Abstract: In this paper based on [1]we go further into the study of chaotic behaviour of theforced oscillator containing a square nonlinear term by the methods of multiple scalesand numerical simulation. Relation between the chaotic domain and principal resonance curve is discussed. By analyzing the stability of principal resonance curve weinfer that chaotic motion would occur near the frequency at which the principalresonance curve has vertical tangent.Results of numerical simulation confirm thisinference.Thus we offer an effective way to seek the chaotic motion of the systems which are hard to he investigated by Melnikoy method.
