The pulsating pressure waves are composed of fundamental frequency and higher order harmonics in exhaust pipe of engines. The nonlinearity in exhaust pipe is caused by their interactions. The error which is between prediction and measurement is induced by the nonlinearity. We can not explain this phenomenon using linear acoustic theory which is existing theory. So power spectrum which was used in linear theory is not useful. Bispectrum and bicoherence functions which are a higher order spectrum are applicable to explain this phenomenon. This paper proposes a nonlinear effect of pulsating pressure waves. The phenomenon proposed here is identified by using of higher order spectrum density functions.

This paper is concerned with the development of useful engineering techniques to detect and anlayse nonlinearities in mechanical systems. The methods developed are based on the concepts of higher order spectra. The study of higher order statistics has been dominated by work on the bispectrum. The bispectrum can be viewed as a decomposition of the third moment(skewness) of a quadratic phase coupling(QPC) can be analyzed by bicoherence function. Finally, the application of these techiques to data from actual mechanical systems will be performed insecond report.
