Example 9: Subharmonic response of a Duffing oscillator
-------------------------------------------------------

MMS example on a Duffing oscillator subject to hard forcing triggering a subharmonic response. 
This configuration was studied by Nayfeh and Mook in *Nonlinear Oscillations* (1995), sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.4.

   Illustration of a forced Duffing oscillator. Subharmonic oscillations (of order 3) are triggered provided :math:`F` is large and :math:`\omega_0 \approx 1/3 \omega`.

The system's equation is

.. math::
    \ddot{x} + c \dot{x} + \gamma \dot{x}^{3} + \omega_{0}^{2} x = F \cos(\omega t),

where 

- :math:`x` is the oscillator's coordinate,
- :math:`t` is the time,
- :math:`\dot{(\bullet)} = \mathrm{d}(\bullet)/\mathrm{d}t` is a time derivative,
- :math:`c` is the linear viscous damping coefficient,
- :math:`\omega_0` is the oscillator's natural frequency,
- :math:`\gamma` is the nonlinear coefficient,
- :math:`F` is the forcing amplitude,
- :math:`\omega` is the forcing frequency.

A parametric response around 3 times the oscillator's frequency is sought so the frequency is set to

.. math::
    \omega = 3\omega_0 + \epsilon \sigma

where

- :math:`\epsilon` is a small parameter involved in the MMS,
- :math:`\sigma` is the detuning.

The parameters are then scaled to indicate how weak they are:

- :math:`c = \epsilon \tilde{c}` indicates that damping is weak,
- :math:`\gamma = \epsilon \tilde{\gamma}` indicates that nonlinear damping is weak.

Note that the forcing is not scaled, i.e. :math:`F` appears at leading order. This is called hard forcing.
