In this paper, symmetric and asymmetric period-1 motions in a periodically forced, time-delayed, softening Duffing oscillator is analytically predicted through a discrete implicit mapping method. Such a method is based on the discretization of the corresponding differential equation. The stability and bifurcations of the symmetric and asymmetric period-1 motions are determined through eigenvalue analysis. Numerical simulation of the period-1 motions in the time-delayed softening Duffing oscillator is presented for verification of the analytical prediction.
