Abstract

The dynamic behaviors of two-degree-of-freedom Duffing system with cubic coupled terms are studied. First, the steady-state responses in principal resonance and internal resonance of the system are analyzed by the multiple scales method. Then, the bifurcation structure is investigated as a function of the strength of the driving force F. In addition to the familiar routes to chaos already encountered in unidimensional Duffing oscillators, this model exhibits symmetry-breaking, period-doubling of both types and a great deal of highly periodic motion and Hopf bifurcation, many of which occur more than once. We explore the chaotic behaviors of our model using three indicators, namely the top Lyapunov exponent, Poincaré cross-section and phase portrait, which are plotted to show the manifestation of coexisting periodic and chaotic attractors.
