Abstract

The stochastic dynamic responses of viscoelastic systems with real-power exponents of stiffness term under randomly disordered periodic excitations are studied. The assumed viscoelastic forces depend on the past history of motion via convolution integrals over an exponentially decaying kernel functions. The method of multiple scales is used to derive the equations of modulation of amplitude and phase. The changes of the shape of resonance curve are obtained with real-power exponents of stiffness term and viscoelastic parameters which are confirmed numerically. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that, as the intensity of the random excitation increases, the steady state solution changes from a limit cycle to a diffused limited cycle. Under some conditions, the system may have two steady state solutions and the phenomenon of jumps will happen between them under the random excitations.
