Abstract
A procedure for studying the first-passage failure of strongly non-linear oscillators with time-delayed feedback control under combined harmonic and wide-band noise excitations is proposed. First, the time-delayed feedback control forces are expressed approximately in terms of the system state variables without time delay. Then, the averaged Itô stochastic differential equations for the system are derived by using the stochastic averaging method. A backward Kolmogorov equation governing the conditional reliability function and a set of generalized Pontryagin equations governing the conditional moments of first-passage time are established. Finally, the conditional reliability function, the conditional probability density and moments of first-passage time are obtained by solving the backward Kolmogorov equation and generalized Pontryagin equations with suitable initial and boundary conditions. An example is worked out in detail to illustrate the proposed procedure. The effects of time delay in feedback control forces on the conditional reliability function, conditional probability density and moments of first-passage time are analyzed. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by digital simulation.
