Multiple Hysteresis Jump Resonance in a Class of Forced Nonlinear Circuits and Systems

In this paper, a new class of systems with nonclassical jump resonance behavior is presented. Although jump resonance has been widely studied in the literature, this contribution refers to systems presenting a multiple hysteresis jump resonance phenomenon, meaning that the frequency response of the system presents more hysteresis windows nested within the same range of frequency. The analytical conditions for observing this type of behavior are derived and a design strategy to obtain multiple hysteresis jump resonance in circuits and systems presented.
