On the Global Geometric Structure of the Dynamics of the Elastic Pendulum

We approach the planar elastic pendulum as a singular perturbation of the pendulum to show that its dynamics are governed by global two-dimensional invariant manifolds of motion. One of the manifolds is nonlinear and carries purely slow periodic oscillations. The other one, on the other hand, is linear and carries purely fast radial oscillations. For sufficiently small coupling between the angular and radial degrees of freedom, both manifolds are global and orbitally stable up to energy levels exceeding that of the unstable equilibrium of the system. For fixed value of coupling, the fast invariant manifold bifurcates transversely to create unstable radial oscillations exhibiting energy transfer. Poincaré sections of iso-energetic manifolds reveal that only motions on and near a separatrix emanating from the unstable region of the fast invariant manifold exhibit energy transfer.     

On the Chaotic Dynamics of a Spherical Pendulum with a Harmonically Vibrating Suspension

The equations of motion for a lightly damped spherical pendulum are considered. The suspension point is harmonically excited in both vertical and horizontal directions. The equations are approximated in the neighborhood of resonance by including the third order terms in the amplitude. The stability of equilibrium points of the modulation equations in a four-dimensional space is studied. The periodic orbits of the spherical pendulum without base excitations are revisited via the Jacobian elliptic integral to highlight the role played by homoclinic orbits. The homoclinic intersections of the stable and unstable manifolds of the perturbed spherical pendulum are investigated. The physical parameters leading to chaotic solutions in terms of the spherical angles are derived from the vanishing Melnikov–Holmes–Marsden (MHM) integral. The existence of real zeros of the MHM integral implies the possible chaotic motion of the harmonically forced spherical pendulum as a result from the transverse intersection between the stable and unstable manifolds of the weakly disturbed spherical pendulum within the regions of investigated parameters. The chaotic motion of the modulation equations is simulated via the 4th-order Runge–Kutta algorithms for certain cases to verify the analysis.     

Numerical and geometrical analysis of bifurcation and chaos for an asymmetric elastic nonlinear oscillator

An asymmetric nonlinear oscillator representative of the finite forced dynamics of a structural system with initial curvature is used as a model system to show how the combined use of numerical and geometrical analysis allows deep insight into bifurcation phenomena and chaotic behaviour in the light of the system global dynamics.Numerical techniques are used to calculate fixed points of the response and bifurcation diagrams, to identify chaotic attractors, and to obtain basins of attraction of coexisting solutions. Geometrical analysis in control-phase portraits of the invariant manifolds of the direct and inverse saddles corresponding to unstable periodic motions is performed systematically in order to understand the global attractor structure and the attractor and basin bifurcations.     

Solar sail dynamics in the three-body problem: Homoclinic paths of points and orbits

In this paper we consider the orbital dynamics of a solar sail in the Earth-Sun circular restricted three-body problem. The equations of motion of the sail are given by a set of non-linear autonomous ordinary differential equations, which are non-conservative due to the non-central nature of the force on the sail. We consider first the equilibria and linearisation of the system, then examine the non-linear system paying particular attention to its periodic solutions and invariant manifolds. Interestingly, we find there are equilibria admitting homoclinic paths where the stable and unstable invariant manifolds are identical. What is more, we find that periodic orbits about these equilibria also admit homoclinic paths; in fact the entire unstable invariant manifold winds off the periodic orbit, only to wind back onto it in the future. This unexpected result shows that periodic orbits may inherit the homoclinic nature of the point about which they are described.     

Chaos in the Convective Flow of a Fluid Mixture in a Porous Medium

The results of the study of the global behaviour of the convective flow of a binary mixture in a porous medium are presented. Bifurcation diagram, fixed points, periodic, chaotic solutions, stable and unstable manifolds, and basins of attraction have been calculated. Different behaviours (chaos, undecidable behaviour, etc.) have been found.     

The Parametrically Forced Pendulum: A Case Study in 1 1/2 Degree of Freedom

This paper is concerned with the global coherent (i.e., non-chaotic) dynamics of the parametrically forced pendulum. The system is studied in a === degree of freedom Hamiltonian setting with two parameters, where a spatio-temporal symmetry is taken into account. Our explorations are restricted to large regions of coherent dynamics in phase space and parameter plane. At any given parameter point we restrict to a bounded subset of phase space, using KAM theory to exclude an infinitely large region with rather trivial dynamics. In the absence of forcing the system is integrable. Analytical and numerical methods are used to study the dynamics in a parameter region away from integrability, where the analytic results of a perturbation analysis of the nearly integrable case are used as a starting point. We organize the dynamics by dividing the parameter plane in fundamental domains, guided by the linearized system at the upper and lower equilibria. Away from integrability some features of the nearly integrable coherent dynamics persist, while new bifurcations arise. On the other hand, the chaotic region increases.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 37J20, 37J40, 37M20, 70H08.Dedicated to Professor Shui-Nee Chow on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

Chaos in a pendulum with feedback control

We study chaotic dynamics of a pendulum subjected to linear feedback control with periodic desired motions. The pendulum is assumed to be driven by a servo-motor with small inductance, so that the feedback control system reduces to a periodic perturbation of a planar Hamiltonian system. This Hamiltonian system can possess multiple saddle points with non-transverse homoclinic and/or heteroclinic orbits. Using Melnikov's method, we obtain criteria for the existence of chaos in the pendulum motion. The computation of the Melnikov functions is performed by a numerical method. Several numerical examples are given and the theoretical predictions are compared with numerical simulation results for the behavior of invariant manifolds.     

