The nonlinear terms represented by Nq are defined as resonant if they correspond to an element in ˇthat contains a zero; hence such a term is also represented in Œnu . Conversely, if a term is non-resonant (i.e. it contributes to a harmonic) then the corresponding element inˇis non-zero, and hence the element in Œnu must be zero. This is expressed by the relationship defining element fi; `g of Œnu as Œnu i;` D ( Nq i;` if W ˇi;` D0; 0 if W ˇi;` ¤0: (12.14) Note that, whilst the harmonics are neglected here, they may be computed using the second-order normal form technique— see [13] for further details. It can be seen from Eq. (12.11) that the terms in ˇmay be separated into three categories: • Non-resonant, which are non-zero, regardless of the value of r, • Unconditionally-resonant, which are zero for all values of r, • Conditionally-resonant, which are only zero for specific values of r. Furthermore, from Eq. (12.11), it can be seen that, for this case, the conditionally-resonant terms become resonant for three different values of r, namely r D1=3, r D1 and r D3. Therefore, using Eqs. (12.11) and (12.14), the matrix of resonant coefficients, Œnu , may be found, from which Eq. (12.13) may be used to write
