Analysis and synthesis of oscillator systems described by perturbed single well Duffing equations

The paper presents an analysis as well as a synthesis of oscillator systems described by single well Duffing equations under polynomial perturbations of fourth degree. It is proved that such a system can have a unique hyperbolic limit cycle. An analytical condition has been obtained for the arising of a limit cycle and an equation giving the parameters of this limit cycle. There has been proposed a method for the synthesis of oscillator systems of the considered type, having preliminarily assigned properties. The synthesis consists of an appropriate choice of the perturbation coefficients in such a way that the oscillator equation should have a preliminary assigned limit cycle. Both the analysis and the synthesis are performed with the help of the Melnikov function.     

Limit Cycles Near Homoclinic and Heteroclinic Loops

In the study of near-Hamiltonian systems, the first order Melnikov function plays an important role. It can be used to study Hopf, homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations, and the so-called weak Hilbert’s 16th problem as well. The form of expansion of the first order Melnikov function at the Hamiltonian value h ₀ such that the curve defined by the equation H(x, y) = h ₀ contains a homoclinic loop has been known together with the first three coefficients of the expansion. In this paper, our main purpose is to give an explicit formula to compute the first four coefficients appeared in the expansion of the first order Melnikov function at the Hamiltonian value h ₀ such that the curve defined by the equation H(x, y) = h ₀ contains a homoclinic or heteroclinic loop, where the formula for the fourth coefficient is new, and to give a way to find limit cycles near the loops by using these coefficients. As an application, we consider polynomial perturbations of degree 4 of quadratic Hamiltonian systems with a heteroclinic loop, and find 3 limit cycles near the loop.

A group of chaotic motion of soft spring quadratic duffing equations

In this paper,we use the Melnikov function method to study a kind of soft Duffing equations(?) Af((?),x) x-x~(2k 1)=r[M(x,(?))cosωt N(x,(?))sinωt](k=1,2,3…)and give the condition that the equations have chaotic motion and bifurcation.The method used in this paper is effective for dealing with the Melnikov function integral of the system whose explict expression of the homoclinic or heteroclinic orbit cannot be given.     

The Sliding Bifurcations in Planar Piecewise Smooth Differential Systems

In this paper we are mainly interested in the bifurcation phenomena for a class of planar piecewise smooth differential systems, where a new phenomenon, i.e. sliding heteroclinic bifurcation, is found. Furthermore we will show that the involved systems can present many interesting bifurcation phenomena, such as the (sliding) heteroclinic bifurcation, sliding (homoclinic) cycle bifurcation and semistable limit cycle bifurcation and so on. The system can have two hyperbolic limit cycles, which are bifurcated in one way from a semistable limit cycle, and in another way from a heteroclinic cycle and a sliding cycle. In the proof of our main results, we will use the geometric singular perturbation theory to analyze the dynamics near the sliding region.     

Bifurcation analysis in the system with the existence of two stable limit cycles and a stable steady state

Van der Pol–Duffing oscillator, which can be used a model for many dynamical system, has been widely concerned. However, most of the systems by scholars are either stable steady states or limit cycles. Here, the self-sustained oscillator with the coexistence of steady state and limit cycles, which is famous for describing the flutter of airfoils with large span ratio in low-speed wind tunnels, is treated in this paper. Using the energy balance method, the deterministic bifurcation of the tristable system with time-delay feedback is investigated. The presence of time-delay feedback expands the bifurcation range of the parameters, making the bifurcation phenomenon more abundant. In addition, according to the stationary probability density function obtained by the stochastic averaging method, stochastic bifurcation of the system with time-delay feedback and noise is explored theoretically. The numerical results confirm the correctness of the theoretical analysis. Transition between the unimodal structure, the bimodal structure and the trimodal structure is found. Many rich bifurcations are available by adjusting the time-delay and noise intensity, which may be conductive to achieve the desired phenomenon in the real-world application.

     

A simple feedback control system: Bifurcations of periodic orbits and chaos

We consider a pendulum subjected to linear feedback control with periodic desired motions. The pendulum is assumed to be driven by a servo-motor with small time constant, so that the feedback control system can be approximated by a periodically forced oscillator. It was previously shown by Melnikov's method that transverse homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits exist and chaos may occur in certain parameter regions. Here we study local bifurcations of harmonics and subharmonics using the second-order averaging method and Melnikov's method. The Melnikov analysis was performed by numerically computing the Melnikov functions. Numerical simulations and experimental measurements are also given and are compared with the previous and present theoretical predictions. Sustained chaotic motions which result from homoclinic and heteroclinic tangles for not only single but also multiple hyperbolic periodic orbits are observed. Fairly good agreement is found between numerical simulation and experimental results.     

