Using a set of geometric and physical properties for the system, the resonance frequencies, response functions and non-dimensionalised added virtual mass incremental (NAVMI) factors are calculated and investigated as a function of hydro-static pressure and fluid cavity height, providing novel fundamental insights into the physical system. We construct an experimental rig to embody the conditions of the analytical investigation for the purpose of validation and to uncover experimental insights into the physical problem. Finite element analysis (FEA), employing modal analysis and transient dynamic analysis, is used to further validate and extend the analytical insights while more accurately mirroring the experimental conditions. The response functions, resonance frequencies and NAVMI factors and their dependence on the cavity pressure were experimentally measured and numerically simulated, with direct comparisons made with the analytical model. A high degree of accuracy for the analytical model is validated, along with its ability to describe the underlying physical phenomena.

Then, system performance is theoretically evaluated by the steady-state probability density function under different external forces based on adiabatic approximation theory. Furthermore, the input energy is used as an index to measure the influence of system internal parameters on SR performance, which not only simplifies the metrics of stochastic processes in complex systems but also explains the physical nature of parameter-induced SR.
