A NURBS based Galerkin projection method for the numerical computation of nonlinear normal modes using invariant manifolds

In this report a NURBS based Galerkin projection method will be synthesised for the numerical computation of nonlinear normal modes using invariant manifolds. The computed nonlinear normal modes will be used to create a reduced order model that describes the single mode dynamical behaviour of a nonlinear vibrational dynamical system. The...
