Abstract
A nonlinear dynamical system is investigated which consists from a mass between two linear elastic connecting elements with different coefficients of stiffness. Laws of vibrations and characteristics of eigenvibrations of the system as well as of self-decaying vibrations of the system with damping and of the system with harmonic excitation are determined. Dynamical qualities of the system are revealed. It is shown that the system has infinite number of eigenfrequencies and that in the resonance zones multivalued stable and unstable motions do not exist in the system.
1. Introduction
Basic concepts of investigation of vibrating systems are presented in [1]. Stabilisation of periodic nonlinear systems is investigated in [2]. Frequency analysis of a typical system is performed in [3]. Pendulum mechanism is investigated in [4]. Nonlinear vibrations of a piecewise linear model are analysed in [5]. Multiple resonant zones are investigated in [6]. Sommerfeld effect is analysed in [7]. Isolated resonances are investigated in [8]. Dynamics of vibromotors is analysed in [9].

4. Conclusions
On the basis of the presented results the qualities of dynamic behavior of the nonlinear vibrating system which consists from a mass between two linear elastic connecting members with different coefficients of stiffness can be used in different engineering applications requiring the stability in a wide range of parameters.
The motions of the system and amplitude frequency characteristics are determined by analytical – numerical method relationships. It is determined that for the case of the conservative system eigenfrequencies do not depend on the value of the amplitude of excitation. It is shown that for the case of forced harmonic excitation stable and unstable multivalued regimes do not exist in the system. Also, separate classes of nonlinear dynamical systems are investigated which have qualities of similar type.
The presented results enable to perform the design of nonlinear vibrating systems of this type. This enables to create new systems which can be noted by high stability properties, because in the vicinities of resonances they do not have multivalued solutions.
