    Abstract

    This paper addresses the numerical computation of nonlinear normal modes defined as two-dimensional invariant manifolds in phase space. A novel finite-element-based algorithm, combining the streamline upwind Petrov–Galerkin method with mesh moving and domain prediction–correction techniques, is proposed to solve the manifold-governing partial differential equations. It is first validated using conservative examples through the comparison with a reference solution given by numerical continuation. The algorithm is then demonstrated on nonconservative examples.
