Abstract
Certain nonlinear phenomena can occur only with systems having multiple degrees of freedom. Thus, nonlinear interaction requires the presence of at least two components that can interact. In this chapter we shall consider only 2-DOF systems, since these will suffice for illustrating important properties of nonlinear multiple-DOF systems in general. A 2-DOF model typically arises as an approximation to a real multiple-DOF or continuous system, for which a single-DOF model fails to describe the behavior to be studied.
