dc.description.abstractA second-order system of differential equations containing a multifrequency parametric excitation and weak quadratic and cubic nonlinearities is investigated. The method of multiple scales is used to carry out a general analysis, and three resonance conditions are considered in detail. First, the case in which the sum of two excitation frequencies is near two times a natural frequency, λ<sub>s</sub> + λ<sub>t</sub> <u>~</u>2Ï <sub>q</sub>, is examined. Second, the influence of an internal resonance, Ï <sub>q</sub =<u>~</u>3Ï r, on the previous case is studied. Finally, the effect of the internal resonance w<sub>r</sub><u>~</u>3w<sub>q</sub> on the resonance λ<sub>s</sub> + λ<sub>t</sub> <u>~</u>2Ï <sub>q</sub> is investigated. Results are presented as plots of response amplitudes as functions of a detuning parameter, excitation amplitude, and, for the first case, a measure of the relative values of λ<sub>s</sub> + λ<sub>t</sub>.en
