Depending on the functional form of the specifications, the system of equations comprising Equations 4.1, 4.2, and the specifications may be nonlinear. Nonlinear equations are solved by iterative methods such as the Newton-Raphson method. The solution method is illustrated in Example 4.3. 

Any system that is not linear is nonlinear. Nonlinear equations are, generally, far more difficult to solve than linear equations but there are techniques by which some special cases can be solved for an exact answer. For other cases, there may not be any solutions (which is even true about linear systems ), or those solutions may only be obtainable using a numerical method similar to those for single-variable equations. As you might imagine, these will be considerably more complicated on a multiple-variable system than on a single equation, so it is recommended that you use a computer program if the equations get too nasty. 

Problem Statement In Chapter 5, a system involving multiple CSTR steady states is shown (the isola example). Multiple steady states often arise in isothermal constructions when the kinetics is nonlinear. Nonlinearity is also often introduced in nonisothermal systems (i.e., in adiabatic systems, for example), and thus multiple steady states appear in these systems as well this is true even with simple kinetics. Consider an adiabatic reaction of the following form (Hildebrandt et al. 1990) ... 

Nonlinear bond graph models may be created and processed by CAMP-G in conjunction with Simulink and S-functions. Bond graph elements may be hnear or nonlinear. Nonlinear constitutive element equations will have to be added to files generated by CAMP-G before a simulation mn can be performed by Simulink. 

The Tg values move towards higher temperatures in the order of PI(3,3,4, 4 -0DPA)< PI(2,3,3, 4 -0DPA )< PI(2,2, 3,3 -ODPA). This is rationalized in terms of restriction of internal rotation around the ether linkage between the phthalimides, as seen in the polyimides from BPDA. The rotation axes of the two aromatic rings of 2,2, 3,3 -ODPA are nearly perpendicular, and the rotation is strongly resisted. The polyimide structure is therefore nonlinear nonlinear... 

Nonlinearity typically arises because of material or geometric nonlinearities. Nonlinearity makes the problem more difficult because the geometry, support conditions, and material properties required for the equilibrium equations are not known until the solution is known. The solution cannot be obtained in a single step and some sort of iterative solution must be used, together with a relevant convergence test. In a nonlinear analysis, the principle of superposition cannot be applied and a separate analysis is required for each load case.
