The free and forced vibrations of a multi-rotor system where one section of the shaft has a nonlinear elastic characteristic are considered in this paper. For any frequency of steady vibration the system is reduced to an equivalent rotor at either end of the nonlinear section. The vibrations at all points are assumed to be one-term approximate solutions and the amplitudes of steady forced vibration are determined by a method outlined by the author in an earlier paper.
