Higher order stochastic averaging method is widely used for investigating single-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems subjected to white and coloured random noises.In this paper the method is further developed for two-degree-of-freedom systems. An application to a system with cubic damping is considered and the second approximation solution to the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation is obtained.

For many years the higher order stochastic averaging method has been widely used for investigating nonlinear systems subject to white and coloured noises to predict approximately the response of the systems. In the paper the method is further developed for two-degree-of-freedom systems subjected to white noise excitation. Application to Duffing oscillator is considered.

Straightforward Extension

A system with damping is much more difficult to model than an undamped system. In particular, the effect of damping on a multi-degree-of-freedom system is not a straightforward extension of the damped found in single-degree-of-freedom systems. The complications of a multi-degree-of-freedom system are first examined by investigating the acoustic modes of a pipe with energy leaking from one boundary. This system can be modelled exactly. It is found that individual modes of vibration cannot be separated and are always coupled by damping effects which may involve some modes being active and not passive. Furthermore if damping sinks are increased the damping ratios can either increase or decrease. The damping of systems with fewer degrees-of-freedom are then examined to determine how damping coupling behaves. It is found that a two-degree-of-freedom system exhibits increasing and decreasing damping values as the magnitude of a damping sink is varied.

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 traditional waterbomb origami, produced from a pattern consisting of a series of vertices where six creases meet, is one of the most widely used origami patterns. From a rigid origami viewpoint, it generally has multiple degrees of freedom, but when the pattern is folded symmetrically, the mobility reduces to one. This paper presents a thorough kinematic investigation on symmetric folding of the waterbomb pattern. It has been found that the pattern can have two folding paths under certain circumstance. Moreover, the pattern can be used to fold thick panels. Not only do the additional constraints imposed to fold the thick panels lead to single degree of freedom folding, but the folding process is also kinematically equivalent to the origami of zero-thickness sheets. The findings pave the way for the pattern being readily used to fold deployable structures ranging from flat roofs to large solar panels.

Comprehensive Study

Summary First essentials of classical flutter are demonstrated by a comprehensive study of the behaviour of a lifting surface with two degrees of freedom under the action of airforces limited to those in phase with displacement. Structural coupling between the coordinates is eliminated by taking the normal modes to be the deflection coordinates, and this results in conditions for stability with particularly concise forms. It is shown that the flutter stability can be seen to be very much a matter of the relative amplitudes of heave and pitch in the normal modes. In-quadrature airforces are then introduced and it is shown that they have little effect when the flutter is severe. They are of more importance in the milder forms of flutter, the extreme of which are shown to be little different from instabilities in a single degree of freedom.

Abstract The purpose of this work is to develop a unified approach to study the dynamics of a single degree of freedom system excited by both periodic and random perturbations. We consider the noisy Duffing-van der Pol-Mathieu equation as a prototypical single degree of freedom system and achieve a reduction by developing rigorous methods to replace, in some limiting regime, the original complicated system by a simpler, constructive, and rational approximation — a low-dimensional model of the dynamical system. To this end, we study the equations as a random perturbation of a two-dimensional weakly dissipative time-periodic Hamiltonian system. We achieve the model-reduction through stochastic averaging and the reduced Markov process takes its values on a graph with certain glueing conditions at the vertex of the graph. Examination of the reduced Markov process on the graph yields many important results, namely, mean exit times, probability density functions, and stochastic bifurcations.
