ABSTRACT
The Harmonic BalanceMethod (HBM) is one of the most often applied semi-analytic approximation methods in nonlinear dynamics. In earlier publications, the two coauthors already observed for the softening Duffing oscillator and other systems that especially low ansatz order HBM solutions may contain larger errors for some solution branches, and called this artifacts. In the present work, this problem is studied systematically with a new implementation of the method and applied again to the example of the softening Duffing oscillator. In conjunction with a mathematical definition for HBM artifacts we discuss and present possible a posteriori and a priori HBM error measures.
