Stochastic responses of lightly nonlinear vibroimpact system with inelastic impact subjected to external Poisson white noise excitation

A procedure for analyzing stationary responses of lightly nonlinear vibroimpact system with inelastic impact subjected to external Poisson white noise excitation is proposed. First, the original vibroimpact system is transformed to a new system without velocity jump in terms of the Zhuravlev nonsmooth coordinate transformation and the Dirac delta function. Second, the averaged generalized Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation for transformed system under parametric excitation of Poisson white noise is derived by stochastic averaging method. Third, the averaged generalized FPK equation is solved by using the perturbation technique and inverse transformation of the Zhuravlev nonsmooth coordinate transformation to obtain the approximately stationary solutions for response probability density functions of original vibroimpact system. Last, analytical and numerical results for two typical lightly nonlinear vibroimpact systems are presented to assess the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is found that they are in good agreement and the proposed method is quite effective.
