Degenerate bifurcation Analysis on a Parametrically and Externally excited mechanical System

A general parametrically and externally excited mechanical system is considered. The main attention is focused on the dynamical properties of local bifurcations as well as global bifurcations including homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations. In particular, degenerate bifurcations of codimension 3 are studied in detail. The original mechanical system is rst transformed to averaged equations using the method of multiple scales. With the aid of normal form theory, the explicit expressions of the normal form associated with a double-zero eigenvalue and Z2symmetry for the averaged equations are obtained. Based on the normal form, it has been shown that a parametrically and externally excited mechanical system can exhibit homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations, multiple limit cycles, and jumping phenomena in amplitude modulated oscillations. Numerical simulations are also given to verify the good analytical predictions.
