The dynamics of two-degrees-of-freedom dynamical systems with weak quadratic nonlinearities is analyzed in the neighborhood of bifurcation points when the excitation frequency varies slowly through the region of primary resonance. The two modes of vibration are in 1: 2 subharmonic internal resonance. The slowly evolving averaged equations are numerically studied for motions initiated in the vicinity of stationary responses, and observations are made about the nature of responses of the system near the transition from single-mode to coupled-mode solutions (pitchfork points), and near jump and Hopf bifurcations in the coupled-mode solutions. An analytical technique based on the dynamic bifurcation theory is developed to explain the numerical observations for passage through the bifurcations. A numerical study is carried out to determine the effects of system parameters on the dynamics near the pitchfork bifurcation points and results are compared with analytical and numerical descriptions of dynamics.
