SSMtool
SSMtool is an automated computational algorithm for computing two-dimensional spectral submanifolds (SSMs) [2]. The algorithm can handle non-conservative mechanical systems of arbitrary (finite) degrees of freedom. We used the parameterization method, allowing us to construct the SSMs, their reduced dynamics and corresponding backbone curves up to any required order of precision.
Addendum: Isolas (17 December 2018)
We have improved the core of SSMtool to handle systems with time-periodic forcing. We have used the exact reduced dynamics on two-dimensional time-periodic spectral submanifolds (SSMs) to extract forced-response curves (FRCs) and predict isolas in arbitrary multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems without performing costly numerical simulations [3]. We are currently implementing this improvement into SSMtool 2.0, which will be released in 2019.
