This paper addresses the identification of the spatial location of nonlinearities based on classical modal testing. Interpreting nonlinear systems as linear systems with a nonlinear feedback loop shows that the nonlinear contribution to the response and the nonlinear restoring forces are related through the linear frequency response function (FRF) matrix. Specifically, if the nonlinearity is localized, the response’s nonlinear part is intimately linked with the linear FRF at the nonlinearity location. Thus, processing input–output data measured under pseudorandom excitation, the nonlinearity location can be inferred from the comparison of the nonlinear part of the response with the different measured FRFs. A second approach, which provides a direct estimation of the nonlinear restoring forces at the different degrees of freedom, also utilizes the same relations. Both procedures are demonstrated numerically and experimentally.
•Two different nonlinearity location methods are proposed.•The differences between nonlinear response and orthogonal projections are analyzed.•The nonlinear response’s shape at each frequency is analyzed to locate nonlinearities.•The nonlinear restoring forces are also separately analyzed for localization.•The methods are demonstrated using synthesized and experimental data.
