This paper studies the effect of horizontal and vertical fast harmonic parametric excitation on periodic self-excited motion in Van der Pol pendulum. The method of direct partition of motion is first applied to derive the equation governing the slow motion of the oscillator which is the main equation of vibrational mechanics. Then, a perturbation method is used on the slow motion equation to obtain...
