Limiting Phase Trajectories

We study a problem of energy exchange in a system of two coupled oscillators subject to 1 : 1 resonance. Our results exploit the concept of limiting phase trajectories (LPTs). The LPT, associated with full energy transfer, is, in certain sense, an alternative to nonlinear normal modes characterized by conservation of energy. We consider two benchmark examples. As a first example, we construct an LPT and examine the convergence to stationary oscillations for a Duffing oscillator subjected to resonance harmonic excitation. As a second example, we treat resonance oscillations in a system of two nonlinearly coupled oscillators. We demonstrate the reduction of the equations of motion to an equation of a single oscillator. It is shown that the most intense energy exchange and beating arise when motion of the equivalent oscillator is close to an LPT. Damped beating and the convergence to rest in a system with dissipation are demonstrated.

The concept of limiting phase trajectories (LPT) has been introduced by one of the authors to describe intensive energy exchange between weakly coupled oscillators or oscillatory chains. It turns out that LPT can be considered as an alternative to nonlinear normal modes (NNMs), which are characterized by conservation of energy. LPT (in the introduced coordinates) describes the vibroimpact-type process with saw-tooth amplitude and a discontinuous derivative. It was shown earlier that this concept could also be extended to systems with one degree of freedom (DoF). In this case energy exchange between the oscillator and the source of energy can occur. In this paper, we generalize the above results in several ways, namely: (1) a consideration of the asymmetry of elastic potential; (2) a detailed description of the origin of vibroimpact-type behavior and the transition from nonresonant nonstationary oscillations to resonant ones (3) a direct application of obtained results to transient vibrations in strongly asymmetric 2DoF systems.
