Abstract

The perturbation-incremental method is extended to determine the bifurcations and limit cycles of strongly nonlinear autonomous oscillators with many degrees of freedom. Coupled van der Pol oscillators and coupled Rayleigh oscillators are taken as numerical examples. Limit cycles of the oscillators can be calculated to any desired degree of accuracy. The stabilities of limit cycles are also discussed.
