Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of a two-degree-of-freedom mechanical system is considered. This system consists of a linear oscillator under the action of a time-periodic force and a snap-through truss, which acts as an absorber of the forced oscillations of the linear main system. The forced oscillations of the snap-through truss close to its equilibrium position are analyzed by the multiple scales method.
