In this paper, a mass-spring-friction oscillator subjected to two harmonic disturbing forces with different frequencies is studied for the first time. The friction in the system has combined Coulomb dry friction and viscous damping. Two kinds of steady-state vibrations of the system—non-stop and one-stop motions—are considered. The existence conditions for each steady-state motion are provided. Using analytical analysis, the steady-state responses are derived for the two-frequency oscillating system undergoing both the non-stop and one-stop motions. The focus of the paper is to study the influence of the Coulomb dry friction in combination with the two frequency excitations on the dynamic behavior of the system. From the numerical simulations, it is found that near the resonance, the dynamic response due to the two-frequency excitation demonstrates characteristics significantly different from those due to a single frequency excitation. Furthermore, the one-stop motion demonstrates peculiar characteristics, different from those in the non-stop motion.
