Vibrations of a self-excited oscillator under parametric excitation with no
nlinear stiffness were investigated in this paper. Differential equation of
motion includes van der Pol, Mathieu and Duffing terms. Vibrations synchro
nization, stability of solutions were examined by means of the multiple tim
e scale method and Floquet theory. Chaotic solutions were found by means of
Lyapunov exponent.
