Abstract
The second-order closure method is used to analyze the nonlinear response of two-degree-of-freedom systems with quadratic nonlinearities. The excitation is assumed to be the sum of a deterministic harmonic component and a random component. The case of primary resonance of the second mode in the presence of a two-to-one internal (autoparametric) resonance is investigated. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain four first-order ordinary-differential equations that describe the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two modes. Applying the second-order closure method to the modulation equations, we determine the stationary mean and mean-square responses. For the case of a narrow-band random excitation, the results show that the presence of the nonlinearity causes multi-valued mean-square responses. The multi-valuedness is responsible for a jump phenomenon. Contrary to the results of the linear analysis, the nonlinear analysis reveals that the directly excited second mode takes a small amount of the input energy (saturates) and spills over the rest of the input energy into the first mode, which is indirectly excited through the autoparametric resonance.
