It is well known that an autonomous dynamical system can have a stable periodic orbit, arising for example through a Hopf bifurcation. When a collection of such oscillators is coupled together, the system can display a number of phase-locked solutions which can be understood in the weak coupling limit by using a phase model. It is also well known that a stable periodic orbit can be found for a parametrically forced dynamical system, with the phase of the periodic orbit being locked to the forcing. Here we discuss the periodic solutions which occur for a collection of such parametrically forced oscillators that are weakly coupled together.Copyright © 2008 by ASME
