In this paper, we study the response of a linear differential equation, for which the damping coefficient varies periodically in time. We use Floquet theory combined with the harmonic balance method to find the approximate solution and capture the stability criteria. Based on Floquet theory the approximate solution includes the exponential part having an unknown exponent, and a periodic part, which is expressed using a truncated series of harmonics. After substituting the assumed response in the equation, the harmonic balance method is applied. We use the characteristic equation of the truncated harmonic series to obtain the Floquet exponents. The free response and stability characteristics of the damped system for a set of parameters are shown.

AbstractThe exact analytical expression of the period of a conservative nonlinear oscillator with a non-polynomial potential, is obtained. Such an oscillatory system corresponds to the transverse vibration of a particle attached to the center of a stretched elastic wire. The result is given in terms of elliptic functions and validates the approximate formulae derived from various approximation procedures as the harmonic balance method and the rational harmonic balance method usually implemented for solving such a nonlinear problem.
