Transient and Steady-State Responses of an Asymmetric Nonlinear Oscillator

Figure 5

System nonlinear dynamic behavior for parameter values of , , , . Here, (a) and (c) show the amplitude versus time response curves for which the solid black and the dashed black lines represent the numerical and the EBM solutions, respectively; (b) illustrates the percentage overshoot versus the driving frequency for damping values of , , and ; (d) and (e) exhibit the influence of the transient and driving frequencies on the nonlinear system motion by using the Continuous Wavelet Transform.
