Abstract
Let us consider first the most simple nonlinear problem of energy transfer in the system of two weakly coupled nonlinear oscillators with cubic restoring forces (Fig. 1.1). Its linearized version is a widely used example of beating phenomenon. In this limiting case, due to superposition principle, every vibrational process can be presented as a combination of two basic oscillations corresponding to in-phase and out-of-phase linear normal modes. If the coupling between the oscillators is relatively weak and only one of oscillators is initially excited, the beat with a slow periodic inter-particle energy exchange is observed.
