Abstract

The moment Lyapunov exponents of a two-dimensional viscoelastic system under bounded noise excitation are studied in this paper. An example of this system is the transverse vibration of a viscoelastic column under the excitation of stochastic axial compressive load. The stochastic parametric excitation is modeled as a bounded noise process, which is a realistic model of stochastic fluctuation in engineering applications. The moment Lyapunov exponent of the system is given by the eigenvalue of an eigenvalue problem. The method of regular perturbation is applied to obtain weak noise expansions of the moment Lyapunov exponent, Lyapunov exponent, and stability index in terms of the small fluctuation parameter. The results obtained are compared with those for which the effect of viscoelasticity is not considered.
