(a) Displacement response for both the main () and the secondary system (). (b) Energy levels in the system ( total energy; kinetic energy; potential energy). Time is normalised with respect to the mean period . For this example the stiffness reduction ratio is and the mass ratio , giving a secondary to primary system frequency ratio .
