Abstract

Dynamics of two coupled periodically driven oscillators is analyzed via approximate effective equation of motion. The internal motion is separated off exactly and then approximate equation of motion is derived. Perturbation analysis of the effective equation is used to study the dynamics of the initial dynamical system.
