Abstract This work deals with forced vibration of nonlinear rotating anisotropic beams with uniform cross sections. Coupling the Galerkin method with the balance harmonic method, the nonlinear intrinsic and geometrically exact equations of motion for anisotropic beams subjected to large displacements, are converted into a static formulation. This latter is treated with two continuation methods. The first one is the asymptotic-numerical method, where power series expansions and Padé approximants are used to represent the generalized vector of displacement and the frequency. The second one is the pseudo-arclength continuation method. Numerical tests dealing with isotropic and anisotropic beams are considered. The natural frequencies obtained for prismatic beams are compared with the literature. Response curves are obtained and the nonlinearity is investigated for various geometrical conditions, excitation amplitudes and kinematical conditions. The nonlinearity related to the angular speed for prismatic isotropic beam is thus identified. The stability of the solution branch is exam-

1 Introduction Many studies have been performed for modeling the rotating flexible beams. The earlier linear analytical model to calculate the natural frequencies, based on the Rayleigh energy theorem, is attributed to Southwell and Gough [1] and has been extended by many studies based on different analytical methods, Putter and Manor [2], Wright et al. [3]. Later, complex models were developed to obtain accurate natural frequencies, introducing effects, such as the cross-sectional variation, Klein [4], and the pretwist Swaminathan and Rao [5]. Recently, other models have been developed for the vibration analysis of Timoshenko beams, including effects such as non-uniformity, pretwist and offset root [6, 7, 9]. In these models, the nonlinear terms are truncated and thus are valid for only linear vibration. A number of geometrically exact formulations for the nonlinear dynamics of beams were developed that can be used for nonlinear vibrations of beams; Borri and Mantegazza 1985 [10] Bauchau and Kang 1993
