The study of non-ideal dynamical systems when the excitation is influenced by the response of the system has been considered a major challenge in theoretical and practical engineering science research.

When the excitation is not influenced by the response, it is said to be an ideal excitation or an ideal source of energy. On the other hand, when the excitation is influenced by the response of the system, it is said to be non-ideal. Then, depending of the excitation, one refers to dynamical systems as ideal or non-ideal.

The behaviour of the ideal dynamical systems is well known in the current literature, but there are few results on non-ideal dynamical systems. Generally, non-ideal dynamical systems are those for which the powers supply are limited.

The behaviour of the dynamical systems departs from the ideal, as power supply becomes more limited. For a non-ideal dynamical system, one must add an equation that describes how the energy source “supplies the energy” to the equations that governs the corresponding ideal dynamical system and the response is unknown. Thus, as a first characteristic, the non-ideal dynamical system has one more degree of freedom than its ideal counterpart.

In this paper we discuss some topological properties of parametric non-ideal vibrations of a dynamical system, using Phase Portraits and associated Poincaré Maps.

This non-ideal dynamical model was mentioned by Kononenko [Kononenko, 1969] but these topological properties were not included in this classical book.