Stick-slip chaos detection in coupled oscillators with friction

We consider two coupled oscillators with negative Duffing type stiffness which are self (due to friction) and externally (harmonically) excited. The fundamental solutions of the homoclinic orbit are constructed. Then, the Melnikov–Gruendler approach is used to define the Melnikov’s function including smooth and stick-slip chaotic behaviour. Theoretical considerations are supported by numerical examples.     

Periodic and Homoclinic Motions in Forced,Coupled Oscillators

We study periodic and homoclinic motions in periodically forced, weakly coupled oscillators with a form of perturbations of two independent planar Hamiltonian systems. First, we extend the subharmonic Melnikov method, and give existence, stability and bifurcation theorems for periodic orbits. Second, we directly apply or modify a version of the homoclinic Melnikov method for orbits homoclinic to two types of periodic orbits. The first type of periodic orbit results from persistence of the unperturbed hyperbolic periodic orbit, and the second type is born out of resonances in the unperturbed invariant manifolds. So we see that some different types of homoclinic motions occur. The relationship between the subharmonic and homoclinic Melnikov theories is also discussed. We apply these theories to the weakly coupled Duffing oscillators.     

Analysis of the periodic solutions of a smooth and discontinuous oscillator

In this paper, the periodic solutions of the smooth and discontinuous (SD) oscillator, which is a strongly irrational nonlinear system are discussed for the system having a viscous damping and an external harmonic excitation. A four dimensional averaging method is employed by using the complete Jacobian elliptic integrals directly to obtain the perturbed primary responses which bifurcate from both the hyperbolic saddle and the non-hyperbolic centres of the unperturbed system. The stability of these periodic solutions is analysed by examining the four dimensional averaged equation using Lyapunov method. The results presented herein this paper are valid for both smooth ( α > 0) and discontinuous ( α = 0) stages providing the answer to the question why the averaging theorem spectacularly fails for the case of medium strength of external forcing in the Duffing system analysed by Holmes. Numerical calculations show a good agreement with the theoretical predictions and an excellent efficiency of the analysis for this particular system, which also suggests the analysis is applicable to strongly nonlinear systems.     

Reconstructing the transient,dissipative dynamics of a bistable Duffing oscillator with an enhanced averaging method and Jacobian elliptic functions

Systems characterized by the governing equation of the bistable, double-well Duffing oscillator are ever-present throughout the fields of science and engineering. While the prediction of the transient dynamics of these strongly nonlinear oscillators has been a particular research interest, the sufficiently accurate reconstruction of the dissipative behaviors continues to be an unrealized goal. In this study, an enhanced averaging method using Jacobian elliptic functions is presented to faithfully predict the transient, dissipative dynamics of a bistable Duffing oscillator. The analytical approach is uniquely applied to reconstruct the intrawell and interwell dynamic regimes. By relaxing the requirement for small variation of the transient, averaged parameters in the proposed solution formulation, the resulting analytical predictions are in excellent agreement with exact trajectories of displacement and velocity determined via numerical integration of the governing equation. A wide range of system parameters and initial conditions are utilized to assess the accuracy and computational efficiency of the analytical method, and the consistent agreement between numerical and analytical results verifies the robustness of the proposed method. Although the analytical formulations are distinct for the two dynamic regimes, it is found that directly splicing the inter- and intrawell predictions facilitates good agreement with the exact dynamics of the full reconstructed, transient trajectory.     

Chaotic Oscillation of Saddle Form Cable-Suspended Roofs under Vertical Excitation Action

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic behaviour of saddle form cable-suspended roofs under vertical excitation action. The governing equations of this problem are system of nonlinear partial differential and integral equations. We first establish a spectral equation, and then consider a model with one coefficient, i.e., a perturbed Duffing equation. The analytical solution is derived for the Duffing equation. Successive approximation solutions can be obtained in likely way for each time to only one new unknown function of time. Numerical results are given for our analytical solution. By using the Melnikov method, it is shown that the spectral system has chaotic solutions and subharmonic solutions under determined parametric conditions.     

