We consider a mechanical system consisting ofn-penduli and ad-degree-of-freedom rotator. The phase space of the rotator defines a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold. We apply a time-dependent perturbation, which is not assumed to be either Hamiltonian, or periodic, or quasi-periodic, as we allow for rather general time dependence. The strength of the perturbation is given by a parameter. For allsufficiently small, the augmented flow—obtained by making the time into a new variable—has a normally hyperbolic locally invariant manifold. For,. We define a Melnikov-type vector, which gives the first-order expansion of the displacement of the stable and unstable manifolds ofunder the perturbation. We provide an explicit formula for the Melnikov vector in terms of convergent improper integrals of the perturbation along homoclinic orbits of the unperturbed system. We show that if the perturbation satisfies some explicit non-degeneracy conditions, then the stable and unstable manifolds of,and, respectively, intersect along a transverse homoclinic manifold, and, moreover, the splitting ofandcan be explicitly computed, up to the first order, in terms of the Melnikov-type vector. This implies that the excursions along some homoclinic trajectories yield a non-trivial increase of orderin the action variables of the rotator, for all sufficiently small perturbations. The formulas that we obtain are independent of the unperturbed motions in, and give, at the same time, the effects on periodic, quasi-periodic, or general-type orbits. When the perturbation is Hamiltonian, we express the effects of the perturbation, up to the first order, in terms of a Melnikov potential. In addition, if the perturbation is periodic, we obtain that the non-degeneracy conditions on the Melnikov potential are generic.
