In this paper the forced vibrations of a linear, single degree of freedom oscillator (sdofo) with a time-varying mass will be studied. The forced vibrations are due to small masses which are periodically hitting and leaving the oscillator with different velocities. Since these small masses stay for some time on the oscillator surface the effective mass of the oscillator will periodically vary in time. Not only solutions of the oscillator equation will be constructed, but also the stability properties, and the existence of periodic solutions will be discussed.

A weakly nonlinear, single-degree-of-freedom cubic system subject simultaneously to a time-varying force and parametric excitation is considered. The various types of resonance phenomena exhibited by the system are classified and a detailed stability analysis is presented for one case of particular interest.

A new exact approach for analyzing free vibration of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems with nonperiodically time varying parameters is presented in this paper. The function for describing the variation of mass of a SDOF system with time is an arbitrary continuous real-valued function, and the variation of stiffness with time is expressed as a functional relation with the variation of mass and vice versa. Using appropriate functional transformation, the governing differential equations for free vibration of SDOF systems with nonperiodically time varying parameters are reduced to Bessel’s equations or ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients for several cases, and the corresponding exact analytical solutions are thus obtained. A numerical example shows that the results obtained by the derived exact approach are in good agreement with those calculated by numerical methods, illustrating that the proposed approach is an efficient and exact method.
