The paper presents a continuation of an effort started last year, when the authors briefly informed about the Non-linear normal modes (NNM) concerning the version dealing with discrete systems. Although many features of the continuous formulation from the mathematical viewpoint are similar to the discrete case, a couple of specifics should be highlighted from the viewpoint of a real applicability of this tool to investigate particular dynamic systems. Three approaches are mentioned in the paper and the GalerkinPetrov based procedure is outlined in more details. As a particular subject the cantilever prismatic beam is discussed. Non-linear normal modes for several amplitudes are shown to demonstrate the dependence of their shapes on the actual effective amplitude. Comparison with adequate linear counterpart is done.
