This study concentrates to an effect usually called quasi-periodic response. Double degree of freedom (DDOF) spherical pendulum as an auto-parametric system is used to demonstrate and investigate this effect. Sweeping the excitation frequency throughout the auto-parametric resonance interval, various types of quasi-periodic response can be encountered. An analytical-numerical approach of these effects is developed using the original non-linear system. Relevant differential system in ''slow time'' is presented, which provides periodic, orbital and a few singular solutions separating basic response types. Numerical evaluation of typical cases and comprehensive parametric study are included. Some open problems are indicated.
The paper presents the results of numerical investigations of the overhead travelling cranes load motion. The model studies assumes that the load is suspended on the inextensible rope. Conversely, its motion is triggered by an external moment. In addition, energy losses in the construction node connecting the rope to the drum are included. At the same time these losses were mapped through a linear viscous damper. The main objective was to evaluate the impact of individual mathematical model parameters on the dynamics of the transported load. The results were compared between two models: with/without crane structure vibrations included. The results were illustrated by multi-colored maps of the largest Lyapunov exponent, bifurcation diagrams, and Poincare cross-sections.
