This article addresses the bifurcation characteristics and vibration reduction of a \(2\) -DOF dynamical system simulating the nonlinear oscillation of an asymmetric rotor model subjected to simultaneous multiparametric and external excitations. To suppress the system's vibrations, two \(1/2\) -DOF active dampers are attached to the system in linear and cubic nonlinear forms via a magnetic coupling actuator. The closed-loop system model is derived as two differential equations with multi-control terms, including cubic, quantic, and septic, coupled nonlinearly to two first-order systems. Applying perturbation theory, the system model is solved, and the autonomous system describing the closed-loop slow-flow dynamics is obtained. Through numerical algorithms, the motion bifurcation is analyzed using various tools such as 2D and 3D bifurcation diagrams, two-parameter stability charts, basins of attraction, orbit plots, and time response profiles. The analytical investigations confirm that the uncontrolled model behaves like a hardening Duffing oscillator with multistability characteristics, displaying simultaneous mono-stable, bi-stable, tri-stable, or quadri-stable periodic oscillations depending on both the asymmetric nonlinearities and angular velocity. Subsequently, the influence of different control parameters is analyzed to determine the threshold between mono and multi-stability conditions. Finally, optimal control parameters are designed to eliminate multistability characteristics and achieve minimum and safe vibration levels.
