A Markov approximation of the energy of a class of lightly damped, nonlinear, single-degree-of-freedom oscillators subjected to modulated white noise excitation is derived using the stochastic averaging method. The solution of the associated forward Kolmogorov equation for the transition probability density function is presented. The merit of this solution is demonstrated by deriving the spectral density of the oscillator stationary response to step modulated white noise.
