The spectral collocation method is used to determine the stability of parametrically excited systems and compared with the traditional transition matrix approach. Results from a series of test problems demonstrate that spectral collocation converges rapidly. In addition, the spectral collocation met

✦ Synopsis
In this paper a variational formulation of optimization problems for mechanical elements like bars or plates, subjected to a parametric excitation force, periodic in time is given. Objective functions characterizing the parametric resonance are introduced. The paper deals with the problem of "nding the control function*function of the shape (the area of cross-section of the beam or the thickness of the plate) which maximizes or minimizes one of the objective functions under the constraint of constant volume. In some cases the optimization problems under conditions of parametric resonance resolve into optimization problems with respect to natural frequency. The examples of variational optimization against loss of stability are solved and analyzed in the state of parametric periodic resonance.

A boundary tracing method is presented for the construction of stability charts for non-canonical parametrically excited systems. The method is an extension, so as to cover the combination resonances, of the well known Bolotin's method, and reduces the boundary tracing problem into an eigenvalue ana
A bounded feedback control for asymptotic stabilization of linear systems is derived. The designed control law increases the feedback gain as the controlled trajectory converges towards the origin. A sequence of invariant sets of decreasing size, associated with a (quadratic) Lyapunov function, are
