The authors examine the rocking responses of rigid objects under combined deterministic and stochastic excitations of arbitrary relative intensities from a fully probabilistic viewpoint. The associated Fokker-Planck equation is derived and solved numerically by a path-integral solution technique to obtain the joint probability density functions (JPDFs). The evolutions and the steady states of the JPDFs are used to clarify the global behavior of the rocking responses. As noted in a companion paper, numerical results verify that the presence of stochastic excitation bridges the domains of attraction of coexisting responses, and that overturning attractors are of the greatest relative stability. Thus, all rocking response trajectories that come near the heteroclinic orbit eventually overturn under the influence of stochastic excitation. A rapid leakage of the probability out of the "safe" domain to the overturning regime implies weak stability of the chaotic attractor. Sensitivity of rocking responses to system parameters and (non)stationarity of the stochastic excitation, based on mean first-passage time as a performance index, are also examined.
