Bifurcations and chaotic threshold for a nonlinear system with an irrational restoring force

Nonlinear dynamical systems with an irrational restoring force often occur in both science and engineering, and always lead to a barrier for conventional nonlinear techniques. In this paper, we have investigated the global bifurcations and the chaos directly for a nonlinear system with irrational nonlinearity avoiding the conventional Taylor's expansion to retain the natural characteristics of the system. A series of transformations are proposed to convert the homoclinic orbits of the unperturbed system to the heteroclinic orbits in the new coordinate, which can be transformed back to the analytical expressions of the homoclinic orbits. Melnikov's method is employed to obtain the criteria for chaotic motion, which implies that the existence of homoclinic orbits to chaos arose from the breaking of homoclinic orbits under the perturbation of damping and external forcing. The efficiency of the criteria for chaotic motion obtained in this paper is verified via bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, and numerical simulations. It is worthwhile noting that our study is an attempt to make a step toward the solution of the problem proposed by Cao Q J et al. (Cao Q J, Wiercigroch M, Pavlovskaia E E, Thompson J M T and Grebogi C 2008 Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 366 635).

Hopf Bifurcations for the Recently Proposed Smooth-and-Discontinuous Oscillator

We investigate the Hopf bifurcations of the recently proposed smooth-and-discontinuous （SD） oscillator which exhibits both smooth and discontinuous dynamics depending on the value of a parameter a. The nonlinearity presented in this system characterizes irrationality and piecewise linearity for smooth and discontinuous cases, respectively, which could not meet the requirements of the conventional methods due to the barrier of Taylor expansion. Introducing a series of new kinds of elliptic integrals of the first and second kind to the perturbed oscillator, we obtain the Poincare-Birchoff normal forms of Hopf bifurcations for both smooth and discontinuous regimes. We also demonstrate the criteria for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations, the stability of periodic solutions bifurcating from the equilibria and the excellent agreement between the theoretical and numerical results.     

Shilnikov sense chaos in a simple three-dimensional system

The Shilnikov sense Smale horseshoe chaos in a simple 3D nonlinear system is studied.The proportional integral derivative(PID) controller is improved by introducing the quadratic and cubic nonlinearities into the governing equations.For the discussion of chaos,the bifurcate parameter value is selected in a reasonable regime at the requirement of the Shilnikov theorem.The analytic expression of the Shilnikov type homoclinic orbit is accomplished.It depends on the series form of the manifolds surrounding the saddle-focus equilibrium.Then the methodology is extended to research the dynamical behaviours of the simplified solar-wind-driven-magnetosphere-ionosphere system.As is illustrated,the Lyapunov characteristic exponent spectra of the two systems indicate the existence of chaotic attractor under some specific parameter conditions.     

SOLUTIONS FOR SECOND ORDER IMPULSIVE INTEGRO- DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION ON UNBOUNDED DOMAINS IN BANACH SPACES

Under loose conditions, the existence of solutions to initial value problem are studied for second order impulsive integro-differential equation with infinite moments of impulse effect on the positive half real axis in Banach spaces. By the use of recurrence method, Tonelii sequence and the locally convex topology, the new existence theorems are achieved, which improve the related results obtained by Guo Da-jun.     

Codimension-two bifurcation of axial loaded beam bridge subjected to an infinite series of moving loads

A novel model is proposed which comprises of a beam bridge subjected to an axial load and an infinite series of moving loads. The moving loads, whose distance between the neighbouring ones is the length of the beam bridge, coupled with the axial force can lead the vibration of the beam bridge to codimension-two bifurcation. Of particular concern is a parameter regime where non-persistence set regions undergo a transition to persistence regions. The boundary of each stripe represents a bifurcation which can drive the system off a kind of dynamics and jump to another one, causing damage due to the resulting amplitude jumps. The Galerkin method, averaging method, invertible linear transformation, and near identity nonlinear transformations are used to obtain the universal unfolding for the codimension-two bifurcation of the mid-span deflection. The efficiency of the theoretical analysis obtained in this paper is verified via numerical simulations.
