In [Chen et al., 2020], the third author and other coauthors studied global dynamics of the following system: [Formula: see text] in the parameter region [Formula: see text]. To study completely the piecewise linear system, we consider the parameter region [Formula: see text] in this paper. Firstly, we study the local dynamics, such as the bifurcations of equilibria (including the equilibrium at infinity). Secondly, the number and stability of limit cycles are studied completely. Then, we analyze the existence of upper and lower saddle connections and homoclinic loops. Moreover, we show that there are no heteroclinic loops in this parameter region. Finally, we give the bifurcation diagram and all global phase portraits on the Poincaré disc are given as well as some numerical examples.

A multiple harmonic balance method is presented in this paper for obtaining the aperiodic steady-state solution of a piecewise-linear system. As the method utilizes general and systematic computational procedures, it can be applied to analyze the multi-tone or combination-tone responses for the higher dimensional nonlinear systems such as rotors. Moreover, it is capable of informing the stability of the obtained solution using Floquet theory. To demonstrate the systematic approach of the new method, the almost periodic forced vibration of an articulated loading platform (ALP) with a piecewise-linear stiffness is computed as an example.
