Bifurcation diagrams of the slowly evolving system for selected values of the excitation frequency, Ω. Bifurcations connected with the stability boundaries in force control space: S-N: saddle-node bifurcation; : first period doubling bifurcation; : second period doubling bifurcation; : escape load. η = 0.05, ε = 0, ω 0 = 1, and β = −1.
