Driven non-linear resonators can display sharp resonances or even multistable behaviours amenable to induce strong enhancements of weak signals. Such enhancements can make use of the phenomenon of vibrational resonance, ...

This paper describes the dynamical behavior of a nonlinear flexible beam (cubic nonlinearities considered) connected to a dc motor (responsible for the slewing motion) when the angular displacement of the slewing axis and ...

This paper concerns the effect that a stochastic resonance can have on a vibration isolation system. Rather than reducing the transmitted force, it is shown that it is possible to significantly mask the component of the ...

In this work, we study how a contact/impact nonlinearity interacts with a geometric cubic nonlinearity in an oscillator system. Specific focus is shown to the effects on bifurcation behavior and secondary resonances (i.e., ...

In Part II of this work, we investigated the dynamics of the shape memory oscillator, in the particular case of the secondary resonances. We used the equation of motion developed in Part I (Piccirillo et al., Nonlinear ...

In this paper, the equivalent circuit of the non-autonomous Josephson junction (JJ) is presented and the effect of the proper frequency on the phase φ is studied. We also study nonlinear resonance phenomena in the oscillations ...

In this work an analysis is performed on the nonlinear planar vibrations of a functionally graded beam subjected to a combined thermal and harmonic transverse load in the presence of internal resonance. Adopting the direct ...

We obtain existence of T -periodic solutions to a second order system of ordinary differential equations of the form u´´ + cu´ + g(u) = p where c ∈ R, p ∈ C(R,R^N) is T -periodic and has mean value zero, and g ∈ ...
