Generic bifurcation of refracted systems

In this article we discuss some qualitative and geometric aspects of non-smooth dynamical systems theory. Our goal is to study the diagram bifurcation of typical singularities that occur generically in one parameter families of certain piecewise smooth vector fields named Refracted Systems. Such systems has a codimension-one submanifold as its discontinuity set.     

A periodically forced,piecewise linear system,Part II: The fragmentation mechanism of strange attractors and grazing

In the first part of this work, the local singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems was discussed and the criteria for the grazing bifurcation were presented mathematically. In this part, the fragmentation mechanism of strange attractors in non-smooth dynamical systems is investigated. The periodic motion transition is completed through grazing. The concepts for the initial and final grazing, switching manifolds are introduced for six basic mappings. The fragmentation of strange attractors in non-smooth dynamical systems is described mathematically. The fragmentation mechanism of the strange attractor for such a non-smooth dynamical system is qualitatively discussed. Such a fragmentation of the strange attractor is illustrated numerically. The criteria and topological structures for the fragmentation of the strange attractor need to be further developed as in hyperbolic strange attractors. The fragmentation of the strange attractors extensively exists in non-smooth dynamical systems, which will help us better understand chaotic motions in non-smooth dynamical systems.     

On grazing and strange attractors fragmentation in non-smooth dynamical systems

This paper presents some new ideas to understand the strange attractor fragmentation caused by grazing in non-smooth dynamic systems. The sufficient and necessary conditions for grazing bifurcations in non-smooth dynamic systems are presented. The initial sets of grazing mapping are introduced and the corresponding initial grazing manifolds are discussed. The grazing-induced fragmentation of strange attractors of chaotic motions in non-smooth dynamical systems is presented. The mathematical theory for such a fragmentation of strange attractors should be further developed.     

Dynamics and bifurcations of travelling wave solutions of R(<Emphasis Type="Italic">m,n</Emphasis>) equations

By using the bifurcation theory and methods of planar dynamical systems to R(m, n) equations, the dynamical behavior of different physical structures like smooth and non-smooth solitary wave, kink wave, smooth and non-smooth periodic wave, and breaking wave is obtained. The qualitative change in the physical structures of these waves is shown to depend on the systemic parameters. Under different regions of parametric spaces, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above waves are given. Moreover, some explicit exact parametric representations of travelling wave solutions are listed.     

A periodically forced,piecewise linear system. Part I: Local singularity and grazing bifurcation

A methodology for the local singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems is systematically presented in this paper, and a periodically forced, piecewise linear system is investigated as a sample problem to demonstrate the methodology. The sliding dynamics along the separation boundary are investigated through the differential inclusion theory. For this sample problem, a perturbation method is introduced to determine the singularity of the sliding dynamics on the separation boundary. The criteria for grazing bifurcation are presented mathematically and numerically. The grazing flows are illustrated numerically. This methodology can be very easily applied to predict grazing motions in other non-smooth dynamical systems. The fragmentation of the strange attractors of chaotic motion will be presented in the second part of this work.

On a class of non-smooth dynamical systems: a sufficient condition for smooth versus non-smooth solutions

In this paper we present a possible classification of the elements of a class of dynamical systems, whose underlying mathematical models contain non-smooth components. For this purpose a sufficient condition is introduced. To illustrate and motivate this classification, three nontrivial and realistic examples are considered.     

Bifurcation analysis of periodic orbits of a non-smooth Jeffcott rotor model

We investigate complex dynamics occurring in a non-smooth model of a Jeffcott rotor with a bearing clearance. A bifurcation analysis of the rotor system is carried out by means of the software TC-HAT [25], a toolbox of AUTO 97 [6] allowing path-following and detection of bifurcations of periodic trajectories of non-smooth dynamical systems. The study reveals a rich variety of dynamics, which includes grazing-induced fold and period-doubling bifurcations, as well as hysteresis loops produced by a cusp singularity. Furthermore, an analytical expression predicting grazing incidences is derived.     

Experimental investigation of an oscillator with discontinuous support considering different system aspects

Non-smooth characteristics are, in general, the source of difficulties for the modeling and simulation of natural systems. These characteristics are usually related to either the friction phenomenon or the discontinuous behavior as intermittent contacts. This article develops an experimental investigation concerning non-smooth systems with discontinuous support. An experimental apparatus is developed in order to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of a single-degree of freedom system with discontinuous support. The apparatus is composed by an oscillator constructed by a car, free to move over a rail, connected to an excitation system. The discontinuous support is constructed considering mass–spring systems separated by a gap to the car position. This apparatus is instrumented to obtain all the system state variables. System dynamical behavior shows a rich response, presenting dynamical jumps, bifurcations and chaos. Different configurations of the experimental set up are treated in order to evaluate the influence of the internal impact within the car and also support characteristics in the system dynamics.     

Bifurcations of travelling wave solutions for modified nonlinear dispersive phi-four equation

By using the bifurcation theory of dynamical systems to modified nonlinear dispersive phi-four equation, we analysis all bifurcations and phase portraits in the parametric space, the existence of solitary wave solutions and uncountably infinite many smooth and non-smooth periodic wave solutions is obtained. Under different parametric conditions, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions are given. Some explicit exact solution formulas are acquired for some special cases.     

Estimation of the dominant Lyapunov exponent of non-smooth systems on the basis of maps synchronization

A novel method of estimation of the largest Lyapunov exponent for discrete maps is introduced and evaluated for chosen examples of maps described by difference equations or generated from non-smooth dynamical systems. The method exploits the phenomenon of full synchronization of two identical discrete maps when one of them is disturbed. The presented results show that this method can be successfully applied both for discrete dynamical systems described by known difference equations and for discrete maps reconstructed from actual time series. Applications of the method for mechanical systems with discontinuities and examples of classical maps are presented. The comparison between the results obtained by means of the known algorithms and novel method is discussed.     

Melnikov method and detection of chaos for non-smooth systems

We extend the Melnikov method to non-smooth dynamical systems to study the global behavior near a non-smooth homoclinic orbit under small time-periodic perturbations. The definition and an explicit expression for the extended Melnikov function are given and applied to determine the appearance of transversal homoclinic orbits and chaos. In addition to the standard integral part, the extended Melnikov function contains an extra term which reflects the change of the vector field at the discontinuity. An example is discussed to illustrate the results.
