This paper deals with the forced response analysis of chains of thin elastic beams that are subject to periodic external loading and frictionless intermittent contact between the beams. Our study shows that the beams show nonlinear resonances whose frequencies are the same as the linear resonant frequencies if all the beams have the same stiffness. Furthermore, it is also shown that small gaps between the beams and small deviation or mistuning in the stiffness of each beam can cause drastic changes in the nonlinear resonant frequencies of the system dynamics. The system is modeled as a semidiscrete system of piecewise-linear oscillators with multiple degrees-of-freedom (DOF) that are subject to unilateral constraints, which is derived from a finite element discretization of the beams. The resulting equations of motions are solved by a second-order numerical integration scheme, and steady-state solutions are sought for various driving frequencies. Results of parametric studies with respect to the gaps between the beams and the number of beams are presented to discuss how these parameters affect the resonant behavior of the system.
