An efficient frequency-domain method has been developed to analyze the forced response of large-scale nonlinear gas turbine structures with bifurcations. The method allows detection and localization of the design and operating conditions sets where bifurcations occur, calculation of tangents to the solution trajectory, and continuation of solutions under parameter variation for structures with bifurcations. The method is aimed at calculation of steady-state periodic solution, and multiharmonic representation of the variation of displacements in time is used. The possibility of bifurcations in realistic gas-turbine structures with friction contacts and with cubic nonlinearity has been shown.
