| Abstract: | A Duffing oscillator frictionally interacting with a moving belt under a quasiperiodic load is studied. The multiple-scales
method is used to derive a system of two nonautonomous equations with small parameters, which describes the modulation of
vibrations. It is shown that the system of modulation equations has a heteroclinic structure. Melnikov functions are used
to analyze the domain of heteroclinic chaos
