“…In fact, interest has been shown for the energy of a system that is governed by a Mathieu equation in the study of a pendulum submitted to wave excitations in [28,47,1] and finds a direct application in the extraction of energy from waves and heave, as also discussed earlier by [17,16]. In the same way, capsizing and rolling motions of ships under stochastic wave excitation can also be assimilated to similar oscillators and are studied by Moshchuk and Troesch in [27,39].…”

a b s t r a c tA linear oscillator simultaneously subjected to stochastic forcing and parametric excitation is considered. The time required for this system to evolve from a low initial energy level until a higher energy state for the first time is a random variable. Its expectation satisfies the Pontryagin equation of the problem, which is solved with the asymptotic expansion method developed by Khasminskii. This allowed deriving closed-form expressions for the expected first passage time. A comprehensive parameter analysis of these solutions is performed. Beside identifying the important dimensionless groups governing the problem, it also highlights three important regimes which are called incubation, multiplicative and additive because of their specific features. Those three regimes are discussed with the parameters of the problem.

“…For this class of oscillators, the concept of total internal energy plays a central role. It finds applications in wave energy harvesting [5][6][7][8], capsizing and rolling motions of ships under stochastic wave excitation [9,10] and several other biological applications such as protein folding [11]. Using the appropriate non-dimensionalization and discarding the nonlinear governing components, the governing equations of a large number of applications can be cast under the format of Equation (1) where u(t) and w(t) are stochastic processes.…”

a b s t r a c tThis work focuses on the stochastic version of the linear Mathieu oscillator with both forced and parametric excitations of small intensity. In this quasi-Hamiltonian oscillator, the concept of energy stored in the oscillator plays a central role and is studied through the first passage time, which is the time required for the system to evolve from a given initial energy to a target energy. This time is a random variable due to the stochastic nature of the loading. The average first passage time has already been studied for this class of oscillator. However, the spread has only been studied under purely parametric excitation. Extending to combinations of both forcing and parametric excitations, this work provides a closed-form solution and a thorough analytical study of the coefficient of variation of the first passage time of the energy in this system. Simple asymptotic solutions are also derived in some particular ranges of parameters corresponding to different regimes.

“…Recently the authors have published a number of papers where a stochastic excitation has been used to model the parametrically excited pendulum behavior under more realistic loading [22][23][24][25][26]. Namely, a harmonic excitation with a mean frequency and random phase modulations has been used to generate a sea like waves with a proper spectrum (Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum was used).…”

The paper investigates the dynamics of a novel wave energy converter based on the parametrically excited pendulum. The herein developed concept of the parametric pendulum allows reducing the influence of the gravity force thereby significantly improving the device performance at a regular sea state, which could not be achieved in the earlier proposed original point-absorber design. The suggested design of a wave energy converter achieves a dominant rotational motion without any additional mechanisms, like a gearbox, or any active control involvement. Presented numerical results of deterministic and stochastic modeling clearly reflect the advantage of the proposed design. A set of experimental results confirms the numerical findings and validates the new design of a parametric pendulum based wave energy converter. Power harvesting potential of the novel device is also presented.
