The nonlinear responses of a single-degree-of-freedom system with two pendulum tuned mass dampers under horizontal sinusoidal excitation are investigated. In the theoretical analysis, van der Pol’s method is applied to determine the expressions for the frequency response curves. In the numerical results, the differences between the responses in single- and dual-pendulum systems are shown. A pitchfork bifurcation occurs followed by mode localization where both identical pendula vibrate at constant but different amplitudes. Hopf bifurcations occur, and then amplitude- and phase-modulated motions including chaotic vibrations appear in the identical dual-pendulum system. The Lyapunov exponents are calculated to prove the occurrence of chaotic vibrations. In a nonidentical dual-pendulum system, a perturbed pitchfork bifurcation occurs and saddle-node bifurcation points appear instead of pitchfork bifurcation points. Hopf bifurcations and amplitude- and phase-modulated motions also appear. The deviation of the tuning condition is also investigated by showing the frequency response curves and bifurcation sets. The numerical simulations are shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical results. In experiments, the imperfections of the two pendula were taken into consideration, and the validity of the theoretical analysis was confirmed.
