Abstract
The moment Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov exponent of a two-dimensional system under stochastic parametric excitation are studied. A perturbation approach is used to obtain explicit expressions for these exponents in the presence of small intensity noises. Approximate analytical results for the pth moment Lyapunov exponents are compared with the numerical values obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The results are applied to the study of the almost-sure and the moment stability of the stationary solutions of the elastic beam subjected to the stochastic axial load. The boundaries of the almost-sure and the moment stability of the elastic beam as the function of the damping coefficient, spectral density of the stochastic force and mode number are obtained.
