Abstract：The objective of this study was to reduce vibration by the saturation control. Nonlinear beam dynamic model was established by using Hamilton’s principle of minimum potential energy principle. The frequency responding equation of nonlinear beam was solved with the multi-scale method. The nonlinear beam was saturated by adjusting the effective parameters. The vibration of the nonlinear beam was thus suppressed effectively.
