A method based on Hamilton’s principle and spectral analysis has been applied recently to nonlinear transverse vibrations of discrete systems with cubic nonlinearities, leading to calculation of the nonlinear free modes of transverse vibration and their associated nonlinear frequencies. The objective of the present work was the extension of this method to the nonlinear forced transverse steady-state periodic response of 2-dof system leading to nonlinear frequency response function in the neighbourhood of the two modes
