General two-degree-of-freedom dynamical systems with weak quadratic nonlinearities are studied. With the aid of an asymptotic method of analysis a classification of these systems is made and the more interesting subclasses are studied in detail. The study includes an examination of the stability of the solutions. Depending on the values of the system parameters, several different physical phenomena are shown to occur. Among these is the phenomenon of amplitude-modulated motions with modulation periods that are much larger than the periods of the excitation forces.

Abstract The natural modes of free vibrations of a symmetrical two-degree-of-freedom system are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. This system has two natural modes, one in-phase and the other out-of-phase. In contradistinction to the comparable single-degree-of-freedom system where the free vibrations are always orbitally stable, the natural modes of the symmetrical two-degree-of-freedom system are frequently unstable. The stability properties depend on two parameters and are easily deduced from a stability chart. For sufficiently small amplitudes both modes are, in general, stable. When the coupling spring is linear, both modes are always stable at all amplitudes. For other conditions, either mode may become unstable at certain amplitudes. In particular, if there is a single value of frequency and amplitude at which the system can vibrate in either mode, the out-of-phase mode experiences a change of stability. The experimental investigation has generally confirmed the theoretical predictions.

The stability of grazing bifurcation is lost in three ways through the local analysis of the near-grazing dynamics using the classical concept of discontinuity mappings in the two-degree-of-freedom vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints. For this instability problem, a control strategy for the stability of grazing bifurcation is presented by controlling the persistence of local attractors near the grazing trajectory in this vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints. Discrete-in-time feedback controllers designed on two Poincare sections are employed to retain the existence of an attractor near the grazing trajectory. The implementation relies on the stability criterion under which a local attractor persists near a grazing trajectory. Based on the stability criterion, the control region of the two parameters is obtained and the control strategy for the persistence of near-grazing attractors is designed accordingly. Especially, the chaos near codimension-two grazing bifurcation points was controlled by the control strategy. In the end, the results of numerical simulation are used to verify the feasibility of the control method.

Abstract In this paper, period-1 motions in a two-degree-of-freedom, nonlinear, machine-tool system are investigated by a semi-analytical method. The stability and bifurcations of the period-1 motions are discussed from the eigenvalue analysis. A condition is presented for the tool-and-workpiece separation in period-1 motions. Machine-tool vibrations varying with displacement disturbance from a workpiece are discussed. Numerical simulations of period-1 motions are completed from analytical predictions.

In this work, we study a class of dissipative, nonsmooth [Formula: see text] degree-of-freedom dynamical systems. As the dissipation is assumed to be proportional to the momentum, the dynamics in such systems is conformally symplectic, allowing us to use some of the Hamiltonian structure. We initially show that there exists an integral invariant of the Poincaré–Cartan type in such systems. Then, we prove the existence of a generalized Liouville Formula for conformally symplectic systems with rigid constraints using the integral invariant. A two degree-of-freedom system is analyzed to support the relevance of our results.

An important question facing a designer is whether a certain machine system will have a stable operating condition. To date, the investigations which deal with this question have been scarce. This study treats an elastic two-degree-of-freedom system with position-dependent inertia and external forcing. In Part I, the nonlinear equations of motion are derived and linearized about the system’s steady-state rigid-body response. The stability of the linearized equations is examined using Floquet theory, and a computationally efficient method for approximating the monodromy matrix is presented. A specific example is proposed and the results are presented in Part II of this paper.

In this paper, a new approach is proposed to analyze the behavior of a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom vibro-impact oscillator subject to a harmonic perturbing force, based on a combination of analytical and numerical approaches. The nonlinear governing equations are analytically solved by means of a new analytical technique, namely the Optimal Auxiliary Functions Method (OAFM), which provided highly accurate explicit analytical solutions. Benefiting from these results, the application of Schur principle made it possible to analyze the stability conditions for the considered system. Various types of possible motions were emphasized, taking into account possible initial conditions and different parameters, and the explicit analytical solutions were found to be very useful to analyze the kinetic energy loss, the contact force, and the stability of periodic motions.

Abstract The method of normal forms is used to study the nonlinear response of two-degree-of-freedom systems with repeated natural frequencies and cubic nonlinearity to a principal parametric excitation. The linear part of the system has a nonsemisimple one-to-one resonance. The character of the stability and various types of bifurcation are analyzed. The results are applied to the flutter of a simply-supported panel in a supersonic airstream.

In this paper, analytical solutions of periodic motions in a periodically forced, damped, two-degree-of-freedom oscillator with a nonlinear hardening spring are obtained. The bifurcation trees of periodic motions are presented, and the stability and bifurcation of the periodic motion are determined through the eigenvalue analysis. Numerical simulations of stable period-1 and period-2 motions in the two-degree-of-freedom systems are presented, and the harmonic amplitude spectrums are presented to show the harmonic effects on periodic motions, and the accuracy of approximate analytical solutions can be estimated through the harmonic amplitudes.

This paper presents a method for analyzing the stability of the linearly related modes of nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom oscillatory systems. For systems described by the coupled equations x¨1 = f(x1, x2) and x¨2 = g(x1, x2) there exist solutions related by the linear modal restraint x1 = cx2 where c is a constant. Such oscillations are not always stable. The method of this paper allows the prediction of the stability of the modes in terms of the amplitudes of the oscillations and the parameters of the equations of motion. Analog-computer results are presented which confirm the theoretical predictions.
