In this paper, multi-valued responses and dynamic properties of a nonlinear vibro-impact system with a unilateral nonzero offset barrier are studied. Based on the Krylov-Bogoliubov averaging method and Zhuravlev non-smooth trans- formation, the frequency response, stability conditions, and the equation of backbone curve are derived. Results show that in some conditions impact system may have two or four steady-state solutions, which are interesting and not mentioned for a vibro-impact system with the existence of frequency island phenomena. Then, the classification of the steady-state solutions is discussed, and it is shown that the nontrivial steady-state solutions may lose stability by saddle node bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, a criterion for avoiding the jump phenomenon is derived and verified. Lastly, it is found that the distance between the system's static equilibrium position and the barrier can lead to jump phenomenon under hardening type of nonlinearity stiffness.
In this paper,we consider the response analysis of a Duffing-Rayleigh system with fractional derivative under Gaussian white noise excitation.A stochastic averaging procedure for this system is developed by using the generalized harmonic functions.First,the system state is approximated by a diffusive Markov process.Then,the stationary probability densities are derived from the averaged Ito stochastic differential equation of the system.The accuracy of the analytical results is validated by the results from the Monte Carlo simulation of the original system.Moreover,the effects of different system parameters and noise intensity on the response of the system are also discussed.
