Abstract

We use the invariant normalization method to study nonlinear autonomous vibrations of a CO2 molecule near its stable configuration. If the frequencies of symmetric and deformation vibrations are related as 2: 1, then a third-order resonance occurs in the molecule. The simulation discovered the following two nonlinear effects: the energy transfer between modes of longitudinal and transverse vibration modes which participate in the resonance and the frequency splitting in the molecule spectrum; namely, instead of one line of symmetric vibration, there is a group of four closely located lines. These effects are known as the Fermi resonance phenomenon.
