In this paper, a generalization of the quadratic manifold approach for the reduction of geometrically non-linear structural dynamics problems is presented. This generalization is obtained by a linearization of the static force with respect to the generalized coordinates, resulting in a shift of the quadratic behavior from the force to the manifold. In this framework, static derivatives emerge as natural extensions to the modal derivatives for displacement fields other than the vibration modes, such as the Krylov subspace vectors. In the nonlinear projection framework employed here, the dynamic problem is projected onto the tangent space of the quadratic manifold, allowing for a much lower number of generalized coordinates compared to linear basis methods. The potential of the quadratic manifold approach is investigated in a numerical study, where several variations of the approach are compared on different examples, giving a clear indication of where the proposed approach is applicable.
