Abstract

We consider a damped quintic oscillator with double-well and triple-well potentials driven by both low-frequency force f cos (omega)t and high-frequency force g cos (Omega)t with Omega>>omega and analyze the occurrence of vibrational resonance. The response consists of a slow motion with frequency omega and a fast motion with frequency Omega. We obtain an approximate analytical expression for the response amplitude Q at the low-frequency omega. From the analytical expression of Q, we determine the values of omega and g (denoted as omega(VR) and g(VR)) at which vibrational resonance occurs. The theoretical predictions are found to be in good agreement with numerical results. We show that for fixed values of the parameters of the system, as omega varies, resonance occurs at most one value of omega. When the amplitude g is varied we found two and four resonances in the system with double-well and triple-well cases, respectively. We present examples of resonance (i) without cross-well motion and (ii) with cross-well orbit far before and far after it. omega(VR) depends on the damping strength d while g(VR) is independent of d. Moreover, the effect of d is found to decrease the response amplitude Q.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a theoretical / analytical, done in computer models (in silico), not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
