Abstract

Nonlinearity is a topic which is difficult to avoid as all structures encountered in practice are nonlinear to some degree, the nonlinearity often being a function of factors such as boundary/initial conditions, material properties, previous history, excitation levels etc. Nonlinearity can occur in a global (eg material nonlinearity) or a local sense (eg joints/interfaces).
