Abstract

The stochastic bifurcations in a vibro-impact Duffing–Van der Pol oscillator, subjected to white noise excitations, are investigated. Bifurcations in noisy systems occur either due to topological changes in the phase space—known as D-bifurcations—or due to topological changes associated with the stochastic attractors—known as P-bifurcations. In either case, the singularities in the phase space near the grazing orbits due to impact lead to inherent difficulties in bifurcation analysis. Loss of dynamic stability—or D-bifurcations—is analyzed through computation of the largest Lyapunov exponent using the Nordmark–Poincare mapping that enables bypassing the problems associated with discontinuities. For P-bifurcation analysis, the steady-state solution of the Fokker–Planck equation is computed after applying suitable non-smooth coordinate transformations and mapping the problem into a continuous domain. A quantitative measure for P-bifurcations has been carried out using a newly developed measure based on Shannon entropy. A comparison of the stability domains obtained from P-bifurcation and D-bifurcation analyses is presented which reveals that these bifurcations need not occur in same regimes.