Analysis of atypical orbits in one-dimensional piecewise-linear discontinuous maps

In this paper, boundary regions of 1-D linear piecewise-smooth discontinuous maps are examined analytically. It is shown that, under certain parameter conditions, maps exhibit atypical orbits like a continuum of periodic orbits and quasi-periodic orbits. Further, we have derived the conditions under which such phenomenon occurs. The paper also illustrates that there exists a specific parameter region where as the parameter is varied, there is a transition from stable to unstable periodic orbits. Moreover, we have derived an expression for the value of parameter at which this transition from stable to unstable periodic orbits occurs. Additionally, the dynamics concerning this value of parameter is also given.

     

Deterministic and stochastic analyses of chaotic and overturning responses of a slender rocking object

The relationship between chaos and overturning in the rocking response of a rigid object under periodic excitation is examined from both deterministic and stochastic points of view. A stochastie extension of the deterministic Melnikov function (employed to provide a lower bound for the possible chaotic domain in parameter space) is derived by taking into account the presence of random noise. The associated Fokker-Planck equation is derived to obtain the joint probability density functions in state space. It is shown that global behavior of the rocking motion can be effectively studied via the evolution of the joint probability density function. A mean Poincaré mapping technique is developed to average out noise effects on the chaotic response to reconstruct the embedded strange attractor on the Poincaré section. The close relationship between chaos and overturning is demonstrated by examining the structure of the invariant manifolds. It is found that the presence of noise enlarges the boundary of possible chaotic domains in parameter space and bridges the domains of attraction of coexisting responses. Numerical results consistent with the Foguel alternative theorem, which discerns asymptotic stabilities of responses, indicate that the overturning attracting domain is of the greatest strength. The presence of an embedded strange attractor (reconstructed using the mean Poincaré mapping technique) indicates the existence of transient chaotic rocking response.

Melnikov's method for rigid bodies subject to small perturbation torques

Summary In this paper, the global motion of rigid bodies subjected to small perturbation torques, either conservative or dissipative, is investigated by means of Melnikov's method. Deprit's variables are introduced to transform the equations of motion into a standard form which is rendered suitable for the application of Melnikov's method. The Melnikov method is used to predict the transversal intersections of stable and unstable manifolds for the pertubed rigid-body motion. The chosen examples are a self-excited rigid body subject to a small periodic torque in a viscous medium, and the heavy rigid body. It is shown in both cases that there exist transversal intersections of heteroclinic orbits for certain ranges of parameter values.     

Detecting stable�Cunstable nonlinear invariant manifold and?homoclinic orbits in mechanical systems

We consider a four-dimensional Hamiltonian system representing the reduced-order (two-mode) dynamics of a buckled beam, where the nonlinearity comes from the axial deformation in moderate displacements, according to classical theories. The system has a saddle-center equilibrium point, and we pay attention to the existence and detection of the stable?Cunstable nonlinear manifold and of homoclinic solutions, which are the sources of complex and chaotic dynamics observed in the system response. The system has also a coupling nonlinear parameter, which depends on the boundary conditions, and is zero, e.g., for the beam hinged?Chinged ends and different from zero, e.g., for the beam fixed?Cfixed ends. The invariant manifold in the latter case is detected assuming that it can be represented as a graph over the plane spanned by the unstable (principal) variable and its velocity. We show by a series solution that the manifold exists but has a limited extension, not sufficient for the deployment of the homoclinic orbit. Thus, the homoclinic orbit is addressed directly, irrespective of its belonging to the invariant manifold. By means of the perturbation method, it is shown that it exists only on some curves of the governing parameters space, which branch from a fundamental path. This shows that the homoclinic orbit is not generic. These results have been confirmed by numerical simulations and by a different analytical technique.     

Complete dynamical analysis of a neuron model

In-depth understanding of the generic mechanisms of transitions between distinct patterns of the activity in realistic models of individual neurons presents a fundamental challenge for the theory of applied dynamical systems. The knowledge about likely mechanisms would give valuable insights and predictions for determining basic principles of the functioning of neurons both isolated and networked. We demonstrate a computational suite of the developed tools based on the qualitative theory of differential equations that is specifically tailored for slow–fast neuron models. The toolkit includes the parameter continuation technique for localizing slow-motion manifolds in a model without need of dissection, the averaging technique for localizing periodic orbits and determining their stability and bifurcations, as well as a reduction apparatus for deriving a family of Poincaré return mappings for a voltage interval. Such return mappings allow for detailed examinations of not only stable fixed points but also unstable limit solutions of the system, including periodic, homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. Using interval mappings we can compute various quantitative characteristics such as topological entropy and kneading invariants for examinations of global bifurcations in the neuron model.     

