This paper is concerned with the development of useful engineering techniques to detect and anlayse nonlinearities in mechanical systems. The methods developed are based on the concepts of higher order spectra. The study of higher order statistics has been dominated by work on the bispectrum. The bispectrum can be viewed as a decomposition of the third moment(skewness) of a quadratic phase coupling(QPC) can be analyzed by bicoherence function. Finally, the application of these techiques to data from actual mechanical systems will be performed insecond report.
