The concept of linear systems with random coefficients is used to obtain an analytical approximation of the power spectral density (PSD) function of the response of an oscillator with non-linear inertia, damping and stiffness terms. To identify the parameters involved in the non-linear terms, a proc

β¦ Synopsis
An oscillator with a non-linear restoring force and a small linear damping under wide-band random excitation is considered. A modified Van Der Pol transformation with a suitable amplitude dependent frequency, is used to transform the original system into a first order vector system to which the stochastic averaging method (SAM) and its higher approximations apply, despite the presence of a large non-linear term. The averaged equations are derived in the Appendix by using a two-timescale approach after performing a random time change which depends on the solution. An efficient equivalent linear system with random coefficients is then proposed from which the power spectral density (PSD) is deduced. The use of corrective terms yields to an approximation of the PSD in the region of the third harmonic resonant frequency (as well as at higher harmonics). The analytical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

A power-series method is presented for the analysis of a conservative strongly non-linear two-degree-of-freedom (d.o.f.) system with cubic non-linearity. The method is based on transforming the time variable into an harmonically oscillating time whereby the governing di!erential equations become wel
The new idea of calculation of limit cycles of strongly non-linear systems and its several numerical examples were presented in [1]. It is interesting to study the calculation of limit cycles of non-linear systems further, however some defects have been found in [1].
The semi-stable limit cycle and bifurcation of strongly non-linear oscillators of the form xK #g(x)" f (x, xR , )xR is studied by the perturbation-incremental method. Firstly, the ordinary di!erential equation is transformed into an integral equation by a non-linear time transformation, then the ini
