[en] The dynamics of the SmallSat, a real-life spacecraft possessing a complex isolation device with multiple nonsmooth nonlinearities is investigated. Experiments show that nonlinearities induce modal interactions between modes with non-commensurate linear frequencies. A model of the structure with a simplified description of the nonlinear connections is first built using techniques available in industry. Numerical continuation is then exploited to compute nonlinear normal modes and uncover interaction phenomena that can jeopardize the structural integrity.
