Abstract
Most natural mechanisms and man-made devices are nonlinear, although linearity is often a good approximation and has been the basis for most engineering developments. In many devices the effects of nonlinearity become apparent only under high drive conditions, while other devices are inherently nonlinear and exhibit nonlinear effects, such as frequency doubling, for the smallest of drives.