Self-interrupted regenerative metal cutting in turning

A new approach is used to study the global dynamics of regenerative metal cutting in turning. The cut surface is modeled using a partial differential equation (PDE) coupled, via boundary conditions, to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) modeling the dynamics of the cutting tool. This approach automatically incorporates the multiple-regenerative effects accompanying self-interrupted cutting. Taylor's 3/4 power law model for the cutting force is adopted. Lower dimensional ODE approximations are obtained for the combined tool-workpiece model using Galerkin projections, and a bifurcation diagram computed. The unstable solution branch off the subcritical Hopf bifurcation meets the stable branch involving self-interrupted dynamics in a turning point bifurcation. The tool displacement at that turning point is estimated, which helps identify cutting parameter ranges where loss of stability leads to much larger self-interrupted motions than in some other ranges. Numerical bounds are also obtained on the parameter values which guarantee global stability of steady-state cutting, i.e., parameter values for which there exist neither unstable periodic motions nor self-interrupted motions about the stable equilibrium.     

Reaction-diffusion systems in nonconvex domains: Invariant manifold and reduced form

A study is made of systems of weakly coupled, semilinear, parabolic equations, namely reaction-diffusion systems, subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in parametrized nonconvex domains inR ². It is assumed that the domain approaches a union of two disjoint domains as the parameter varies. Under some conditions the long-time behavior of bounded solutions is discussed and the existence of a finite-dimensional invariant manifold is shown, together with its attractivity. This manifold is represented by a graph of some function defined in a possibly large bounded region of the phase space, and the original system is reduced to an ODE system on it. Since an explicit form of the reduced ODE system is given, its dynamics can be studied in detail, which in turn reveals the global dynamics of the original reaction-diffusion system. One can thereby prove, among other things, the existence of asymptotically stable equilibrium solutions of the original system having large spatial inhomogeneity. The existence and stability of a spatially inhomogeneous periodic solution of large amplitude are also discussed.     

Onset of chaotic motion in a gyroscopic system

We study forced vibrations of a gimbal gyro occurring if the inner ring is subjected to a perturbing torque that is the sum of the viscous friction torque and a periodic small-amplitude torque. In the absence of the perturbing torque, there exist two steady-state motions of the gimbal gyro, in which the gimbal rings are either orthogonal or coincide. These motions are respectively stable and unstable. We obtain an equation for the unperturbed system, whose separatrix passes through hyperbolic points. The distance between these points (the Melnikov distance) is calculated to find a condition for the intersection of the separatrices of the perturbed system. We find a domain in the parameter space where the distance changes sign, which indicates the onset of chaotic motion.     

Global Bifurcations and Chaotic Dynamics in Nonlinear Nonplanar Oscillations of a Parametrically Excited Cantilever Beam

This paper presents the analysis of the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of a cantilever beam subjected to a harmonic axial excitation and transverse excitations at the free end. The governing nonlinear equations of nonplanar motion with parametric and external excitations are obtained. The Galerkin procedure is applied to the partial differential governing equation to obtain a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system with parametric and forcing excitations. The resonant case considered here is 2:1 internal resonance, principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance for the in-plane mode and fundamental parametric resonance–primary resonance for the out-of-plane mode. The parametrically and externally excited system is transformed to the averaged equations by using the method of multiple scales. From the averaged equation obtained here, the theory of normal form is applied to find the explicit formulas of normal forms associated with a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues. Based on the normal form obtained above, a global perturbation method is utilized to analyze the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics in the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. The global bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist the heteroclinic bifurcations and the Silnikov type single-pulse homoclinic orbit in the averaged equation for the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. These results show that the chaotic motions can occur in the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. Numerical simulations verify the analytical predictions.     

Dynamics of a multi-DOF beam system with discontinuous support

This paper deals with the long term behaviour of periodically excited mechanical systems consisting of linear components and local nonlinearities. The particular system investigated is a 2D pinned-pinned beam, which halfway its length is supported by a one-sided spring and excited by a periodic transversal force. The linear part of this system is modelled by means of the finite element method and subse1uently reduced using a Component Mode Synthesis method. Periodic solutions are computed by solving a two-point boundary value problem using finite differences or, alternatively, by using the shooting method. Branches of periodic solutions are followed at a changing design variable by applying a path following technique. Floquet multipliers are calculated to determine the local stability of these solutions and to identify local bifurcation points. Also stable and unstable manifolds are calculated. The long term behaviour is also investigated by means of standard numerical time integration, in particular for determining chaotic motions. In addition, the Cell Mapping technique is applied to identify periodic and chaotic solutions and their basins of attraction. An extension of the existing cell mapping methods enables to investigate systems with many degress of freedom. By means of the above methods very rich complex dynamic behaviour is demonstrated for the beam system with one-sided spring support. This behaviour is confirmed by experimental results.
