In this paper, we develop two wave-based approaches for predicting the nonlinear periodic response of jointed elastic bars. First, present a vibration approach (WBVA) studying systems informed by re-usable, perturbation-derived scattering functions. This analytical can be used to predict steady-state, forced bar structures incorporating any number and variety joints. As second method, Plane-Wav...
