 Summary:
 In addition to well-developed and well-known linear theory of oscillations of structures, there is an increasing need for taking into account the non-linearity in the studied system. This is imposed due to modern requirements in design. Causes of nonlinearities can be different in its nature. The emphasis in this paper will be the cases that take into account the asymmetry. It is taken into account those asymmetry which is coused by different structural elements stiffness in compression or tension, as well as the geometric asymmetry. The appropriate mechanical and mathematical model is formed using quadratic nonlinearities in the restoring force. It has been shown the exact analytical solutions of nonlinear forced oscillations by using Jacobi elliptic functions, which is a new result in this field. Also it has be given the appropriate relationship with the linear theory. This work has an educational character too, as it aims to contribute to the greater application of elliptic functions in engineering. Today, the application of these functions greatly facilitated using a symbolic software.
