Abstract

Analytical derivations and numerical calculations are employed to gain insight into the parametric resonance of a stochastically driven van der Pol oscillator with delayed feedback. This model is the prototype of a self-excited system operating with a combination of narrow-band noise excitation and two time delayed feedback control. A slow dynamical system describing the amplitude and phase of resonance, as well as the lowest-order approximate solution of this oscillator is firstly obtained by the technique of multiple scales. Then the explicit asymptotic formula for the largest Lyapunov exponent is derived. The influences of system parameters, such as magnitude of random excitation, tuning frequency, gains of feedback and time delays, on the almost-sure stability of the steady-state trivial solution are discussed under the direction of the signal of largest Lyanupov exponent. The non-trivial steady-state solution of mean square response of this system is studied by moment method. The results reveal the phenomenon of multiple solutions and time delays induced stabilization or unstabilization, moreover, an appropriate modulation between the two time delays in feedback control may be acted as a simple and efficient switch to adjust control performance from the viewpoint of vibration control. Finally, theoretical analysis turns to a validation through numerical calculations, and good agreements can be found between the numerical results and the analytical ones.