Optimal Control of Nonregular Dynamics in a Duffing Oscillator

A method for controlling nonlinear dynamics and chaos previouslydeveloped by the authors is applied to the classical Duffing oscillator.The method, which consists in choosing the best shape of externalperiodic excitations permitting to avoid the transverse intersection ofthe stable and unstable manifolds of the hilltop saddle, is firstillustrated and then applied by using the Melnikov method foranalytically detecting homoclinic bifurcations. Attention is focused onoptimal excitations with a finite number of superharmonics, because theyare theoretically performant and easy to reproduce. Extensive numericalinvestigations aimed at confirming the theoretical predictions andchecking the effectiveness of the method are performed. In particular,the elimination of the homoclinic tangency and the regularization offractal basins of attraction are numerically verified. The reduction ofthe erosion of the basins of attraction is also investigated in detail,and the paper ends with a study of the effects of control on delayingcross-well chaotic attractors.     

Bifurcation analysis of the motion of an asymmetric double pendulum subjected to a follower force: Codimension three problem

Local and global bifurcations in the motion of a double pendulum subjected to a follower force have been studied when the follower force and the springs at the joints have structural asymmetries. The bifurcations of the system are examined in the neighborhood of double zero eigenvalues. Applying the center manifold and the normal form theorem to a four-dimensional governing equation, we finally obtain a two-dimensional equation with three unfolding parameters. The local bifurcation boundaries can be obtained for the criteria for the pitchfork and the Hopf bifurcation. The Melnikov theorem is used to find the global bifurcation boundaries for appearance of a homoclinic orbit and coalescence of two limit cycles. Numerical simulation was performed using the original four-dimensional equation to confirm the analytical prediction.

A Melnikov Method for Homoclinic Orbits with Many Pulses

We present an extension of the Melnikov method which can be used for ascertaining the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits with many pulses in a class of near‐integrable systems. The Melnikov function in this situation is the sum of the usual Melnikov functions evaluated with some appropriate phase delays. We show that a nonfolding condition which involves the logarithmic derivative of the Melnikov function must be satisfied in addition to the usual transversality conditions in order for homoclinic orbits with more than one pulse to exist.

Homoclinic Tubes in Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation under Hamiltonian Perturbations

In this paper, we study the discrete cubic nonlinear Schrödinger lattice under Hamiltonian perturbations. First we develop a complete isospectral theory relevant to the hyperbolic structures of the lattice without perturbations. In particular, Bäcklund–Darboux transformations are utilized to generate heteroclinic orbits and Melnikov vectors. Then we give coordinate-expressions for persistent invariant manifolds and Fenichel fibers for the perturbed lattice. Finally based upon the above machinery, existence of codimension 2 transversal homoclinic tubes is established through a Melnikov type calculation and an implicit function argument. We also discuss symbolic dynamics of invariant tubes each of which consists of a doubly infinite sequence of curve segments when the lattice is four dimensional. Structures inside the asymptotic manifolds of the transversal homoclinic tubes are studied, special orbits, in particular homoclinic orbits and heteroclinic orbits when the lattice is four dimensional, are studied.     

Limit cycles and homoclinic orbits and their bifurcation of Bogdanov-Takens system

A quantitative analysis of limit cycles and homoclinic orbits, and the bifurcation curve for the Bogdanov-Takens system are discussed. The parameter incremental method for approximate analytical-expressions of these problems is given. These analytical-expressions of the limit cycle and homoclinic orbit are shown as the generalized harmonic functions by employing a time transformation. Curves of the parameters and the stability characteristic exponent of the limit cycle versus amplitude are drawn. Some of the limit cycles and homoclinic orbits phase portraits are plotted. The relationship curves of parameters μ and A with amplitude a and the bifurcation diagrams about the parameter are also given. The numerical accuracy of the calculation results is good.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles from a Liénard system with a heteroclinic loop connecting two nilpotent saddles

In this article, we study the limit cycles bifurcated from a Liénard system with a heteroclinic loop connecting two nilpotent saddles. We apply expansion theory of a first-order Melnikov function to investigate the number of limit cycles near the heteroclinic loop and the center, and by some perturbation theory we find 3 limit cycles with 7 different distributions. Last, the least upper bound of the number of limit cycles bifurcated from the annulus is given by an algebraic criterion developed in J. Differ. Equ. 251, 1656–1669 (2011).
