The collective dynamics of an ensemble of globally coupled, externally forced, identical mechanical oscillators with cubic nonlinearity is analyzed, revealing the multistability of the ensemble. As the coupling strength grows, the solutions with two internally synchronized clusters are replaced by a state of full synchronization. The distribution of oscillators between the clusters and the relative prevalence of the two stable solutions are key factors in the system's behavior.
We analyze the collective dynamics of an ensemble of globally coupled, externally forced, identical mechanical oscillators with cubic nonlinearity. Focus is put on solutions where the ensemble splits into two internally synchronized clusters, as a consequence of the bistability of individual oscillators. The multiplicity of these solutions, induced by the many possible ways of distributing the oscillators between the two clusters, implies that the ensemble can exhibit multistability. As the strength of coupling grows, however, the two-cluster solutions are replaced by a state of full synchronization. By a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, we study the existence and stability of two-cluster solutions. The role of the distribution of oscillators between the clusters and the relative prevalence of the two stable solutions are disclosed.
