Mitropolsky (1965); Friedrichs (1965); Roseau (1966); Andronov, Vitt, and Khaikin (1966); Blaqui6re (1966); Siljak (1969), and Brauer and Nohel(l969). Exceptions are the books by Evan- Iwanowski (1 976) and Hagedorn (1 978), which treat multidegree-of-freedom systems. However, a number of recent developments have not been included. The primary purpose of this book is to fill this void. Because this book is intended for classroom use as well as for a reference to researchers, it is nearly self-contained. Most of the first four chapters, which treat systems having a single degree of freedom, are concerned with introducing basic concepts and analytic methods, although some of the results in Chapter 4 related to multiharmonic excitations cannot be found elsewhere. In the remaining four chapters the concepts and methods are extended to systems having multidegrees of freedom. This book emphasizes the physical aspects of the systems and consequently serves as a companion to Perturbation Merhods by A. H. Nayfeh. Here many examples are worked out completely, in many cases the results are graphed, and the explanations are couched in physical terms. An extensive bibliography is included, We attempted to reference every paper which appeared in an archive journal and related to the material in the book. However omissions are bound to occur, but none is intentional. Many exercises have been included at the end of each chapter except the first. These exercises progress in complexity, and many of them contain intermediate steps to help the reader. In fact, many of them would expand the state of the art if numerical results were computed. Some of these exercises provide further references. Vii

6 Viii PREFACE We wish to thank Drs. D. T. Blackstock, M.P. Mortell, and B. R. Seymour for their valuable comments on Chapter 8, Fred Pearson for his careful reading of four chapters, and Drs. J. E. Kaiser, Jr., and W. S. Saric for their valuable comments on Chapter 1. A special word of thanks goes to our children Samir (age 7). Tariq (age lo), and Mahir (age 1 I) Nayfeh and Art Mook (age 16) and to Patty Belcher, Hazim Zibdeh, and Tom Dunyak for their efforts in checking the references. Many of the figures were drawn by Chip Gilbert, Joe Mook, and Fredd Thrasher, and we wish to express our appreciation to them. We wish to thank Janet Bryant for her painstaking typing and retyping of the manuscript. Finally a word of appreciation goes to Indrek Wichman, Jerzy Klimkowski, Helen Reed, Albert Yen, and Yen Liu for proofreading portions of the manuscript. Blacksburg.
