nonlinear mechanical oscillations

Nonlinear mechanical oscillations refer to the movement of a mechanical system that does not follow a linear relationship between the force applied and the resulting displacement. Instead, the system exhibits complex behavior such as chaotic motion or periodic patterns with varying amplitudes. The nonlinearity in the system can arise from factors such as friction, stiffness variations, or geometric constraints, leading to a more intricate and unpredictable oscillatory motion.
