Abstract
Abstract Nonlinear normal modes of a buckled beam about its first buckling mode shape are investigated. Fixed-fixed boundary conditions are considered. The cases of three-to-one and one-to-one internal resonances are analyzed. Approximate expressions for the nonlinear normal modes are obtained by applying the method of multiple scales to the governing integro-partial-differential equation and boundary conditions. Curves displaying variation of the amplitude with the internal resonance detuning parameter are generated. It is shown that, for a three-to-one internal resonance between the first and third modes, the beam may possess either one stable mode, or three stable normal modes, or two stable and one unstable normal modes. On the other hand, for a one-to-one internal resonance between the first and second modes, two nonlinear normal modes exist. The two nonlinear modes are either neutrally stable or unstable. In the case of one-to-one resonance between the third and fourth modes, two neutrally stable, nonlinear normal modes exist.
