The research involves experimental analytical and theoretical              methods in the study of chaotic vibration in a nonlinear system                 described by Duffing's equation.  Emphasis is on nonlinear vibration            analysis.  Energy concepts are explored as a way to derive chaotic              criteria.  The relationships are investigated between the energy                levels of the states of periodic motion and the equation parameters:            damping, and the amplitude and frequency of the forcing function.                    This project is one supported under the Creativity Awards for              Undergraduate Engineering Students.
