Abstract
It is shown that a transformation of time can allow the periodic solution of a strongly nonlinear oscillator to be written as a simple cosine function. This enables the stability of strongly nonlinear normal modes in multidegree of freedom systems to be investigated by standard procedures such as harmonic balance.
