This work develops a perturbation approach to the estimation and propagation of states in nonlinear dynamical systems with uncertainties in both the process model and output measurements. The state estimation error and statistical moments are propagated in time through a regular perturbation method in an artificial ordering parameter λ, while the state updating occurs through a linear update eq...

An approach combining the method of moment equations and the statistical linearization technique is proposed for analysis of the response of non-linear mechanical systems to random excitation. The adaptive statistical linearization procedure is developed for obtaining a more accurate mean square of responses. For these, a Duffing oscillator and an oscillator with cubic non-linear damping subjec...

We show how to achieve large-amplitude oscillation and good frequency stability in a nonlinear NEMS oscillator by using a softening nonlinearity to locally balance the hardening behaviour of the Duffing nonlinearity for a given motion amplitude. The case when the softening behaviour is obtained via electrostatic biasing is theoretically investigated, under parallel-plate assumptions, for a full...

The dynamics of a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system consisting of a grounded Duffing oscillator coupled to an essentially nonlinear attachment is examined in the present study. The underlying Hamiltonian system is first considered, and its nonlinear normal modes are computed using numerical continuation and gathered in a frequencyenergy plot. Based on these results, the damped system is th...

In this paper, we investigate the synchronization of chaotic systems consisting of non-identical parametrically excited oscillators. The active control technique is employed to design control functions based on Lyapunov stability theory and Routh–Hurwitz criteria so as to achieve global chaos synchronization between a parametrically excited gyroscope and each of the parametrically excited pendu...

The dynamical response of an underdamped Duffing oscillator to a quasiperiodic force is investigated in the presence and absence of very weak additive noise. Particular attention is focused on the effect of noise on the characteristics of strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs). It is concluded that even extremely weak noise is sufficient to induce dynamical complexity in an SNA. PACS: 05.45.+b, 0...

In the present effort, a data-driven modeling approach is undertaken to forecast aperiodic responses of non-autonomous systems. As representative system, harmonically forced Duffing oscillator considered. Along with it, an experimental prototype studied. Data corresponding chaotic motions are obtained through simulations oscillators hardening and softening characteristics experiments bistable o...
