    Parametrically Excited Nonlinear Two-Degree-of-Freedom Systems with Repeated Natural Frequencies
    Nayfeh, Ali H.; Chin, C.; Mook, Dean T. (Hindawi, 1995-01-01)
    The method of normal forms is used to study the nonlinear response of two-degree-of-freedom systems with repeated natural frequencies and cubic nonlinearity to a principal parametric excitation. The linear part of the system has a nonsemisimple one-to-one resonance. The character of the stability and various types of bifurcation including the formation of a homoclinic orbit are analyzed. The results are applied to the flutter of a simply supported panel in a supersonic airstream.
