Abstract
The Mel'nikov-Holmes method is used to discuss the road to chaos for an elastic system with soft spring constant and under weak periodic disturbance. It is found that according to how the disturbance is applied, forced vibration or parametric excitation, the response may pass to chaos through different sequences of subharmonic bifurcations, and that the orders in the sequences may be different for different disturbance frequencies.
