Abstract
Higher-order spectra (HOS) appear often in the analysis and identification of nonlinear systems. The auto-bispectrum is one example of a HOS and is frequently used in the analysis of stationary structural response data to detect the presence of structural nonlinearities. In this work we derive an expression for the auto-bispectrum of a multi-degree-of-freedom structure with quadratic nonlinearities. A nonlinearity detection strategy, based on estimates of the bispectrum, is then described. The performance of several such detectors is quantified using Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves illustrating the trade-off between Type-I error and power of detection (1-Type-II error).
