Abstract

Vibrational power flow behaviour of the Duffing oscillator is investigated. A first order harmonic balance approximation is adopted to obtain analytical formulations of power flow variables. Using a Runge-Kutta method, power flows of the system undergoing sub- or super- harmonic resonances or even chaotic motions are derived numerically to reveal the corresponding power flow characteristics. The results obtained by using both methods agree well with each other when the excitation frequency is close to the linearized natural frequency. The effects of different parameters on power flows are examined. It is shown that the super-harmonic resonance introduces a large time-averaged input power and also a high level of maximum kinetic energy. It is also found that power flow quantities may become non-unique and sensitive to initial conditions. Some inherently nonlinear power flow characteristics are observed. The findings provide useful information for the designs of nonlinear vibration isolation systems.
