We consider two coupled Duffing-vander Pol (DVP) oscillators with a nonlinear coupling and driven by an amplitude modulated (AM) signal. We numerically study the effect of nonlinear coupling (d), low and high-frequency components of AM signal for the cases of four types of potentials, namely, single-well, double-well, four-well and four-hump potentials. We show the occurrence of hysteresis and vibrational resonance (VR) for specific set of values of the parameters of the system. We characterize the phenomena such as hysteresis and VR by using bifurcation diagram and response amplitude (Q).
