First, the viscoelastic force is approximately treated as equivalent terms associated with effects. Then, the free vibro-impact(VI) system is absorbed to describe the periodic motion without impacts and quasi-periodic motion with impacts based upon the level of system energy. The stochastic averaging of energy envelope(SAEE) is adopted to seek the stationary probability density functions(PDFs). The detailed theoretical results for Van der Pol viscoelastic VI system with the right unilateral nonzero offset barrier are solved to demonstrate the important effects of the viscoelastic damping and nonzero rigid barrier impacts condition. Monte Carlo(MC) simulation is also performed to verify the reliability of the suggested approach. The stochastic P-bifurcation caused by certain system parameters is further explored. The variation of elastic modulus from negative to zero and then to positive witnesses the evolution process of stochastic P-bifurcation. From the vicinity of the common value to a wider range, the relaxation time induces the stochastic P-bifurcation in the two interval schemes.展开更多
