Abstract
The perturbation-incremental method is extended to determine thebifurcations and limit cycles of strongly nonlinear autonomousoscillators with many degrees of freedom. Coupled van der Poloscillators and coupled Rayleigh oscillators are taken as numericalexamples. Limit cycles of the oscillators can be calculated to anydesired degree of accuracy. The stabilities of limit cycles are alsodiscussed.
