2. Benchmark solution#

We are interested in the calculation of periodic solutions of the system thus characterizing the non-linear mode.

2.1. Calculation method#

To solve the system, we use the EHMAN [1] method. We try to follow the branch of periodic solutions starting from the first mode of the underlying linear system.

2.2. Reference quantities and results#

The reference quantities chosen are the frequency-energy pair and the stability of the periodic solution obtained.

A periodic solution is found for the frequency-energy pair such as:

\(5.2\mathit{Hz}<f<5.5\mathit{Hz}\) and \(7{10}^{-5}J<E<8{10}^{-5}J\)

2.3. Uncertainties about the solution#

Non-regression solution.
