Description

We consider a nonlinear mechanical system with one degree of freedom described by an exact model and then by a piecewise linear approximations of this model. We compare the global dynamic behavior of the exact model with that of the approximate model. An example shows that it is possible to describe complex behaviors with a rather reasonable accuracy.
