Abstract

The first passage failure of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems with damping described by a fractional derivative is studied. The stochastic averaging procedure is applied to derive the averaged equations for first integrals. The conditional reliability function and the conditional mean of first passage failure time are obtained by solving the associated backward Kolmogorv equation and Pontryagin equation together with suitable boundary conditions and initial condition, respectively. One example of two coupled nonlinear oscillators with fractional derivative damping is given to illustrate the proposed procedure. The accuracy of the method is substantiated by comparing the analytical results with those from Monte Carlo simulation. Effects of some parameters of fractional order, damping coefficients and nonlinear strength on the system’s reliability are examined.
