Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Turbocharger Rotor Supported on Rolling Bearing by Modified Incremental Harmonic Balance Method by Tangwei Li, Hulun Guo, Zhenyu Cheng, Rixiu Men, Jun Li, Yushu Chen

“…The vibration responses of the nonlinear system are obtained by the modified incremental harmonic balance (MIHB) method. The results demonstrate that the MIHB method significantly improves computational efficiency compared to the traditional fourth-order Runge–Kutta method for solving this class of problems while also being capable of obtaining complete solution branches of the system. …”
