Abstract

An analytical solution, using the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation, is obtained for the problem of response of a non-linearly damped oscillator to combined periodic parametric and random external excitation. The solution yields first-order probability densities of amplitude and phase. These expressions are employed to distinguish between oscillations excited by external and parametric periodic forces in the presence of additional broadband random external excitation. Through decoupling of fast and slow motions an approximate expression is obtained for expected value of time to phase “switch”.
