Approximate Analytical Mean-Square Response of an Impacting Stochastic System Oscillator With Fractional Damping

Abstract

Abstract The paper deals with the stochastic dynamics of a vibroimpact single-degree-of-freedom system under a Gaussian white noise. The system is assumed to have a hard type impact against a one-sided motionless barrier, located at the system's equilibrium. The system is endowed with a fractional derivative element. An analytical expression for the system's mean squared response amplitude is presented and compared with the results of numerical simulations.
