Abstract
This study investigated the stability of vibration in a nonlinear suspension system with slow-varying sprung mass under dual-excitation. A mathematical model of the system was first established and then solved using the multi-scale method. Finally, the amplitude-frequency curve of vehicle vibration, the solution's stable region and time-domain curve in Hopf bifurcation were derived. The obtained results revealed that an increase in the lower excitation would reduce the system's stability while an increase in the upper excitation can make the system more stable. The slow-varying sprung mass will change the system's damping from negative to positive, leading to the appearance of limit cycle and Hopf bifurcation. As a result, the vehicle's vibration state is forced to change. The stability of this system is extremely fragile under the effect of dynamic Hopf bifurcation as well as static bifurcation.
