HarmonicBalance.jl is a Julia package for solving periodic differential equations using the method of harmonic balance.

Installation

To install HarmonicBalance.jl, you can use the github repo or the Julia package manager,

using Pkg
Pkg.add("HarmonicBalance")

Documentation

For a detailed description of the package and examples, see the documentation.

This repo contains a collection of example notebooks.

Let's find the steady states of a driven Duffing oscillator with nonlinear damping, its equation of motion is:

using HarmonicBalance
@variables α ω ω0 F η t x(t) # declare constant variables and a function x(t)
diff_eq = DifferentialEquation(d(x,t,2) + ω0^2*x + α*x^3 + η*d(x,t)*x^2 ~ F*cos*t), x)
add_harmonic!(diff_eq, x, ω) # specify the ansatz x = u(T) cos(ωt) + v(T) sin(ωt)

# implement ansatz to get harmonic equations
harmonic_eq = get_harmonic_equations(diff_eq)

# solve for a range of ω
result = get_steady_states(harmonic_eq, (ω => range(0.9, 1.2, 100),
                                          α => 1., ω0 => 1.0, F => 0.01, η => 0.1))
A steady state result for 100 parameter points

Solution branches:   3
   of which real:    3
   of which stable:  2

Classes: stable, physical, Hopf, binary_labels
plot(result, "sqrt(u1^2 + v1^2)")
